The Dallas Cowboys begin their search for a new coach after the news broke that the franchise is moving on from Jason Garrett. They are now looking for a capable coach to help Jerry Jones' team get over the bump, and Mike McCarthy may be one candidate who can pull off the job.
There are plenty of coaches available on the market, and there are also other NFL teams looking for a capable tactician to help them finish the job that avoided Garrett from a decade's worth of leadership from the Dallas sidelines.
What exactly makes the combination between McCarthy and Jerry Jones' Cowboys a no-brainer of a decision? This piece will try to decipher why McCarthy to Dallas is a good combination
McCarthy has the championship pedigree Jones badly needs
Jones desperately wants America's Team back in the Super Bowl and is willing to do anything to get that done. He knows that his team has the talent it needs to get to a Super Bowl. All he needs at this point is a clever coach who will pull off the very thing that eluded his team for a good while: a Super Bowl win.
McCarthy is more than qualified to do that, as he has one of the more impressive resumes among free agent coaches. His tenure as head coach of the Green Bay Packers is one that is filled with playoff contention and one that saw him win Super Bowl XLIV.
He knows what it takes to win a Super Bowl, and that is something Jones didn't have in Garrett. It would be foolish for him not to get McCarthy for his experience alone.
McCarthy plays exciting offenses
McCarthy is a figure known to be a capable offensive mind, and he's shown that and more during his stint with Green Bay. He helped Aaron Rodgers become one of the most respected quarterbacks in the last decade, and the plays he comes up with are superb
During the 2010 and 2011 seasons, the Packers' offensive SRS ratings were above 10. These numbers are nothing short of impressive for the Packers. Moreover, the fact that he helped the Packers make the playoffs for eight straight seasons is a testament to his game-planning and ability to make his teams relevant.
He did it with Green Bay, and he can definitely do that with the Cowboys.
McCarthy can handle the stress of being America's coach
One doesn't simply become one of the best coaches in the country if he didn't have the disposition to be great. If there was one thing that plagued Garrett in his final season in charge, it didn't feel like he had a complete grasp of his locker room.
That won't be a case for McCarthy. He could not lead a team to the Super Bowl if he didn't have the attitude that comes with handling the egos of his players. He came across those during his time in Green Bay, so the young guns he'll be dealing with for the Cowboys should be no problem for him.
He should also be more comfortable in his skin than Garrett was. Throughout his final season, Garrett didn't look like a confident man. McCarthy should be able to handle the burden of having a strong owner without any problems.
More importantly, he has the disposition to help this team win.
