Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy will officially take over offensive play-calling duties, according to Tom Pelissero. The move marks a significant transition for the Cowboys' coaching structure as McCarthy assumes a more direct role in the team's offensive execution.
During a discussion regarding the state of the team's quarterback room, McCarthy also specifically highlighted his interest in Will Howard. "I’m really excited about Will Howard," McCarthy stated, per Tom Pelissero. The comment comes as the head coach begins to integrate his vision for the offense while evaluating the talent available at the position.
The decision for McCarthy to call plays follows an organizational evaluation of the team's offensive identity. By taking the reins of the playbook, McCarthy will have primary oversight of game planning and in-game adjustments moving forward. His public praise for Will Howard suggests the coach is closely monitoring the quarterback's development as part of his broader assessment of the position group under his new play-calling responsibilities.
