The Mike McCarthy era is over in Dallas. McCarthy will not return as the Cowboys HC for the 2025 season as the two sides could not come to terms on an agreement on the length of a new contract, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported on Monday.

This is a stunner -- the Dallas Cowboys have decided they won't reach a new deal with head coach Mike McCarthy before Tuesday's deadline, putting a big name on the market in the middle of this year's hiring cycle.

DALLAS (AP) — Mike McCarthy will not return as coach of the Dallas Cowboys, who are going on three decades since their last Super Bowl title, owner Jerry Jones said Monday. Jones said the organization and McCarthy mutually agreed to part ways. A search for the team's next coach begins immediately, he said.
