I'm glad Mike gets another shot at it, although I was hoping he'd land in the AFC somewhere. He will now be a HC at two of the classic NFL franchises. Not many can claim that.

I will be interested to see how MM and JJ get along. It will also be interesting to see If Dak comes back to work with MM and how MM uses Zeke given his inconsistent history with the running game.

Good luck to him (except when it works against the Packers, of course). He'll need it.

I hear Dom Capers is still available as a coordinator...

Congrats to Mike McCarthy, but.....

If McCarthy arrives in Dallas with the same "we run my system" attitude he had in GB, rather than adapting to the players and play-makers they have, this could be a real conundrum.

If indeed McCarthy (as reported by ESPN) has been working together with "his coaching staff" during the 2019 season to learn and use analytics, then the Cowboys might have gotten a great coach.

Maybe watching LaFleur win with pretty much the same team he coached a year ago has awakened McCarthy.
Not many coaches get the opportunity to coach two legendary teams, we'll see next season how it works out for the Cowboys.
Good luck Mike.

It was just a matter of time before MM was offered a head coaching position - he brings a lot more to the interview table than many other candidates.

Apparently he spent a lot of time this past year prepping for this year's openings, studying game films, using advanced analytics and a host of other methods including regular meetings with some of his likely assistant coaches to fine tune his interview process.

How MM will coach with an active and demanding owner looking over his shoulder remains to be seen.

In GB Mike and all concerned did not have the pressures of an actual owner to report to - rather a reasonable and somewhat tolerant ( to an extendt) hierarchy and Board and President.

Dallas will be more demanding, no doubt, than Green Bay although MM surely too will be more demanding of his staff to get the best out of his team.

Always seemed to be a decent guy who had an overall winning record and a SB win in his resume, so not surprised he is a head coach again, just surprised at how quickly the change was announced and made in Dallas.

Congrats to Mr. McCarthy but I really wonder if that will prove to be a very good fit with Jones? I was really surprised with all the opportunities he had he chose Dallas, but the talent is there going forward!

I hope he does well. I think he has gained insight during the past year and will have success in Dallas.

I guess McCarthy was a top tier coaching candidate after all. Lucky for him he avoided messes like Cleveland, DC, and NY.

The biggest loser: Doug Peterson, who won’t have an automatic coaching advantage each time they play Dallas.

I’m very surprised he chose Dallas I don’t see a good fit I thought the Browns would be perfect for him.

He will definitely make Dallas better than Garrett did, but I don't think they win another SB anytime soon

let's just wait and see but i wish Mike McCarthy all the best

First off , Green bay's team this year is really different than the last one he coached. This team has solid pass rushers, better DBs, depth in the Oline, and improved RBs. (Jones was always good, but his dedication to the off-season seems to have pushed him to be a much better player.)
Second, we have seen that it wasn't just Rodgers winning the SB.
Third, Dallas has a pretty talented team at least on the offense side. The holes they have can be filled through FA and the draft.
Last, I heard last year that Jones liked MM and figured if Garrett didn't get it done, which he didn't, MM would be his coach.

It all means that the Cowboys won't be easy pickings when they play the Packers in future games.

Hope he crushes it. Except against the Packers.

Happy to see Coach Mike get another opportunity. He always represented the Packers well and I am forever grateful that he brought us another SB win.

Now, I hope he finds happiness in all that he does but he is now Head Coach of another team and a team I don’t like. Hopefully, they go 0-16 and miss the playoffs. Sorry but they are the competition, that is just the way it is.

The Cowboy's first offensive play in 2020 will be an A gap, inside hand-off to the halfback

MM landed the best open job in the league in my opinion. Will be interesting to see if MM changes with this few words as possible interviews unlike his new GM/Owner. If MM goes back to what he did with GB in the early years with schemes and such. You know JJ will give him everything MM wants if JJ thinks it will get him another ring.. Will just be interesting if they don't agree on that correct piece who will get the final say.
I can see it going either way on his success. This is first time coaching a QB that isn't a HOF though...

