The Dallas Cowboys are entering their second week of searching for a head coach after moving on from Mike McCarthy last week. As of Monday morning, three interviews have been requested by the Jones family but there are names expected to be added to their list of candidates as they take it slow with their search.

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.

DALLAS — Mike McCarthy is not returning as coach of the Dallas Cowboys, who are going on three decades since their last Super Bowl title, a person with knowledge of the decision told the Associated Press on Monday.

Current Cowboys Offensive Coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is seen as a favorite for the team’s pick to replace Mike McCarthy — but he’s not the only name being floated for the job.

Just a few hours after the official announcement from Jones that the Cowboys would be parting ways with McCarthy, ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz reported that Jones has spoken to the Colorado coach about the Cowboys’ newly vacant head coaching gig.

There seems to be even more confusion regarding the Dallas Cowboys head coaching vacancy than when Jerry Jones first began the team's search.
