The Cowboys’ season is deteriorating rapidly following another disappointing loss, this time to Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, 28-25.
Fans are already speculating about potential replacements for Mike McCarthy as head coach.
Jerry Jones’ management decisions have often been questionable, and his handling of McCarthy’s contract is proving problematic.
With McCarthy’s contract expiring at the end of the season, he is effectively a lame-duck coach, and few expect Jones to extend his tenure, especially with promising coaching talent emerging in the league.
This situation has created an uncomfortable atmosphere within the team, which is currently on a three-game losing streak at home. Dallas must turn things around quickly to avoid a disastrous season.
It seems the team is anxiously waiting for McCarthy to be let go, and unless they make a significant playoff run, a new head coach will likely be on board for the 2025-26 season.
Some speculate that Jones is biding his time for Bill Belichick, but his indecision appears to stem from a reluctance to buy McCarthy out of his contract.
This has been Jones’ approach in the past, and it’s now backfiring.
If McCarthy were the right fit, Jones would have already extended his contract.
The situation is clear: the Cowboys are facing what seems to be a lost season. Jones needs to accept responsibility for the negative consequences of his choices.
Frustration is growing within the locker room, and Jones is the primary culprit.Fortunately for the Cowboys, they have a chance to regroup against the Giants in Week 4.
However, the schedule becomes increasingly challenging afterward, with upcoming games against the Steelers, Lions, 49ers, and Falcons.
Unless McCarthy can quickly implement changes, fans will likely be counting down the days until the season ends, anticipating the arrival of a new head coach.
Jones is the architect of this predicament, yet he appears disinterested in addressing it until absolutely necessary.
The time for decisive action is now, as the Cowboys are left to navigate a tumultuous season with uncertainty hanging over them.
