After parting ways with the Dallas Cowboys, Mike McCarthy has chosen to take a break for the upcoming season.
According to NFL Network insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, McCarthy has decided that he will not coach in the NFL in the 2025 season. He instead will focus on the 2026 hiring cycle.
In the wake of his departure from Dallas due to failed contract negotiations, McCarthy interview with the Chicago Bears for their head coach opening, before Chicago ultimately went with Ben Johnson.
He also received a request to interview with the saints for their HC position, but did not complete a visit before his decision to withdraw. Now New Orleans will continue to look elsewhere as the last team with a head coach opening.
This is not the first time McCarthy has opted to take a breather from the coaching world after departing from a team. After he was fired by the Packers during the 2018 season, McCarthy didn’t return to the sidelines until 2020 with Dallas.
He spent five seasons as the Cowboys head coach, accumulating a 49-35 record with the team and leading it to three postseason appearances, though Dallas never advanced beyond the Division Round.
Between his time in Green Bay and Dallas, McCarthy led his teams to 12 postseason trips in 18 seasons at the helm, including winning Super Bowl XLV with the Packers.
His resume will likely make McCarthy as strong candidate in next offseason’s hiring cyle, though that is still a long way to go.
Wisconsin is looking into a former women’s basketball player’s allegations that she was mistreated by coach Marisa Moseley and her staff, the school said Monday.
Ball State center Tessa Towers, who played for Wisconsin from 2022-24, alleged in a TikTok post over the weekend that her freshman year was “completely ruined.”
“My freshman year of college, I felt like a lab rat for my coaches and staff because they would put me on new medications every other week,” Towers wrote in captions over photos of her in a Wisconsin uniform. “I was 17 years old.”
Moseley is 44-68 in four seasons at Wisconsin, which hasn’t finished a season above .500 since 2010-11.
Without mentioning Moseley by name, Towers said her former coach “made me sign a release form for her to access my therapy sessions, or I’d be kicked off the team.” Towers also alleged that the coach and staff forced her to get tested for autism and added that “my coach gave me a choice between admitting myself to a mental hospital or getting kicked off the team.”
Towers also indicated she was kicked out of practice after a teammate initiated an argument with her and that she was excluded from team trips, including one to the Virgin Islands, “for no good reason.” She said she would leave her coach’s office “bawling my eyes out every time.”
Towers appeared in three games for Wisconsin in 2022-23. The school announced in December 2022 she was taking a leave of absence to focus on a personal matter.
Towers played one game for Wisconsin in 2023-24 before announcing last March that she was entering the transfer portal. She has appeared in 12 games for Ball State this season and is averaging 3.1 points and 1.8 rebounds.
Moseley came to Wisconsin after going 45-29 in three seasons at Boston University. Before that, she was an assistant on five of coach Geno Auriemma’s national title-winning teams at UConn.
The Badgers are 10-10 overall and 1-8 in the Big Ten this season, and they’ve lost their last eight games.
