Report: Ex-Packers Coach Mike McCarthy to Meet With Cowboys

Former Packers head coach Mike McCarthy is flying to Dallas to meet with the Cowboys on Saturday, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

McCarthy will be Dallas' first interview for its head coaching vacancy on Saturday, per Rapoport. Jason Garrett has not been formally fired, but "the expectation is [the Cowboys] are moving on," according to Rapoport. Garrett's contract with the Cowboys expires on Jan. 14.

McCarthy is expected to be the first of multiple candidates interviewed for Dallas' head coach search. The Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones are focusing primarily on former NFL head coaches, per Rapoport.
