McCarthy to call plays for Cowboys

MOBILE, Ala. — Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy is set to call plays in 2023 after the club parted ways with offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.

Owner/general manager Jerry Jones said at the Senior Bowl on Wednesday that McCarthy will run a version of the West Coast offense he used when calling plays as head coach in Green Bay from 2006-18.

The Los Angeles Chargers hired Moore as offensive coordinator Monday, a day after the Cowboys announced Moore's departure. The Cowboys will hire a new offensive coordinator, but he will have less responsibility than Moore. Hall of Famer dies:

Bobby Beathard, the architect of four Super Bowl-winning teams during his Hall of Fame career has died at age 86. A cause of death was not immediately available.

Beathard was director of player personnel for two of Miami’s championships teams in the 1970s and served as general manager for two more by Washington in the ’80s.

Eagles backup charged with rape: Josh Sills, a backup offensive lineman for the NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles, has been indicted on rape and kidnapping charges that stem from an incident in Ohio just over three years ago, authorities said.

Sills, who appeared in just one game this season, was placed on the commissioner’s exempt list. That means he can’t practice, play or travel with the team as it prepares for the Super Bowl.

Rhule sues Panthers: Nebraska coach Matt Rhule has filed an arbitration suit with the NFL against Carolina seeking about $5 million in offset severance compensation, believing the Panthers still owe him that amount because of how his contract was structured. Rhule was fired as Panthers head coach on Oct. 10.
