The Dallas Cowboys are your 2023 NFC East Champions following Sunday’s victory over the Washington Commanders. It is the team’s second division title since Mike McCarthy became head coach in 2020. That puts him in good company among the lineage of Cowboys coaches.
With two NFC East titles in his first four seasons, McCarthy has achieved something that even Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells didn’t in their runs with Dallas. Only Tom Landry, Barry Switzer, and Wade Phillips have had that much early success with the Cowboys.
Landry comes with a bit of an asterisk as there were no divisions in the NFL during his first seven seasons.
