DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - The Dallas Cowboys have made no official announcement regarding the future of Jason Garrett, but they seem to be laying the groundwork for his departure. Per a report from NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy is heading to Dallas to interview with the team.
Per a seperate report from NFL.com's Tom Pelissero, the Cowboys' search process, for now, is focused on candidates with previous head coaching experience.
McCarthy most recently spent 13 seasons as the head coach of the Green Bay Packers, where he, along with superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers, helped lead the Packers to a 125-77-2 regular-season record, and a Super Bowl XLV win in the 2010-11 season.
Like Garrett, McCarthy dominated his own division, with an overall record of 53-23 against the rest of the NFC North, and won the division six times.
Unlike Garrett, McCarthy also held a 10-8 postseason record and made the playoffs in nine of his 13 seasons as head coach, including eight straight appearances.
After a largely successful run with the franchise, the Packers elected to move on from McCarthy midway through the 2018 season, after the team got off to a 4-7-1 start.
He interviewed for various jobs during the following offseason, including the Jets, Browns and Cardinals. After declining the Browns job, the Jets elected to hire Adam Gase and the Cardinals chose Kliff Kingsbury.
Per another report from ESPN's Todd Archer, the Cowboys are also expected to interview former Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. Both interviews are expected to take place on Saturday.
Lewis spent 16 seasons as the head coach of the Bengals, going 131-122-3 during the regular season, winning four AFC North titles but went 0-7 in the playoffs. Lewis never coached the team past the Wild Card round.
Lewis was most recently employed as a special advisor under Herm Edwards at Arizona State.
There is still, as of this moment, no timetable on an announcement in regard to Jason Garrett.
