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.

The move comes after McCarthy and the Cowboys missed the playoffs for the first time since his inaugural season in 2020.

The #Cowboys and Mike McCarthy had positive discussions last week about the 2024 season and the future. But McCarthy’s contract was set to expire Tuesday and the sides couldn’t work out a deal. Now Dallas needs a new coach and McCarthy is expected to have interest elsewhere. https://t.co/7y1av0jm8v
