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,

McCarthy's overall lack of playoff success and the offense getting stale are big reasons Jerry Jones is making a coaching change.

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.

McCarthy spent six years in the college ranks before he broke into the NFL in 1993 on Marty Schottenheimer’s Kansas City staff as a quality control coach. He was a quarterback coach for the Chiefs and Green Bay Packers before leaving to become the offensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints in 2000.

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.

Dallas parted ways with McCarthy this week after a disappointing season. The Denton Record Chronicle's Brett Vito spoke with KERA's Andrew Garcia about where the Cowboys go from here.

With Glenn going to New York, Johnson heading to Chicago and Mike Vrabel already in New England, four head coaching vacancies remain. The Saints, Jaguars, Raiders and Cowboys are still in the hunt. Johnson, who was Detroit’s offensive coordinator, picked the Bears on Monday, two days after the No. 1 seeded Lions lost to Washington.

The Cowboys interviewed Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who played for the team and then served as Dak Prescott’s play-caller for four seasons. Dallas also interviewed former Jets coach Robert Saleh and former Vikings coach Leslie Frazier.

The Dallas Cowboys are one of four teams still looking for a head coach. However, just how coveted should the Cowboys head coaching position be?

According to reports from NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Cowboys are planning a second interview on Wednesday with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer for their head coaching vacancy. The Cowboys reportedly spent four hours in their initial interview with Schottenheimer on Monday.
