Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys’ NFL playoff journey this season ended in disappointment as they suffered a resounding defeat at the hands of the Green Bay Packers, marking a one-and-done exit.
The question now looms: What lies ahead for the Dallas team?
Many anticipate that the Cowboys may part ways with their current head coach, Mike McCarthy, in the wake of this disappointing playoff exit. However, owner Jerry Jones has yet to finalize any decisions regarding the future direction of his team.
“I haven’t thought about that.”
Inside sources, such as ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, have been speculating about McCarthy’s potential departure. It has been a prevailing belief that McCarthy’s fate would hinge on the outcome of the season’s final game.
“Throughout this season, sources believed Cowboys’ HC Mike McCarthy always would be judged by how Dallas’ last game of the season went.”
Unfortunately for Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys, that final game turned out to be a disastrous affair. Despite an impressive regular season record of 12-5 and securing the No. 2 seed in the NFC, the Cowboys suffered a crushing defeat at home against the Green Bay Packers.