Dallas with instantly have better "fundamentals"

A kid from Pennsylvania grows up to become head coach of two of the most storied franchises in the NFL. Pretty damn impressive, Coach McCarthy. No wins against the Packers, but best of luck to him.

I think he is an upgrade over Garrett. I think MM will be reinvigorated from his firing. Even after all the years with the packers, I just don't know how well he can coach QBs, which is obviously critical to success in the nfl. I don't think he is good at recognizing talent and utilizing talent.

I can't say that I wish him success because I still hate the cowboys from the 70s.

This has "implosion" written all over it.

I doubt if McCarthy would take this job without making it clear that he is going to run the team his way. I also think Jerry has probably come to the point where he is going to let him. He's going to be 78 next year and he wants a championship bad. It has to have dawned on him that he needs someone besides himself to get one. Dallas is loaded with talent in desperate need of coaching. This could be the perfect set up for MM.

I’m happy for the Cowboys mostly because I think there isn’t a way in hell McCarthy can control that team. If he does more power to him. When I think McCarthy I think stale, soft, and an angry guy yelling at high school refs. I know the thumbs down are coming:) but this guy did all those things. They played soft, and got stale for the last few years as gb coach. His stubbornness didn’t just go away. He still has a whole bunch of unemployed coaches following him around that he’s loyal too. Good luck with that.

Good for Big Mike!

If the Packers don’t win the Super Bowl next year, I will root for McCarthy and the Cowboys winning it because that would almost assure him of being in the HOF and that would be another Packers coach in the HOF.

But of course when the Packers play the Boys we need to stomp they azz!!

Pad Level!

Just so he keeps an eye on "pad level".

I really thought McCarthy with his New York ties would go to there and be with the Giants!

After reading mostly complementary comments about MM, I started wondering, wasn't Mike supposed to be our fall guy for the past few years? So how is it he's going to help the Cowboys get better?

C'mon posters get with the program.

I am a big fan of Coach McCarthy, and I wish him the best.. but Dallas sounds like a horrible fit for MM.

It's also really hard for me to cheer for the Cowboys.. that aside.. working for Jerry Jones doesn't seem like good match for MM's straight shooter style, and his.. well, his being a decent human being factor.

As most of you know I was not a McCarthy fan. I am of the mind set that if Bill Parcels couldnt succeed with JJ as Gm, Big Mike doesnt stand a chance.

What comes out of zeke Elliott's mouth when MM stops practice to work on Zeke's pad level?

I Thank MM for for the success that he had here , but it should have been alot more SB appearances. Things became stale, they let him stay way too long just like Capers and Ted Thompson. Murphy was also on that watch, somehow he managed to stay put and has done some favorable things as of late. I don't wish anything bad on Mike himself, but as the coach now of Jerry Jones Cowgirls Circus, I will not be any type of supporter. Every time we play them I hope to completely destroy and dominate with The Real" AMERICA'S TEAM " GO MLF !!!!!!!!!!!

Garrett couldn’t beat MM in the playoffs and now he gets to watch Mike run his team. Garrett has to hate MM so much.

I would like to repeat Good For Mike - Mike also has a good chance here. I know that JJ tends to get into the way but also he likes to spend money. He does have a good to great QB, a good to great running back and a couple of good receivers ( but he needs to improve on that group a bit). He has at least hired a guy who should improve the Defence and allow MM to work on the offence his first year to two. I wouldnt be surprised if it is playoff bound in year one - all one needs to do is look at the division - he should quite easily beat out the NYG and the Skins - his only real competition will be the Eagles. At least now we dont need to do anything but watch.

Congrats and good for Mike McCarthy.

Dallas should feel very fortunate to land McCarthy. With the big egos and divas on the cowboys' roster, I have to think Mike will bring some humbleness and maturity to their team.

Best of luck to MM in Dallas but more heart felt wishes for success go out to LaFleur and the future of the Green Bay Packers!! Go! Pack! Go!

Just don't think McCarthy took enough time off. He will still run stale plays and he wont have Aaron Rodgers to lean on!!
