As expected, the Cowboys won’t extend the contact of head coach Mike McCarthy, according to Adam Schefter.
This means that McCarthy will enter the final year of his contract in 2024.
Jerry Jones loves to do this.
Make someone earn a new contract, he did it with Jason Garrett and is now doing it with McCarthy.
Garrett went 12-4 on his final year of his contract.
He shouldn’t even had been brought back in the first place, now it’s a weird situation.
If McCarthy wants to coach anywhere after 2024, he has to at least bring the Cowboys to an NFC title game.
If he exits the playoffs early again, and chokes, he not only will be gone from the Cowboys, but maybe from ever coaching again.
If he can’t win with the talent he has in Dallas, he is not going to go to another team and win there, it’s just facts.
Dak Prescott seems likely to be getting an extension, and I was all for it this year until he did what he did again in the playoffs.
Buy Into What?
The Cowboys’ Super Bowl drought has now stretched to 28 seasons, and big Mike said Wednesday that his team has “work to do,” McCarthy urged fans to “buy into us.”
Why the hell should we continue to buy into you, McCarthy.
It is the same result every single season.
You have said the same stuff for the last 4 years, we have nothing left to buy into.
I don’t care about the 36 regular season wins over the last three years, you can’t win when it matters, I’m tired of “buying in.”
Jerry Jones had a GOLDEN opportunity to look at Bill Belichick and Jim Harbaugh.
Instead stuck with McCarthy. I hated seeing the news.
McCarthy’s career
McCarthy’s career is on the line in 2024, he won’t find another team with the talent the Cowboys have.
Like it or not, he has won a lot, but only one Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers.
He now has only won 1 playoff game with Dallas.
I thought this was a gab hire when they hired him originally.
By that I mean they would have him for a couple of years and bring in someone else.
Yet, here we are failure after failure and we are going through this again.
Look, I’m not GM or anything, but this team has to much talent to not get it done.
I would do ANYTHING in my power to bring Derrick Henry in this off-season.
The lack of a running game finally caught up to them.
If CeeDee Lamb wasn’t having a field day, they didn’t scare anyone.
I hate that we aren’t watching the Cowboys play a football game today.
This off-season is going to be an interesting one.
Dallas has plenty they need to address from the roster to maybe a replacement for Dan Quinn.
McCarthy wanted to be the man in charge of the offense, I am sure he will stay the play caller.
The team needs to bring back Brandin Cooks, and Stephon Gilmore.
They could cut both for cap space, but then they would get worse.
I am not looking forward to watching McCarthy on the sidelines again this year.
Only thing that will make it okay is if he actually wins when it matters.
The plays are sent in to the players. It is then on the PLAYERS to execute those plays. The players seem to execute those plays pretty well in the regular season, for 12 wins (albeit against inferior talent). I don’t see how the HC is responsible for multi-millionaire PROFESSIONAL players not being able to execute in such a DISGRACEFUL manner.
Saw the excuse(s) coming a mile away. Happens almost every year now for quite some time. Someone or something (penalties, injuries, bad calls, ETC) has to be scape goat. They can’t fire the team.
Most informed fans KNOW what player (the REAL CHOKER) MOSTLY is to blame for this debacle, and he will most likely get a nice GINORMOUS MULTI YEAR CONTRACT.
Absolute INSANITY!!!
The Dallas Cowboys players are more focused on their social media, interviews, podcasts, press clippings, etc than their jobs.! Unless they cut out the distractions they will remain a good team instead of being a great team.
