BRAEKING: Dallas Cowboys’ Mike McCarthy Still On that his team should get readly for the second match is going to be hot…..
Even though the Dallas Cowboys might surprise everyone by winning their division at the end of the 2023 regular season, Mike McCarthy’s position is still in jeopardy for 2024.
The fourth-year head coach’s job will depend on how the team finishes the season in the playoffs, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter revealed prior to the Cowboys’ regular-season finale against the Washington Commanders.
“McCarthy would have an excellent chance to keep his job if the Cowboys play well in the postseason,” Schefter said. Nevertheless, some believe that Dallas may undergo change if they falter and finish the season with a humiliating loss, as has occurred in each of the previous two years.”
Only a few weeks have passed since it was suggested that McCarthy would be in line.
for a contract extension after Dallas’ winning run of five games, which ended in a Week 14 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles (33-13).
The owner, Jerry Jones, stated back in December that the project would follow a path that seeks its own timeline. “I don’t do anything of that sort until the season is over.”
Even though the Eagles began the season 5-0 and are the only unbeaten team in the NFL, the Cowboys will win the NFC East if they defeat the Commanders this weekend. They are -13-point favorites.
But if Dallas keeps failing miserably in the postseason like it has in the past, winning the division title will be for nothing. It’s no secret that, since the 1995 campaign, the Cowboys have not made it to the conference title game. To make matters worse, the Cowboys have only won 5-12 games in the postseason since the 1996 campaign; two of those losses occurred when the team was the top seed in the NFC. Five of those defeats occurred at home.
Additionally, Dallas has lost to the San Francisco 49ers three times in the playoffs: first in the divisional round in 2022 as a division winner and again in 2021; additionally, Dallas has lost to the Niners or McCarthy’s career would probably expire before the conference title game against another top-tier NFC team.
With four seasons under his belt, McCarthy’s 41 victories with the Dallas Cowboys are actually the most in any coach in Cowboys history, and the team has the second-highest total in the NFL since the 2021 season, trailing only the Kansas City Chiefs.
It should be mentioned that even with the loss of Pro Bowl running back Ezekiel Elliott and former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, the Cowboys offense has remained among the best in the league. McCarthy has assumed control of the offensive play-calling, and quarterback Dak Prescott has benefited the most from it. After throwing 15 picks in just 12 games the previous season, Prescott has posted an MVP-caliber season with a league-high 32 touchdown passes and just eight interceptions.
But the Cowboys, under the direction of owner Jerry Jones and more than any other NFL team, they are referred to as America’s Team. In the great scheme of things, Dallas’ regular season success is meaningless when you factor in their lack of postseason success during the previous 28 years.
