Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and head coach Mike McCarthy are actively engaged in discussions about their future together. With McCarthy’s contract set to expire on January 14, these ongoing conversations indicate a strong possibility of continued collaboration between the two.
Despite a challenging 2024 season that saw the Cowboys finish with a 7-10 record, McCarthy has expressed his desire to remain with the team. Jerry Jones, in turn, has acknowledged McCarthy’s leadership and experience, particularly his Super Bowl pedigree and the team’s three consecutive 12-win seasons from 2021 to 2023.
However, Jones has not yet made a definitive decision regarding McCarthy’s future, emphasizing the need to evaluate the necessary changes for the team’s progression. Still there is plenty of drama going on as there is no indication that Jerry will go one way or another.
