The Dallas Cowboys will retain head coach Mike McCarthy for the 2024 NFL season despite rumors of a coaching change after the team’s damaging playoff loss on Sunday.
The Cowboys were humbled at home, 48-32, against a young and inexperienced Green Bay Packers squad, after which McCarthy’s future with the organization came into question.
However, Dallas owner Jerry Jones released a statement on Wednesday explaining that McCarthy would return with the team for next season.
“I believe this team is very close and capable of achieving our ultimate goals and the best step forward for us will be with Mike McCarthy as our head coach,” Jones said. “There is great benefit to continuing the team’s progress under Mike’s leadership as our head coach.
regular season – failing on all fronts in a convincing loss.
Jones stressed that Sunday’s loss affected the whole Cowboys organization, not just McCarthy.
“Our layers. Our coaches. Our front office. Myself. There is accountability for our results. I am accountable for our results,” he said. “The lens we use to view and evaluate Coach McCarthy is holistic.
“While we’re all disappointed with the result on Sunday and with our playoff record, I am 100 percent supportive of him as our head coach and ability to reach our goals.
“We will start our process of review and decision making regarding everything that impacts our team and roster and, while we’re not going to address specific players and extensions or free agents at this point, it deserves our deepest review and consideration, and it will get it.”
