The Dallas Cowboys’ 2024 season hasn’t gone as planned. With injuries piling up and inconsistent performances, the team may consider major coaching changes—especially if Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons turns into another ugly loss. Head coach Mike McCarthy, who’s in the last year of his contract, might be the first to go if the team keeps struggling, given the high expectations for this season.
The Cowboys’ defense, hit hard by injuries, is facing an uphill battle against the Falcons’ offense, which averages 24 points per game. Meanwhile, Dallas has given up 31 points per game in their last three losses, a concerning trend. If the game doesn’t go well, the Cowboys might feel pressured to make immediate changes to the coaching staff, including McCarthy and possibly even coordinators Mike Zimmer and Brian Schottenheimer.
With their preseason goals slipping away, a shake-up in the Cowboys’ coaching staff may be closer than ever, signaling a shift in leadership to finish out the season.
