Sleepover at Jerry's house? Cowboys owner hosts Mike McCarthy before hiring him

The big NFL news Monday morning was the Dallas Cowboys hiring Mike McCarthy to be their next head coach. But it’s what happened Saturday night that apparently sealed the deal.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reportedly ripped a page out of the Jim Harbaugh recruiting playbook by hosting McCarthy at his estate Saturday night.

New Cowboys’ HC Mike McCarthy stayed over Jerry Jones’ house on Saturday night, per source. “Once you stay at Jerrry’s house, he doesn’t lose his guy,” said source.
