The New Orleans Saints have a coaching vacancy and now that the Cowboys have moved on from Mike McCarthy, the former Dallas coach his the frontrunner.

This is a stunner -- the Dallas Cowboys have decided they won't reach a new deal with head coach Mike McCarthy before Tuesday's deadline, putting a big name on the market in the middle of this year's hiring cycle.

Mike McCarthy will not return as coach of the Dallas Cowboys, who are going on three decades since their last Super Bowl title, owner Jerry Jones said Monday. Jones said the organization and McCarthy mutually agreed to part ways.
