Mike McCarthy

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones did not rule out a contract extension for head coach Mike McCarthy.

“I don’t think that’s crazy at all,” Jones said during a Tuesday radio interview when asked about McCarthy’s future in Dallas. “This is a Super Bowl-winning coach. Mike McCarthy has been there and done that. He has great ideas. We got a lot of football left.” McCarthy, who took over as the team’s head coach in 2020, posted three straight 12-win regular seasons before this year’s disappointing campaign. The Cowboys sit at 4-7 with Dak Prescott (hamstring) done for the season and the defense as bad as any in the NFL. Perhaps Jones is trying to keep up appearances in the final month of the regular season. McCarthy is likely done in Dallas unless the team wins most of its final six games.
