The Dallas Cowboys officially decided to move on from head coach Mike McCarthy, whose contract with the organization was up. After weighing McCarthy's future, owner Jerry Jones ultimately opted not to renew his deal.
We live in an offensive-driven league, and Johnson’s resume speaks for itself – at a young age, he’s proven capable of elevating the pieces around him in a significant way, something every team in the NFL finds appealing.
We are talking about one of the best offensive minds in the sport who is still on the right side of 60 years old. Due to the direction of the NFL, a coach like this is currently valued as high as ever.
Former linebacker Ron Rivera knew how to build strong defenses and bounce back after rough seasons. During his first three seasons as the Panthers' head coach, Carolina improved from the 27th-ranked scoring defense in 2011 to 18th in 2012 and second in 2013.
Carroll’s resume on the offensive end is highlighted by the selecting and developing of Wilson while the defensive peak is stamped by one of the most dominant runs we’ve ever seen.
If Jones wants to go with a familiar face, perhaps he gives former Cowboys quarterback and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore a call. The two already have a relationship, which could help Moore move to the front of the line.
If Jones wants to make a splash and ensure that Dallas will remain the talk of the sports world, perhaps he calls former Cowboys cornerback Deion Sanders. Sanders did a terrific job leading the Colorado Buffaloes this season, producing a pair of potential top-five picks in the 2025 NFL Draft (Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter).
