According to a recent report, Mike McCarthy will not be granted a contract extension as he gets ready for a do-or-
die 2024 with the Cowboys.
Following the Cowboys’ home loss to the Packers in the first round of the playoffs, which saw them seeded as the
NFC’s second seed, there was conjecture that McCarthy might be fired. McCarthy’s comeback was later revealed
by owner Jerry Jones.
Nevertheless, in an attempt to keep his job, McCarthy will coach the following season under an expired contract,
according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
This is an unusual move because coaches typically get extended contracts or fired before they expire.
Schefter points out that in 2014 and 2019, McCarthy’s predecessor Jason Garrett coached in Dallas on a contract
that was about to expire.
Although this is not ground breaking information, it is important that it be acknowledged. By forcing McCarthy to
start the season with his career on the line and by bringing him back, the Cowboys have made two decisions.
There are others who would contend that this is advantageous because Mike and the team might perform better as
a result of the intense circumstances. The counterargument to that is that Jerry Jones’ handling of McCarthy’s
predecessor, Jason Garrett, shows how this scenario always creates distractions. Garrett was forced into a contract
year by Dallas twice in a row. The Cowboys performed admirably in 2014, finishing 12-4 and winning the Wild
Card before falling to Mike McCarthy’s Packers in the Dez Caught ItTM️ game. However, they utterly failed the
second time around in 2019, which resulted in his departure and the start of the McCarthy era.
