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.

McCarthy and the Cowboys fell into a big hole in the 2022 wild card round against San Francisco, trailing 23-7 entering the fourth quarter. Dallas made a mad scramble to try and get back into it, and was actually driving into 49ers territory in the game’s final minute with a chance to take the lead.
