The wait is finally over. Mike McCarthy is not the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys anymore. He lasted five eventful years with three seasons in the middle when he took the team to the playoffs. On the outside of those promising seasons, his squad finished with a losing record, largely due to being without his starting quarterback, Dak Prescott.
When McCarthy was hired to take over the team from Jason Garrett, the hope was that he would do something his predecessor couldn’t - advance past the divisional round. Sadly, the Cowboys' playoff fate ended the same way it had before.
