The Dallas Cowboys head coach is set for the rest of the season.In Week 6, the Dallas Cowboys just lost at home to one of the most embarrassing teams in franchise history. As the Cowboys prepare for their bye week, a lot of questions need to be addressed after being thoroughly outplayed by the Lions in every area of the field.
Naturally, the coaching staff is the subject of the most urgent inquiries. Following a dismal 3-3 start that included three straight home losses, supporters and the media understandably began to speculate as to whether Mike McCarthy was under fire.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones put an end to these rumors in his Tuesday appearance on 105.3 The Fan, per The Athletic’s Jon Machota. When asked about an in-season coaching change, Jones bluntly said that wasn’t happening.
At first glance, this may sound surprising. McCarthy is in the final year of his contract after the Cowboys didn’t give him a contract extension in the offseason. His job security was already questionable after flaming out in the postseason for three straight years. This was considered to be a “prove it” year for McCarthy and it’s clear that he hasn’t been able to do that.
Then why not fire him and give yourself a chance to save this season?
For anyone who has been following the Cowboys and Jerry Jones, the answer is clear. They don’t want to spend the money. They would rather let McCarthy’s contract expire and hire their next head coach in the 2025 offseason.
What happens if, in the meanwhile, the Cowboys fail miserably? Well, Jerry Jones has repeatedly demonstrated his lack of interest in that.
