"Of course, McCarthy's real claim to fame is from his time with Green Bay from 2006-2018. In 12 full seasons, McCarthy's Packers won six division titles, had nine playoff appearances, and won the 2010 Super Bowl. It was those accolades that brought him to the Cowboys after the firing of Jason Garrett, with the hope that McCarthy would be the missing ingredient to get the team over the hump."
"What's more, during his time in Dallas, McCarthy went 9-1 against the Giants. The one loss came in the 2020 finale, with Dak Prescott on IR and the six-win Cowboys still somehow in contention in what was a putrid NFC East that year. New York's victory denied Dallas another division win and a playoff berth. But outside of that, McCarthy's Cowboys dominated the Giants throughout his tenure."
Mike McCarthy is reportedly among candidates being interviewed for the New York Giants' 2026 head-coach vacancy. He coached the Cowboys from 2020–2024 and was not retained after a 7–10 season following three straight 12–5 campaigns marked by playoff shortcomings. McCarthy was not employed by any other team last year. His most notable success came with the Green Bay Packers from 2006–2018, including six division titles, nine playoff appearances, and a 2010 Super Bowl victory. The Giants have cycled through multiple head coaches since Tom Coughlin's departure in 2015. McCarthy went 9–1 against New York while in Dallas. John Harbaugh is another reported candidate, making McCarthy a potential fallback option.
