The Patriots struck gold with Mike Vrabel, who tops the ranking of NFL head coaching hires, while the Cowboys fell short with Brian Schottenheimer.

We thought we'd take a look back at all the coaches that have led "America's Team" into competition since that very first year of action in 1960.

McCarthy, whose contract expired with the Cowboys and wasn't signed to an extension, will sit out the 2025 season, according to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero. McCarthy removed his name from consideration for the New Orleans Saints' vacancy. The Saints are the last team to have a head coaching job open this offseason.

The Cowboys have tabbed Brian Schottenheimer as their 10th head coach in franchise history. How do the previous nine stack up? Here's how we ranked them.

Considered the front-runner for the job when Brian Schottenheimer was hired as Dallas Cowboys head coach, Matt Eberflus is now the team's defensive coordinator, the team announced Tuesday. Eberflus served as the head coach of the Chicago Bears for nearly three seasons before he was fired on Nov.

Matt Eberflus was fired less than 24 hours after a game-ending coaching blunder against the Lions on Thanksgiving.

The Dallas Cowboys bungled their extension talks with Mike McCarthy despite having an exclusive, week-long negotiating window with the veteran coach at the end of the season. McCarthy ended up leaving Dallas and the Cowboys scrambled to find a new head coach.
