The Dallas Cowboys’ 2024 season has been a challenging one, and as it unfolds, head coach Mike McCarthy’s future with the franchise grows increasingly uncertain. In a season marked by unfulfilled expectations, internal discussions are surfacing about potential changes at the helm.
“There’s a great deal of chatter about who might be coaching the team next year, as Mike McCarthy is not signed for 2025,” ESPN’s Dan Graziano reported. McCarthy, whose contract is set to expire at the end of the 2024 season, has faced criticism amid a disappointing performance that’s left the Cowboys with a fading postseason outlook.
The team’s troubles were exacerbated by a season-ending hamstring injury to starting quarterback Dak Prescott. With Prescott sidelined, Dallas has struggled to gain traction, and playoff hopes are all but extinguished. The absence of Prescott has exposed weaknesses in the team’s depth and coaching strategies, forcing the Cowboys to confront the reality of their current roster.
“Internally, the Cowboys are coming to grips with the fact that their 2024 roster wasn’t what they thought it was,” Graziano continued, alluding to possible off-season restructuring. This acknowledgment could signal an impending shift in the organization’s approach, from the coaching staff to the makeup of the roster itself.
Once viewed as a playoff contender, Dallas now seems poised for a significant overhaul, with the franchise potentially turning its sights to new leadership.
