Mike McCarthy granted complete autonomy over Cowboys' coaching staff, claims NFL insider

Last week, all the conversations surrounding the Dallas Cowboys revolved around Jason Garrett, the man who had coached the Cowboys for nine years but seemingly had one foot out the exit door towards the tail end of the NFL season. This week, his replacement Mike McCarthy has taken over the spotlight in Dallas, Texas, filling the hole left by Jason Garrett's departure. The Cowboys were quick to finalise the deal to bring the former Green Bay Packers head coach to the AT&T Stadium. Now, an NFL reporter has offered some insight as to how the Cowboys were so quick to get Mike McCarthy on board.
