McCarthy's overall lack of playoff success and the offense getting stale are big reasons Jerry Jones is making a coaching change.
McCarthy leaves looking like the bigger man. Partially because of the malaise that began to coat the Cowboys' fan base and partially because Jerry seems to again be operating on his gut as he moves forward.
The Dallas Cowboys could be closing in on promoting Brian Schottenheimer to replace Mike McCarthy as head coach. Fans in Dallas might not be too happy with this.
The first name that drew widespread attention after McCarthy's departure was Deion Sanders. But three others are getting interviews.

So “Big Mike” lieutenant Brian Schottenheimer is the new Cowboys coach … while McCarthy is left sitting out a year until he gets another crack on the NFL Coach Carousel.
The Cowboys have moved on from Mike McCarthy and now the veteran head coach has made a decision on his future.
Weeks after being unable to come to a contract agreement with the Cowboys, Mike McCarthy has decided he will not coach in the NFL in 2025 and will instead focus on the 2026 hiring cycle, per NFL Network.
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — The Cowboys hired former Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus as defensive coordinator Tuesday for his second stint on the Dallas staff.
For some, the Brian Schottenheimer hire is seen as a "safe" one, or even an "uninspiring'' one. That is certainly one criticism aimed at owner Jerry Jones.
Now that the Dallas Cowboys have hired a new head coach, one NFL analyst thinks their biggest star could put in a trade request.
