Source: Mike McCarthy not planning to coach in NFL this year – ESPN You can phrase it however you want, but no interest from any NFL team means Mike McCarthy will have to wait a year before trying to get back into coaching. Mike McCarthy, the former Dallas Cowboys coach who was in the running for the New Orleans Saints job, is no longer planning to coach this year, and Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore has emerged as the favorite for the position, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Tuesday night. McCarthy will focus on the 2026 hiring cycle instead, a source said. He had been scheduled to interview with the Saints this week. Moore, Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver and New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka all have already had second interviews with the team. McCarthy had a 49-35 record in his five seasons as coach of Dallas. His contract expired after the season, and the sides mutually agreed to head in different directions. He had interviewed for the Chicago Bears head-coaching job before they hired Ben Johnson last week. The Saints are the last NFL team with a current head-coach opening. Nick Sorensen named special teams coordinator – Nick Eatman, DallasCowboys.com Brian Schottenheimer is filling out his staff. One day after being named head coach, Brian Schottenheimer can turn his attention to the coaching staff. Getting his coordinators in place is a top priority as he has now hired two of them on Tuesday. Nick Sorensen has officially been named special teams coordinator, a position he held in Jacksonville in 2021. Earlier in the day, Schottenheimer hired Matt Eberflus as the defensive coordinator. Most recently, Sorensen spent the last three seasons with the 49ers, including last year as the defensive coordinator. Sorensen, a 10-year veteran as a player from 2001-10, has plenty of playing experience on special teams. As a coach, he was an assistant on the Seahawks’ staff in 2013-16. Sorensen has been on staff with Schottenheimer before, both serving on the Jaguars staff in 2021. Who is Nick Sorensen? 5 things to know about Cowboys’ special teams coordinator – Staff DMN A little more on new special teams coordinator Nick Sorensen Sorensen and Schottenheimer have teamed up in the past. The coaches previously worked together in Seattle and Jacksonville. Sorensen was the Seahawks’ secondary coach from 2017-20, while Schottenheimer served as the team’s offensive coordinator from 2018-20. Sorensen and Schottenheimer also worked together on Urban Meyer’s Jaguars staff in 2021. Sorensen was the team’s special teams coordinator, while Schottenheimer was the passing game coordinator. […] Before entering the coaching ranks, Sorensen played in the NFL for 10 years. The Virginia Tech product was a defensive back, but he made his biggest impact on special teams. Sorensen played for three teams throughout his professional career, appearing in 131 games. After spending two years in St. Louis, he enjoyed a four-year stint with the Jaguars. He was a special teams captain in Jacksonville before moving on to the Cleveland Browns. […] Sorensen was on Pete Carroll’s staff when the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. He was an assistant special teams coach during the team’s championship run, holding that position from 2013-15. The Seahawks dominated their Super Bowl matchup against Denver from start to finish, being boosted by an 87-yard kickoff return touchdown from Percy Harvin. 2025 Super Bowl: Cowboys looking at Eagles’ and Chiefs’ roster-building methods as they evaluate approach – Garrett Podell, CBS Sports Is this the year Jerry Jones changes his methods? For the second time in three seasons, the Dallas Cowboys are sitting on the couch while the Philadelphia Eagles, one of their NFC East division rivals, prepare to play in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. The last time this happened in the 2022 season, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones mistakenly labeled the Eagles’ approach to free agency and roster building as ”putting it all out there and paying for it later.” The Eagles have used their approach of being aggressive in both free agency and re-signing their own, top drafted players to early extensions to win NFC titles in both 2022 and 2024. Now, Jerry Jones and his son, Cowboys COO and EVP Stephen Jones, admitted they’re at least open to evaluating their approach and potentially making changes when they spoke at new head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s introductory press conference Monday. Dallas went 7-10 in 2024 — following three consecutive 12-5 seasons from 2021 to 2023 — after spending an NFL-low $20.47 million in free agency, per OverTheCap.com, since the last Super Bowl was played. It almost exclusively relied on its own draft picks to provide immediate impacts, including rookies, and that didn’t work out. That was Jerry Jones’ ”get it done with less” approach. “We’re obviously evaluating where it didn’t go right in terms of this drought that people say we’re in in terms of a championship game or a Super Bowl. We just have to continue to make this roster better,” Stephen Jones said Monday. “Certainly we’ll do a real deep dive on putting some personnel together whether it be through the draft, free agency. I know typically that’s not been the way we’ve done this team, but we’ll certainly look at it. … We’re going to take a long hard look at how we’ve looked at free agency. And if we need to change some things there, we will.”

