Cowboys waste no time, reportedly agree to make Mike McCarthy their new head coach

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones desperately wants another Super Bowl ring, so he got a coach who already has one.

Mike McCarthy, the longtime coach of the Green Bay Packers before he was fired during the 2018 season, will take over for Jason Garrett according to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer. McCarthy had talked to the Cowboys last week. NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero said McCarthy told him Monday morning he was the Cowboys’ new coach.
