Leave it to Jerry Jones to highjack the NFL offseason, right the in middle of the playoffs.

As a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, it’s often difficult to remember what it’s like for my team to be in flux in the offseason. The Jones family has owned and operated the franchise since 1989, three years before my oldest memory of watching the Cowboys play.

The next Cowboys head coach will be the 10th in team history, and the ninth under Jerry Jones's employ. So, who wants this job? And who does Jerry want?

It's not up there with having the audacity to fire legendary coach Tom Landry on a golf course in Austin, but Jerry Jones' fumbling of Mike McCarthy's exit from the Dallas Cowboys is, at best, a horrible look and,

The Cowboys compiled a 49-35 record in McCarthy’s five seasons. Tom Landry and Jason Garrett are the only coaches in franchise history with more victories.

The Chicago Bears announced Wednesday that the team had completed an interview with McCarthy just two days after he parted ways with Dallas.

McCarthy leaves looking like the bigger man. Partially because of the malaise that began to coat the Cowboys' fan base and partially because Jerry seems to again be operating on his gut as he moves forward.

There's no job in sports like head coach of the Cowboys. Expect Jerry Jones to ignite lots of drama in the search for Mike McCarthy's replacement.

DALLAS (AP) — Mike McCarthy is not returning as coach of the Dallas Cowboys, who are going on three decades since their last Super Bowl title, owner Jerry Jones said in a statement Monday. Jones said the organization and McCarthy mutually agreed to part ways. The team’s search for its next coach begins immediately, he says.
