Mike McCarthy is not angry about how things ended with him and the Dallas Cowboys. While appearing on The Pat McAfee Show on Thursday, McCarthy explained why he’s not upset with the Cowboys letting him go after the 2024 season.
“Like a lot of things in life, you live and learn,” McCarthy said. “I think that carrying wasted negative energy is not something I really want to engage in at this point of my life. I’m very thankful for my 30-plus years in this league. Going back to the Kansas City Chiefs, Marty Schottenheimer, Pat Schottenheimer for that opportunity. New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers, and obviously the Dallas Cowboys.
“That’s not lost on me. It’s probably even more so because I’m in reflection now. When you are able to step away from it, your appreciation goes up even more. Yeah, I root for those guys. I’ve known Brian Schottenheimer since he’s been in high school.”
Mike McCarthy was successful as the head coach of the Cowboys and Packers
McCarthy was the Cowboys’ head coach from 2020 to 2024. In his five seasons in Dallas, McCarthy led the team to two NFC East titles and three playoff appearances. He was let go after the Cowboys finished with a 7-10 record in 2024.
