Mike McCarthy

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said he “would expect Mike McCarthy to be a head coach candidate elsewhere” if an agreeable deal from the Cowboys fails to materialize.

Rapoport specifically addressed the idea of the Cowboys offering McCarthy a one-year deal, indicating that McCarthy may be unwilling to sign a contract that lacks a multi-year commitment. Rapoport was also careful to note that he expects McCarthy to have other head coaching opportunities elsewhere in the NFL, if he hits free agency, as scheduled.
