Dallas Cowboys Begin Contract Talks to Retain Head Coach Mike McCarthy

With his contract expiring soon, McCarthy and Jerry Jones aim to finalize a deal to secure his future in Dallas.

Mike McCarthy's contract with the Dallas Cowboys is set to expire on January 14, prompting urgent negotiations to retain him as head coach.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has expressed consistent support for McCarthy, citing his experience and resilience during a challenging 2024 season marred by injuries to key players.
The Cowboys blocked the Chicago Bears' request to interview McCarthy, signaling their intent to keep him despite interest from other teams like the New Orleans Saints.
McCarthy has posted a 49-35 record over five seasons with the Cowboys, including three consecutive 12-5 seasons before a 7-10 finish in 2024, though playoff success has remained elusive.
Nearly all of McCarthy’s assistant coaches' contracts are also set to expire next week, adding urgency to finalize a deal and stabilize the coaching staff.
