Now entering his 14th year as an NFL head coach, Mike McCarthy has gone from one extreme to the other when it comes to franchise management. As the head coach of the Green Bay Packers from nearly 13 seasons, McCarthy didn’t have a hands-on owner looking over his shoulder. Instead, his owners were Packer fans themselves as Green Bay is publicly-owned.
Introduced as the newest head coach of the Dallas Cowboys earlier this week, McCarthy now faces an opposite challenge in Big D. And his name is Jerry Jones.
As owner and general manager of America’s Team, Jones is the public face of the Cowboys.
