The deal between Mike McCarthy and Jerry Jones fell through since the owner wanted Jason Witten as the heir apparent.

After ending his tenure as head coach of Jerry Jones' Dallas Cowboys, Mike McCarthy is ready to interview with an NFL team interested in hiring him.

For most of the season, it was assumed that the Cowboys would be looking for a new coach. Late in the year, owner and G.M. Jerry Jones seemed to be warming up to the idea of keeping Mike McCarthy around.
