For nearly a decade, the Dallas Cowboys toiled in mediocrity under head coach Jason Garrett. Since taking over the head coaching role in 2010 from Wade Phillips and ending his lengthy tenure following the 2019 regular season, the Cowboys went to the playoffs just three times, winning a total of two postseason games.
Last offseason, the Cowboys hired former Super Bowl winner Mike McCarthy to replace Garrett as the head coach of America’s Team. And Dallas proceeded to post a disappointing 6-10 record in McCarthy’s first season.
