During a weekly interview with 105.3 The Fan, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that he isn\u2019t ruling out the possibility of giving head coach Mike McCarthy a contract extension when this season ends.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s crazy at all,\u201d\u00a0Jones said. \u201cThat\u2019s not crazy. Listen, Mike McCarthy is an outstanding coach\u2026 This is a Super Bowl-winning coach. Mike McCarthy has been there and done that. He has great ideas. Bottom line is that no place in my body language or anything else have you seen indications about what we\u2019re going to be doing relative to this (coaching) staff at the end of this year. And we shouldn\u2019t. We got a lot of football left.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Since joining the Dallas Cowboys in 2020, Mike McCarthy has accumulated a record of 48-32, including three consecutive 12-win seasons. Unfortunately (or fortunately if you hate the Dallas Cowboys), McCarthy has a 1-3 record in the playoffs as the leader of the Cowboys with his lone win coming against the 8-9\u00a0Tampa Bay Buccaneers\u00a0in 2022.<\/p>\n Through 11 games this season, the Cowboys are 4-7 with wins over the Washington Commanders, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants.<\/p>\n There is no way of knowing how legitimate this proposal is. Jones may be trying to zig when everybody is expecting him to zag.<\/p>\n Since last season, talking heads and media personalities have said that Jones will let McCarthy\u2019s contract run out at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.<\/p>\n Jones could be so bitter and spiteful that he would give McCarthy a one-year contract extension just to stick it to the media. After all, this is the guy who hinted at having a pair of radio hosts fired just a month ago.<\/p>\n Either way, it would be unwise to bring back McCarthy on a new contract. This upcoming coaching cycle will have several exciting candidates.<\/p>\n Bill Belichick, Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn, Todd Monken, Kliff Kingsbury and Robert Saleh are just some of the people who will considered for head coaching gigs this offseason. It would be foolish to pass on any of those candidates for a guy who hasn\u2019t won a playoff game since Jan. 16th, 2023.<\/p>\n Mike McCarthy is a good coach. He has a win percentage of .610 with Dallas and turned around a broken Cowboys team after just one season.<\/p>\n With that being said, it feels like McCarthy has worn out his welcome in Dallas. The Cowboys need new blood if they want to actually win something meaningful this century. But with Jerry Jones still serving as the franchise\u2019s GM, that probably won\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n Realistically, Jones will let McCarthy\u2019s contract run out and then bring in a person who has previous head coaching experience.<\/p>\n Bill Belichick won\u2019t put up with Jones\u2019s ego, so Saleh, Kingsbury or somebody else will likely be the head coach of the Cowboys when the 2025 season starts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" During a weekly interview with 105.3 The Fan, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that he isn\u2019t ruling out the possibility of giving head coach Mike… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":13474,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"\nDallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said it\u2019s \u201cnot crazy\u201d to think Mike McCarthy could receive a contract extension.<\/h2>\n