The Dallas Cowboys introduced Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach in a press conference on Monday and his predecessor was brought up a few times. Mike McCarthy left the Cowboys on some, um, interesting terms, and since he has he has been on the look for a new gig. It was reported on Tuesday night that he will have to wait until at least 2026. Mike McCarthy is apparently taking the 2025 season off, according to NFL Network. Former #Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy has decided to focus on the 2026 hiring cycle and will not coach in the NFL this season, sources tell me and @RapSheet. McCarthy, who has made the playoffs 12 times in 18 seasons, is expected to be a strong candidate a year from now. pic.twitter.com/Vr8mMijIkq — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) January 29, 2025 McCarthy interviewed for the Chicago Bears job that ultimately went to Ben Johnson. He also was in discussions with the New Orleans Saints, who have also interviewed former Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, and they were the last team left needing a coach after Dallas hired Schottenheimer. It appears either McCarthy felt the Saints job wasn’t going to be his or wasn’t worth his time. You will recall that McCarthy sat out the 2019 season after his previous team in the Green Bay Packers fired him before the 2018 campaign was over. That led to his famous project where he put together a plan for what he would do differently with a new team that ultimately became the Cowboys in 2020.

Photo by Chris Coduto/Getty Images Tetairoa McMillan has a lot of fans this draft cycle. We continue our 2025 NFL Draft preview of draft prospects that could interest the Dallas Cowboys. Today we are looking at wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan from Arizona. Tetairoa McMillan WRArizona WildcatsJunior4-star recruit 6’5”212 lbs History Tetairoa McMillan, born on April 5th, 2003 in Waimānalo, Hawaii, moved to Southern California at age 12 and attended Servite High School in Anaheim. During his high school career, McMillan was a standout, achieving 179 receptions for 2,640 yards and 34 touchdowns. He was a finalist for the Gatorade Football Player of the Year and won the Polynesian Football Player of the Year Award in 2021. Initially committed to the University of Oregon, he changed his commitment to Arizona, where he became the highest-rated recruit in the school’s history. At Arizona, McMillan made an immediate impact, leading all true freshmen nationally with 702 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in his freshman year. His sophomore season in 2023 saw him catch 90 passes for 1,402 yards and ten touchdowns, placing him fifth in the nation for receiving yards. He was also named a third-team AP All-American that year. In 2024, he continued his exceptional performance, surpassing school records with 1,319 receiving yards on 84 catches, earning First-Team All-American honors. McMillan’s junior season was particularly notable where he broke the school record for receiving yards in a game with 304 yards against New Mexico, tying the single-game touchdown record with four scores. He was the first player in FBS history to achieve 10+ receptions, 300+ receiving yards, 30.0+ yards per reception, and 4+ receiving touchdowns in a single game. McMillan left Arizona with an impressive college career of 213 receptions, 3,423 receiving yards, and 26 touchdowns, making him the all-time leading receiver in Wildcats program history for yardage.

Has excellent hands, with a low drop rate throughout his college career. His ability to catch in traffic and make contested catches is elite. Shows very good footwork for short and intermediate routes, showing the ability to create separation. His combination of size and speed allows him to break tackles and turn short catches into significant gains. He’s capable of stretching the field vertically with very long strides, having shown he can track the ball well on deep routes. A very capable run blocker.

