Mike McCarthy’s future with the Dallas Cowboys remains uncertain. While plenty of fans want him gone amid another disappointing season, it doesn’t look like Dak Prescott and the rest of the team feel the same way.

In fact, Prescott recently endorsed McCarthy to stay as their head coach, noting that he believes in him “wholeheartedly” and that he “deserves a chance.” McCarthy is in the midst of the final year of his contract with Dallas and has yet to receive an extension.

Interestingly, when asked about McCarthy’s future, Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones shared that the “whole team endorses” the head coach.

While they haven’t made a decision on whether to keep him or not, Jones shared McCarthy’s credentials and what he has done in his career, per Jon Machota of The Athletic.

“He’s got skins on the wall. He’s won a Super Bowl. He’s been in multiple championship games. He knows what it takes to win in this league,” Jones said of McCarthy, who won the Super Bowl XLV as a head coach of the Green Bay Packers.

Jones also emphasized that McCarthy’s future with the Cowboys won’t be dictated by just the wins and losses. Although the team exec shared that he understands the fans’ frustrations, he pointed out that they know very well “what it takes to win in this league.”

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones when asked on @1053thefan about Dak Prescott endorsing Mike McCarthy to remain Cowboys head coach:

Fans, however, are not too pleased with Stephen Jones’ take. In fact, a number of fans reminded him that while Mike McCarthy is a successful head coach, a lot of his success came before his time with the Cowboys.

While McCarthy has guided the Cowboys to the playoffs in the last three years, they were never able to make it past the divisional round.

“They keep bringing up he won a Super Bowl yea, but he can’t get you there lol,” a critic said. “They setting us up for this contract they bout to give him lol.”

“‘He’s won a Super Bowl.’ So tired of hearing that,” another one shared.

“Funny that NONE of the ‘skins’ Jones mentioned occurred while with the Cowboys,” a commenter added.

On the other hand, others shared their disappointment by the team’s seeming unwillingness to make a change despite years of failure. The Cowboys have not made it to the Super Bowl since 1995.

“I hate this entire bloodline,” an angry fan wrote.

A disappointed follower added, “The whole Jones family is clueless about fielding a championship caliber NFL team. All they care about is mediocre teams, marketing and make $.”

“McCarthy isn’t a great coach but Jerry and Stephen are still the biggest problem,” a social media user further stated.

It remains to be seen what the Cowboys will do in the offseason. At 5-7 entering Week 14, they have a slim chance of making it to the postseason.

Should Dallas fail to make the playoffs, the fans’ desire to see some changes would only intensify.
