"After continuing through our end of season review process and having additional discussion, Kellen and the Cowboys reached a mutual decision to part ways," Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said in a news release. "I want to thank Kellen for his deep commitment, hard work and dedication that were a core part of his time with the Cowboys.

"The production of our offense and his mentorship of Dak Prescott were at the center of Kellen's impact, and we are grateful for his tenure and leadership. We wish Kellen and his wife, Julie, and their family the absolute best as they set out on the next chapter of their lives."

The Cowboys also announced that quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier will not return next season. Nussmeier joined the Cowboys staff in 2018 as a tight ends coach. He was named quarterbacks coach in 2020.
