The Cowboys decided Monday they would not bring back head coach Mike McCarthy, whose exclusive negotiating window was set to expire on Tuesday night, per NFL Network. That means the Cowboys will join the Bears, Jets, Saints, Jaguars and Raiders in looking for a new head coach. The Patriots hired Mike Vrabel on Sunday.

After parting ways with the Cowboys, Mike McCarthy has interviewed for the Bears head coach role. Could a return to the NFC North be coming?

DALLAS (AP) — Mike McCarthy is not returning as coach of the Dallas Cowboys, who are going on three decades since their last Super Bowl title, owner Jerry Jones said in a statement Monday. Jones said the organization and McCarthy mutually agreed to part ways. The team’s search for its next coach begins immediately, he says.