He could benefit from crisper routes, especially at the top of his breaks. His size sometimes compensates for this at the college level but might be more exposed in the pros. Against NFL defenses, creating consistent separation could be a challenge given his speed and route break concerns. His physical style of play might lead to early wear and tear. TAPE TIME WR Tetairoa McMillan Arizona ❌THE BAD❌#scouting #NFLDraft #Arizona #DallasCowboys pic.twitter.com/RsOK2SC6vY — Mike Poland (@kenfigkowboy) January 27, 2025 THE FIT Tetairoa McMillan is best suited for teams with an offensive scheme that utilizes size on the outside for jump balls, contested catches, and red-zone targets. His blocking ability also makes him a good fit in offenses that value receiver participation in the run game. Likely an early Day 1 prospect, his combination of size and physical play style makes him a high-upside prospect, particularly for teams looking for a big-bodied receiver, X-type receiver who can be a go-to target. His need to work on his route running is crucial especially at the top of his breaks. Speed is also something else that needs to be worked on and any team drafting him will need to manage his snap count based on his aggressive play style. McMillan’s college career has shown he can be the focal point of any offense, and with some refinement in his route running and separation skills, he has the potential to be a top-tier NFL wide receiver within a few years of joining the league.

Photo by Ed Zurga/Getty Images As many believed… Deion Sanders was never a serious candidate for the Cowboys job. The Dallas Cowboys have decided on Brian Schottenheimer to be their new head coach. However, there was no name associated with the vacant head coaching position in Dallas that generated more buzz than NFL Hall of Famer and current Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders. It even had gotten to a point where Sanders was the betting favorite to land the job. This made sense because of the spotlight that Sanders brings and his ties to the Cowboys as a former player for the organization. With that being said, how serious was Dallas about bringing Sanders in to replace Mike McCarthy? Well, when team owner Jerry Jones was asked about it during Schottenheimer’s introductory press conference on Monday, his answer was pretty telling. When asked about their conversation, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Deion Sanders already has a job — Jon Machota (@jonmachota) January 27, 2025 When analyzing the situation from all angles, this isn’t that surprising. Sanders has proven to be a guy who can turn programs around with what he did at Jackson State and now with Colorado as they have reached the national spotlight since his arrival. On top of that, Sanders has said in the past that he doesn’t think that he has desire to coach in the NFL because he’s too old school, and that he can’t put up with grown men not doing their jobs and getting paid. Now, of course, Jones made a call to Sanders about the coaching situation. However, earlier this month, Sanders made it clear that Colorado is where he wants to stay. To hear from Jerry Jones is truly delightful, and it’s intriguing. I love Jerry and believe in Jerry. After you hang up and process it, and think about it, it’s intriguing. But I love Boulder and everything there is about our team, the coaches, our student body and the community. Sanders also put the NFL rumors to bed back in November. I’m happy where I am, man. I’ve got a kickstand down. You know what a kickstand is? … That means I’m resting. I’m good, I’m happy, I’m excited. I’m enthusiastic about where I am. I love it here, truly do. So, there’s that from the perspective of Sanders. I’m terms of Jerry and Stephen, everyone knows how the Cowboys operate, and that’s by being extremely tight with the salary cap to the point that it’s their security blanket for not going after prized free agents. That right there could cancel out a guy like Sanders. For all the glitz and glamor that comes with Sanders, which fits right in with the Cowboys and their exposure, he’s a football guy first. Sanders wants to win, and the Cowboys way of roster-building might not be to his liking. Plus, Jerry and Stephen would have to concede some power and let Sanders run the show like he does in Colorado. In Dallas, that’s simply not happening. The front office in Dallas is stuck in their own ways with no signs of changing. Reaching out to Sanders was a typical Jones family thing to do. It creates the headlines, and by some reports was intended to give Sanders leverage in negotiations with Colorado. The Sanders thing was cool to talk about for a day or two, but it was just smoke and mirrors at the end of the day.

