Cowboys news: Cowboys make changes to coaching staff, Mike Nolan, Jim Tomsula out

Cowboys have fired Mike Nolan and Jim Tomsula after one season with the team.

FRISCO - Should Mike Nolan be judged on his 16-game body of work, which included an ill-fated offseason plan and a 6-10 record? Or on the December three-game win streak, during which his defense produced 10 takeaways?

Or on Sunday’s 23-19 playoff-dream-killing loss at the New York Giants?

The decision has been made by the Jones family. Nolan, as of Friday, is fired, as is his top assistant, D-line coach Jim Tomsula.

The PR-released remarks from head coach Mike McCarthy:

“I am appreciative of my relationships with both Mike and Jim, and I am grateful for the contributions that both of them made to our team under difficult circumstances in 2020.
