Jerry Jones Open to Extending Mike McCarthy's Contract Despite Disappointing Season

The Dallas Cowboys owner expressed support for his head coach, citing his Super Bowl-winning credentials and leadership, even as the team struggles with a 4-7 record.

Jerry Jones stated on a Dallas radio show that extending Mike McCarthy's contract is not 'crazy,' highlighting McCarthy's past success as a Super Bowl-winning coach.
The Cowboys are 4-7 this season, with slim playoff hopes, but Jones emphasized the team has 'a lot of football left' and refrained from making definitive decisions about the coaching staff's future.
McCarthy, in the final year of his contract, downplayed speculation about his future, focusing instead on preparing for the upcoming Thanksgiving Day game against the New York Giants.
Jones dismissed the idea of tanking for a better draft pick, stressing the importance of winning games and maintaining team morale as the season progresses.
The Cowboys face a favorable schedule with their next four opponents having losing records, starting with the 2-9 Giants, offering a potential opportunity to build momentum.
