When the Dallas Cowboys and former head coach Mike McCarthy decided to part ways on Monday after five good but not enough seasons together, there were some who right away wanted to speculate about McCarthy to the New York Giants.
New York Daily News Giants reporter Pat Leonard fanned the flames with this:
The #Cowboys moving on from Mike McCarthy, I would think, means they believe they can/will get Ben Johnson -- unless they're eyeing an established coach via trade
Also, I know the #Giants want to run it back and all, but they should call Mike McCarthy— Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) January 13, 2025New Jersey Advance Media also joined the speculation.
