Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has once again expressed his unwavering support for head coach Mike McCarthy, despite the poor season and failure to make the playoffs.

Amid speculation about McCarthy’s future, Jones supports his coach and expresses confidence in the team’s current leadership and trajectory.

“I can’t express how proud I am of the way the coaching staff, led by Mike McCarthy, makes me think we have an exceptional future ahead of us,” Jones said.

McCarthy is currently in the final year of his contract, which has led to much speculation about his possible departure.

In particular, he has recruited agent Don Yee, known for having in his portfolio several high-profile NFL coaches, which has fueled speculation about his intentions.

Despite these uncertainties and having secured a losing record, some key players, including quarterback Dak Prescott, have publicly backed McCarthy.

Prescott advocated for a contract extension for his coach by stating: “I believe in him wholeheartedly. I think he definitely deserves a chance.”

The Cowboys season has been marred by significant injuries, particularly Prescott’s hamstring injury in Week 9, which has proven to be a major obstacle to the team’s performance.

However, under McCarthy’s stewardship, the team managed a 26-24 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and won four of its last five games, proving that there is plenty of quality throughout the team as well as fighting spirit.

Jones’ words and support for McCarthy

Jones’ recent comments suggest a commitment to continuity, focusing on the development of young players and the current way of working, despite many believing it is time to make major changes with next year in mind.

While McCarthy’s contract is about to expire, support from both owners and players indicates a possible extension, with the aim of building on the progress made this season.

As the offseason approaches, conversations between Jones and McCarthy will be key in determining the future direction of the franchise.

Jones seems to have a lot of faith in McCarthy’s current leadership to guide the team to success in the coming seasons, despite the problems they have faced this season and their playoff exit.
