Mike McCarthy's tenure with the Dallas Cowboys came to an end in part because he couldn't agree to terms on a new contract, but it hadn't been clear until

ESPN's Todd Archer reported on Thursday that McCarthy was adamant about agreeing to a five-year contract extension with the team. However, owner Jerry Jones apparently was stuck on a three-year deal. Both sides couldn't agree on a deal, although the details of the contract the Cowboys offered McCarthy are unknown.

It’s been one heck of a week for Jerry Jones. The Cowboys’ owner had himself a day on Monday during Brian Schottenheimer’s introductory press conference when he began talking about “Schotty Shots” and noting that he got his hiring advice from Steve Spurrier — now he’s out here talking about glory holes for some reason.
