Jerry Jones has his guy, but was Mike McCarthy the right choice? Jared Dubin and Patrik Walker join me to break down the exhausting Cowboys hiring and firing process (despite the conventional wisdom that you need a coach with experience, here's what the stats actually say) and Jared has five ways McCarthy can make the Cowboys real contenders, plus much more.

Eight teams are left standing and the only two QBs among them who've got Super Bowl rings will face each other (UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE A JERK and point out Jimmy G's rings as a backup). I sized up the early odds for all four games, including a Texans-Chiefs line that's at 9.5 despite Houston's Week 6 win, and check out the Luck Bowl!

Tua Tagovailoa declared for the draft, but he's still months away from returning to the field after suffering a broken hip on Nov. 12, which leaves us wondering: How early will he go? Ryan Wilson broke down the top landing spots, including a Dolphins team once thought to be tanking for him, and some less obvious (but very interesting) possibilities.

Things are getting weird in New England. Not only are the Pats sitting at home for the divisional round, but Tom Brady is set to hit unrestricted free agency for the first time in his career. The question is: if Brady does leave, who'll play QB? Tyler Sullivan divided possible targets into tiers; maybe it'll be one of these two backups who played like starters.

With Jason Garrett finally, mercifully out in Dallas and Mike McCarthy in, there are three head coaching vacancies left out of five. So, which ones are the most desirable? Jonathan Jones ranked them, and while his No. 1 doesn't have the same cache it did even five years, ago, it's still better than, say, the team with the worst ownership this side of Dan Snyder.

The Cowboys have a Super Bowl winning coach, but that doesn't make it likely he'll win another in Dallas. In fact, no coach has won one with two different teams, but some have come close. Bryan DeArdo ranked the 12 Lombardi winning coaches who who went to new teams by how they fared in their next job; here's where the actual Vince Lombardi landed.