Photo by Mike Mulholland/Getty Images The former Cowboys coach returns with a familiar scheme As had been expected for several days, the Cowboys named Matt Eberflus as their new defensive coordinator, moving on from Mike Zimmer after one season. Eberflus coached the Cowboys linebackers for seven seasons, spending the last two with the added title of pass game coordinator. The Cowboys have hired Matt Eberflus as their defensive coordinator, per a source. Officially in the fold. — Todd Archer (@toddarcher) January 28, 2025 Eberflus originally came to Dallas to follow Rob Ryan, under whom he had coached in Cleveland, but was retained when Monte Kiffin and Rod Marinelli took over the defense from Ryan. Eberflus quickly became a disciple of the legendary Tampa 2 defense, which he fully implemented as the Colts defensive coordinator when he departed Dallas following the 2017 season. Four successful seasons running the Colts defense helped Eberflus land the head coaching gig for the Bears. That kicked off a trying tenure that saw plenty of struggles, both on and off the field, for the team. Eberflus was fired shortly after a Thanksgiving loss to Detroit this past season, a game that saw him opt not to call a timeout in a critical end-of-game moment. It was the first time in the Bears’ 104-year history they had fired a coach midseason; Eberflus finished with a 14-32 record. Don’t let that discourage you from this hire, though. Eberflus may not have worked out as a head coach, but his defensive prowess has not disappeared. While Eberflus initially did not call the plays on defense in Chicago, he took over after two weeks in the 2023 season. Once Eberflus resumed calling plays, his defense flourished: they finished that year ninth in EPA/play, 13th in success rate, and sixth in EPA/rush. Eberflus remained the play-caller in 2024 (until his firing, that is) and the Bears were ninth in EPA/play, 10th in success rate, and seventh in EPA/dropback under his watch. It seems that coordinator is where Eberflus is most suited, but what’s the method behind his madness? With nearly six full seasons calling plays, Eberflus’ scheme is pretty clear by now, and there are some signature tenets of his defensive philosophy. It starts with HITS Throughout his coaching tenure, Eberflus has retained one simple mantra: HITS. The acronym stands for Hustle, Intensity, Takeaways, and Smart. The HITS principle is the fundamental lynchpin of the Eberflus defense. Hustle and intensity basically go hand-in-hand. Eberflus uses the same loaf system that Marinelli utilized in Dallas (and in other stops), which essentially amounts to tracking how often a player is being lazy during a play. Eberflus often points to the final three seconds of any given play, tracking “an acceleration to and through” the play. As for takeaways, Eberflus has frequently stressed the importance of them. In his four seasons in Indianapolis, the Colts defense finished Top 10 in takeaways all but one year. The Bears accomplished that feat each of the last two years as well. Eberflus stresses tip drill fundamentals and ball stripping techniques often in practices to encourage this. The final tenet – smart – ultimately comes down to discipline. His Colts defenses finished each season with fewer penalties than the year before, and his Bears defenses finished in the top five in fewest penalties two of his three season; they had the fewest of any defense last year. Execution over creativity Recent years in the NFL has seen a proliferation of defensive coordinators who throw out a ton of chaotic concepts, including each of the Cowboys’ last two coaches on that side of the ball. Eberflus, by stark contrast, is not much of a mad scientist with his scheme. The S in HITS could just as easily stand for simplicity, because an Eberflus defense is not one that is going to confuse quarterbacks before or after the snap. While he showed some willingness to deviate in his final year in Chicago, Eberflus is generally pretty vanilla with his defensive concepts. This is intentional, though, as Eberflus prefers to keep things simple for his defense and instead put all the emphasis on playing fast and explosive. He doesn’t want his players thinking too much about what coverage they’re supposed to switch to or how to shift their front based on the offensive alignments, but instead to have just one assignment and go complete their task. That will mark a drastic departure from Zimmer’s scheme, which is notoriously complex but is a nightmare for opposing offenses