Mike McCarthy is facing his last opportunity to keep the job as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. In order to do that, he has to produce a remarkable comeback from a 3-6 record without Dak Prescott.
It’s a very complicated challenge considering the schedule still features tough rivals like the Houston Texans, the Washington Commanders, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Philadelphia Eagles.
That’s why, in one of the the biggest debates in the NFL, fans and experts wonder if it’s time for the Cowboys to forget about the Super Bowl and focus on a high draft pick.
Will Mike McCarthy sign a contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys?
Mike McCarthy is in the final year of his contract and, although he won’t be fired before the season ends, Jerry Jones might want a fresh start by bringing a new head coach.
During the last few days, many reports point at Deion Sanders as an option to replace him, but, even facing adversity, McCarthy still thinks there’s a chance to make the playoffs.
