Former Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy does not plan to coach this year. The New Orleans Saints are the only team still looking to hire a head coach, with six other franchises previously filling their vacancies.

Weeks after being unable to come to a contract agreement with the Cowboys, Mike McCarthy has decided he will not coach in the NFL in 2025 and will instead focus on the 2026 hiring cycle, per NFL Network.

The Dallas Cowboys have seemed to have nailed many staff hires after making Brian Schottenheimer the head coach. Now, the franchise is zeroing in on a running backs coach.

Brian Schottenheimer is casting a wide net for his Dallas Cowboys staff. Hired to replace Mike McCarthy as head coach, Schottenheimer will aim to improve an offense that struggled without Dak Prescott last season.

The Dallas Cowboys have made another addition to Brian Schottenheimer’s staff. According to Nick Harris of Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cowboys are hiring Derrick Foster as the team’s running backs coach.
