The more things change, the more they stay the same.
After the Dallas Cowboys became the first team in league history to lose to a No. 7 seed in the playoffs (while allowing 48 points in a blowout loss to the Green Bay Packers), there was no shortage of speculation that Mike McCarthy's time as head coach was over.
Well, on Wednesday, McCarthy and team owner Jerry Jones met—and nothing happened. McCarthy will return for the final year of his contract.
"I believe this team is very close and capable of achieving our ultimate goals and the best step forward for us will be with Mike McCarthy as our head coach," Jones said in a statement.
