Jerry Jones might give Cowboys’ Mike McCarthy a contract extension because he’s deeply unserious

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones might consider extending head coach Mike McCarthy‘s contract. Yes, that’s a serious statement.

If you’re a Cowboys fan, I suggest you look away now because reading this might infuriate you. All Eagles, Commanders and Giants fans, prepare to have a good laugh because what is about to be shared is profoundly unserious behavior. On Tuesday, while speaking on a local radio station, Jerry Jones revealed that giving Mike McCarthy an extension is not something out of the realm of possibility.

“I don’t think that’s crazy at all,” Jones said. “That’s not crazy. Mike McCarthy’s one outstanding coach…This is a Super Bowl-winning coach. Mike McCarthy has been there and done that. He has great ideas…We got a lot of football left.” Sure, Jerry. Let us know how that works out. It’s fine. It’s not like McCarthy isn’t 1-3 in the playoffs with the Cowboys, and his last Super Bowl wasn’t 14 years ago. HOW ‘BOUT DEM COWBOYS.

There’s zero shot Mike McCarthy is back with the Cowboys in 2025, but what this does highlight is that Jerry Jones simply wants a coach who takes orders. He couldn’t care less about the X’s & O’s. As long as the coach listens to Jerry, he’s good pic.twitter.com/hUPFAaleIH
