2023 Dallas Cowboys coaching tracker: Updates, rumors, and news about Mike McCarthy’s staff

The Dallas Cowboys are beginning yet another offseason without a Super Bowl parade and the goal is obviously to rectify that wrong.

Last season was successful for the Cowboys in a number of ways, but as noted there is a loftier goal that everybody wants to see the franchise achieve. Obviously the organization itself wants to see that as well and they are making some changes that they believe will narrow the gap.

Following the playoff loss in the Divisional Round, a number of coaching changes about Mike McCarthy’s staff began to be reported. It appears that Mike McCarthy himself is safe, but in addition to several of his staffers not returning, his offensive and defensive coordinators are both a part of this year’s head coaching interview cycle.

In an effort to stay organized we have put together a tracker to keep you updated on everything you need to know about the staff.
