INDIANAPOLIS -- Mike McCarthy said he felt overwhelmingly blessed to walk back into the NFL Scouting Combine as an NFL head coach after a year away from the game.
"Thankful for the break," the first-year coach of the Dallas Cowboys said Wednesday. "Thankful to be back."
McCarthy said the new job in Dallas is more similar to his old gig with the Green Bay Packers than most might think. Both have a family-first atmosphere and a rich NFL tradition.
Owner Jerry Jones brings the same urgency to get to the Super Bowl that McCarthy experienced in Green Bay, but there are a lot of boxes to check in the offseason for the Cowboys.
