The Dallas Cowboys have reportedly dismissed head coach Mike McCarthy following a disappointing 2024 season. Despite leading the team to three consecutive 12-win seasons in prior years, McCarthy’s tenure faced mounting criticism this season due to poor performance, injuries to key players like Dak Prescott, and a current 3-7 record with a five-game losing streak. This marks the first time since 2020 that the Cowboys are likely to miss the playoffs, leading to the decision by owner Jerry Jones to make a midseason coaching change【6】【7】.
The Cowboys’ struggles, including offensive and defensive declines, likely accelerated the decision. It remains to be seen who will step in as interim coach or lead the team moving forward. This shakeup reflects the franchise’s urgency to salvage its competitive reputation amidst growing frustrations【6】【7】.
