Jerry Jones Delays Decision on Mike McCarthy as Cowboys Face Uncertain Future

Dallas Cowboys' owner remains noncommittal on head coach's contract renewal after a disappointing 7-9 season.

Jerry Jones has stated he is not under any pressure to make a quick decision regarding Mike McCarthy's future as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.
McCarthy, along with the entire coaching staff, is in the final year of his contract, with discussions on potential extensions deferred until after the season finale against the Washington Commanders.
Key players, including Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons, have publicly supported McCarthy's return despite the team's failure to reach the playoffs this season.
Jones has praised McCarthy's handling of the team during a challenging year marked by significant injuries, but has stopped short of guaranteeing his return.
Former Cowboys legend Michael Irvin has called for a coaching change, arguing the team needs a more disciplined approach moving forward.
