Mike McCarthy Discusses Relationship with Jerry Jones, Sean Payton Rumors

Until nearly three weeks ago, the Cowboys had been at the center of potential rumors concerning coaching changes within the franchise. Those speculations stemmed from comments by owner Jerry Jones, who was not happy when Dallas was eliminated in the wild-card round of playoffs in January.

But with Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn—who held interviews with five teams for head coaching vacancies around the league—returning, things appear to be on one accord in Dallas.

McCarthy addressed Jones’s comments about Quinn potentially being head coach material and rumors of former Saints coach Sean Payton being linked to Dallas on the Rich Eisen Show on Tuesday.
