Mike McCarthy's unemployment has come to an end after he was hired by the Dallas Cowboys on Monday, he confirmed to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Jay Glazer of Fox Sports was first to report the agreement. Glazer also reported that an official announcement and press conference will occur "later this week." The news comes after the team announced it would be parting ways with Jason Garrett.

McCarthy was fired by the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 2, the same day the team was stunned 20-17 by the Arizona Cardinals.