when it’s properly understood by the defenders. With Eberflus, the Cowboys defenders shouldn’t have much trouble picking up the playbook. Instead, Eberflus will focus more on making sure his players contribute maximum effort on the field. Two core positions For those who remember the Marinelli days in Dallas, Eberflus has some similar personnel requirements when it comes to his roster. He doesn’t necessarily require big bodies in the trenches or insane height in the secondary, but there are two positions of severe importance in this scheme. The first is the 3-technique defensive tackle, which is described as the engine that makes this defense run. Eberflus demands an athletic 3-technique that can disrupt the mesh point, and he builds his entire front around this player. Osa Odighizuwa is an ideal fit for what Eberflus needs here, but the defensive tackle’s rookie deal is set to expire this offseason. Eberflus is likely to push for Odighizwuwa’s extension, but it’s unclear what might happen there. The linebacker spots are also crucial to the scheme. Eberflus, unlike Zimmer, uses nickel packages at an extremely high rate. As such, he really only needs a MIKE and WILL linebacker. There are two main traits he looks for in his linebackers, regardless of spot: size and range. His linebacker duo’s in Indianapolis (Shaq Leonard and Bobby Okereke) and Chicago (Tremaine Edmunds and TJ Edwards) all measure at least 6’2” and right around the 240 pound range. The MIKE spot requires someone

Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images Troy Aikman has offered his endorsement for Brian Schottenheimer. The Dallas Cowboys have finally put their head coaching search to an end on Friday evening by announcing Brian Schottenheimer. Despite the rumors of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, and even former Cowboys great Jason Witten being the next guy, it came down to Schottenheimer and Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who coveted the job as well. The official introductory press conference for Schottenheimer was on Monday. However, Hall of Famer and former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman gave his thoughts on Schottenheimer taking over as head coach before he was hired. Well, I like him a lot. I’m familiar with Brian, of course, we go back a little bit, back when he was coaching for his father. He was on the staff with the Chargers, with Hudson Houck. And I had some conversations with him, many years ago, about some offensive philosophy and things of that nature. And, you know, he goes to Seattle. He was the offensive coordinator there. I thought a lot of him when he was with the Seahawks. And then, of course, with Dallas, his role has been a little bit different. But I like him a lot. Heck of a guy. Been around coaching, of course, his entire life, with his father, Marty. And beyond that, I don’t know that a lot of people know a lot about him. In the last couple of days is when I heard his name being mentioned. That’s probably like most people, and he’s kind of emerged as the dark horse. Schottenheimer was with the Seattle Seahawks for three seasons (2018-2020). They finished 18th and 17th overall offensively in his first and third seasons there, but he did get them to as high as eighth in total offense in 2019. Former Seahawks and current Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson had two of his top three seasons in terms of passing yards and his top two seasons when it came to passing touchdowns in Schottenheimer’s offense. Over the past three years, Schottenheimer has been with the Cowboys organization. He was a coaching analyst the first year, and the last two he spent as the offensive coordinator, by title if anything since former head coach Mike McCarthy was calling the plays. That has also allowed Schottenheimer to be around quarterback Dak Prescott a lot, and he’s on record saying that he likes the creativity Schottenheimer could bring to Cowboys offense. Schottenheimer has been in positions of power before, so to speak. Being the head coach of an organization is an entirely different animal, and then when factoring in having to deal with Jerry and Stephen Jones, Schottenheimer will have a lot to overcome. Things that are working in his favor are his energy, which can be infectious, and the possibility of moving away from the generic scheme of McCarthy to more of an offense that will be more innovative. One thing is for certain, Schottenheimer’s time as Cowboys head coach will be interesting.

