McCarthy stayed over at the Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones' house on Saturday night, according to reports. "Once you stay at Jerry's house, he doesn't lose his guy," a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

McCarthy has been a top head coach target since he was fired from Green Bay in the middle of the 2018 season. He interviewed for the New York Jets' vacancy in the 2018 off-season and also turned down meetings with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Arizona Cardinals.

The former Packers' coach met with the Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns and New York Giants regarding their recent coaching vacancies, before interviewing with Dallas over the weekend.
