Cowboys, Mike McCarthy breakup about differences of opinion

The Dallas Cowboys have begun looking for a new head coach after not agreeing to a new contract with Mike McCarthy. Both camps appeared motivated to reach a deal as of last week, but neither budged on their opinion of what McCarthy’s accomplished in Dallas and what he deserved going forward. And in this case, neither side may be wrong.

The latest reports say that after a long review of the Cowboys’ performance last season and the state of the franchise after five years of McCarthy’s coaching, there was a mutual agreement for them to go separate ways.
