Frisco, Texas – Mike McCarthy will be the coach of the Dallas Cowboys in 2021.
Speaking at 105.3 The Fan in Dallas, executive vice president Stephen Jones on Monday ruled out any speculation that the Cowboys would step down from McCarthy a year later.
“There will be absolutely no change with coach Mike McCarthy,” Jones said, adding that considering the number of coronavirus infections and injuries suffered by cowboys in 2020, it would be even more surprising if that were a possibility.
Jones added, “If you look at his track record and descent, he continues to win every year. We are very confident that this ship is going to be fair quickly. I think we’re looking forward to it. He’s achieved a lot, and he’s going to achieve a lot more by the end of it all. “
After a 30-7 win over Cincinnati Bengal on Sunday, McCarthy is in a 4-9 lead over the Cowboys in his first season and has won two of the last eight games. However, if the Cowboys win their final three games and the Washington football team loses its last three games, the Dallas NFC East will win.
But with one more loss for Dallas, Washington will win this division and the Cowboys’ post-season hopes will come to an end.
McCarthy signed a five-year contract as the Cowboys’ ninth head coach in January. However, in his last 41 games, he has set a 15-25-1 record, including the final 28 games with the Green Bay Packers. In nine of his 13 seasons, the Packers made the playoffs with a Super Bowl win and four NFC Championship game appearances.
Although McCarthy is safe, there may be other changes in the staff, especially with a security points and the NFL.
