Mike McCarthy hung his play-calling hat in the closet after being let go from Green Bay during the 2018 season. There it would sit for five years, waiting for another opportunity. After the Dallas Cowboys decided to part ways with Kellen Moore, the hat has been dusted off and is ready for use once more in 2023.
It will be the first time during his tenure in Dallas that McCarthy will be in charge of relaying the calls to Dak Prescott in the huddle. When the Jones family hired McCarthy as their head coach, they were hiring an offensive mind with proven success that helped lead his team to the Super Bowl.
