Welcome to the first edition of Tidbit Tuesday for 2020. Did you know the Dallas Cowboys have only had 8 coaches since 1960. The storied franchise hired mike McCarthy today to replace Jason Garrett after letting his contract expire.
McCarthy becomes just the Cowboys ninth coach. Impressive we you consider they are one of the NFL's oldest franchises. Tom Landry was their first coach and most famous by far. He coached the team from 1960 until 1988, when Jimmy Johnson took over. Johnson lasted 5 seasons. Since 1993 the Cowboys have had 6 coaches, not including McCarthy. Garrett was the second longest tenured coach for the Cowboys behind Landry.
I didn’t know that. It is pretty impressive. Who else has had the least amount of coaches? Excluding the Steelers. Everyone knows they only had 3.
