The position of Mike McCarthy as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys has been under immense threat since the end of last season. The Cowboys lost to the 49ers in a disappointing manner in their lone playoff game last season. As a result, there were talks around the franchise about McCarthy getting replaced.

As of now, his position is secure. However, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal once wanted Jerry Jones to replace McCarthy with one of the franchise legends. Shaq wanted Deion Sanders to take over as head coach of the Cowboys.
