INDIANAPOLIS — Mike McCarthy is having fun again. The desire to call offensive plays and run an offense where the running game mirrors the passing attack for efficiency is now McCarthy’s responsibility.
The Cowboys head coach was relaxed in two sessions with reporters Wednesday afternoon from the NFL scouting combine, where he discussed his decision to take over the offense.
“Yeah, this is the most fun I’ve had since I’ve been in Dallas,” McCarthy said. “I mean, just to be in the meeting room again with the coaches full-time. We’ve been just going 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and break. Then you’ve been talking nothing but scheme. I haven’t had that. So that part’s different. But then all these great responsibilities here that you have to keep doing, so just got to delegate more. We have a good plan. I think doing this in Year 4 is totally different than it would’ve been doing it in Year 1, especially coming in with the pandemic and everything that we had in Year 1.”
