This is not the first time McCarthy has opted to take a breather from the coaching world after departing from a team. After he was fired by the Packers during the 2018 season, McCarthy didn’t return to the sidelines until 2020 with Dallas.
He spent five seasons as the Cowboys head coach, accumulating a 49-35 record with the team and leading it to three postseason appearances, though Dallas never advanced beyond the Divisional Round. Between his time in Green Bay and Dallas, McCarthy led his teams to 12 postseason trips in 18 seasons at the helm, including winning Super Bowl XLV with the Packers.
His résumé should make McCarthy a strong candidate in next offseason’s hiring cycle, though that’s still a long way away. For now, the 2025 NFL season will go forth without McCarthy as a participant.
Former Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has announced that he will not be coaching this upcoming season, choosing instead to focus on preparing for the 2026 hiring cycle. After being let go by the Cowboys earlier this year, McCarthy has decided to take a step back from coaching in order to evaluate his options and plan for his next coaching opportunity.
McCarthy’s decision comes as a surprise to many, as he is a highly respected coach with a successful track record in the NFL. However, he believes that taking some time off from coaching will allow him to recharge and come back even stronger for the next hiring cycle.
While McCarthy will not be on the sidelines this season, he remains committed to the game of football and is eager to get back into coaching when the time is right. In the meantime, he will be keeping a close eye on the league and preparing for his next opportunity to lead a team to success.
Fans and colleagues alike are eager to see what the future holds for Mike McCarthy and are excited to see where his coaching career will take him next.