Photo by Brooke Sutton/Getty Images The Cowboys have a big decision to make in April’s draft. On Friday evening, the Dallas Cowboys announced that Brian Schottenheimer would be their new head coach. While many people are apprehensive about the team’s decision to hire him, it’s really hard to know what kind of coach they’re getting. A career assistant, he’s never been given this type of control before. Only time will tell if he’s the right guy for the job. While we’ll have to wait for actual football to be played before we learn what he has to offer, we might not have to wait that long to get an idea of how he’ll try to improve the Cowboys’ offense. Will he put a greater emphasis on strengthening the ground attack to give Dak Prescott some help or will he look to add more weapons in the passing game? The Cowboys could answer that question by how they use the 12th overall pick. The case for Ashton Jeanty It’s no secret that one of the Cowboys’ biggest weaknesses this past season was running the football. They averaged just four yards per rushing attempt this season, the third-worst in the NFL. The team’s biggest rushing weapon was undrafted free agent Rico Dowdle, who had a career-best 1,079 yards despite having a limited workload during the first half of the season. Ezekiel Elliott was the team’s RB2, but he was very inefficient. He ran the ball 74 times for 226 yards for a career-low 3.1 yards per carry. Deuce Vaughn had 17 rushes for 70 yards, and for a couple of games Dalvin Cook was a thing, but he only had eight carries for just 20 yards. Suffice it to say, the Cowboys running back arsenal left something to be desired. Taking the best college back would certainly bolster their rushing attack, and Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty is this year’s top dog. This past season, Jeanty had gaudy numbers running the ball 374 times for 2,601 yards. That’s an impressive seven yards per carry. He scored a remarkable 30 touchdowns. Schottenheimer was successful running the ball during his time with the New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks. Jeanty has great vision if Schotty employs a gap-scheme rushing attack as he did with the Jets. He does a good job finding the holes and has an excellent drive from those powerful legs to plow through defenders. But the icing on the cake will be when Schottenheimer works in wide zone, allowing Jeanty to get around on the outside and use his sharp change of direction to cut upfield and go wild in space. A running game can be a quarterback’s best friend. Remember in 2014 when Tony Romo had his best season despite throwing for just 247 yards per game? He was aided by one of the league’s top rushing attacks led by DeMarco Murray. Dak Prescott also had things easy with prime Zeke. Drafting a player like Jeanty would help give the Cowboys’ offense a balanced attack. Ashton Jeanty is so talented that he even makes some of the “don’t draft RBs early” crowd rethink their stance. I’d have no problem cheering him on if the #Cowboys decide to pick him.pic.twitter.com/Xgovgy5Q0B — Dominic White (@DomWWhite) January 12, 2025 The case for Luther Burden III While nobody will complain about having a talent like Jeanty on the team, the 12th overall pick is a high price for a running back. There are still plenty of other running backs in the draft that can help the Cowboys’ rushing attack. The same is not true for wide receivers. The 12th overall pick is a great chance to land one of the few elite talents in the draft. There was a time when the Cowboys featured a deadly air attack, but that was when they had both CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper. Since Cooper’s departure, the passing game hasn’t been the same. They’ve tried to find a quality WR2 with Michael Gallup or Brandin Cooks, but it’s just not the same and at times, outright terrible. Most of the time it’s been CeeDee Lamb and nobody else. The Cowboys have a golden opportunity to rectify that in April by taking one college’s best receivers. For the sake of this argument, it doesn’t have to be Missouri’s elusive yard-after-catch receiver, Luther Burden III. It might be the big physical ball tracker of Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan or Ohio State’s route-running specialist Emeka Egbuka. Regardless of who’s your favorite, the Cowboys should have a receiving stud to choose from with pick 12. Prescott is the team’s $60 million per year investment and they should do their best to maximize their investment. The Cowboys have tried to cut corners in the past causing them to rely on players like Tavon Austin, Allen Hurns, and Noah Brown. Those instances failed miserably forcing them to make trades for better players. The Cowboys don’t get draft capital like this very often, so this is a perfect time to make the most of it. Schottenheimer called plays for the Seattle Seahawks in 2020 when they scored a franchise-best 459 points when he had two 1,000-yard receivers in Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf. Why not give him a couple of receiving stars in Dallas and see what he can do? As exciting as it would be to see Ashton Jeanty running the ball for the Cowboys, it would be even more exhilarating watching defenses struggle to figure out how to stop CeeDee Lamb and Luther Burden III.pic.twitter.com/ii9lsKeEF1 — Dan Rogers (@DannyPhantom24) January 26, 2025
