Mike McCarthy has spent most of his first offseason as coach of the Dallas Cowboys at home in Green Bay.
He's also leaning on the experience of 13 years leading the Packers to help figure out how to implement a new program while the coronavirus pandemic prevents him from being in the same room with players or assistant coaches.
Meantime, McCarthy sure is ready to get back to the Cowboys' facility north of Dallas, particularly because live offseason practices would be happening now under normal circumstances.
''I have been with my family the whole time, except for maybe the first 10 days of the pandemic,'' McCarthy said Wednesday in his first teleconference with reporters since the draft.
