The search is on for the Dallas Cowboys and a new defensive coordinator. After Dan Quinn left for the Washington Commanders last week, the vacant position at Dallas has been a hot topic.
There is one hurdle when it comes to the new hire, Mike McCarthy’s contract. McCarthy is now in the final year of his contract with no discussion at present of his tenure being extended. That means whoever Dallas decides to hire this season for defensive coordinator would effectively be on a one-year contract. Jerry Jones was asked this very question and whether this would restrict the search, but he made comments to the Dallas Cowboys media team last week that would suggest that’s not a concern to him.
