Mike McCarthy promises personal growth upon his 2024 comeback with the Cowboys
January 18, 2024 – 9:11 AM PST
Get ready, Cowboys fans! Mike McCarthy is returning as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys in 2024, but there might be some changes in his coaching staff.
“We are in position to learn and grow from this and build on it,” McCarthy said Thursday.
“We have established a championship program. I know how to win. We will get over that threshold.”
McCarthy, 60, has had a successful record of 42-25 in four regular seasons with the Cowboys, including NFC East titles in 2021 and 2023. However, he has only managed to secure one playoff victory.
After a disappointing 48-32 loss to the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has remained silent about McCarthy’s future. He even canceled his weekly appearance on a local radio show.
“We’ve just got to continue to work. There’s work to do. What’s the direction? What’s the schedule? Let’s get to work,” McCarthy said, revealing his mindset after meeting with Jones.
McCarthy understands that addressing the team’s postseason failures is crucial for his coaching career in Dallas.
“You don’t get the opportunity to answer these questions until you take care of the regular season,” McCarthy emphasized.
The Cowboys made a significant change at the end of the 2022 season by firing offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, with McCarthy taking over as the primary play-caller. Now, the team faces uncertainty on the defensive side.
Defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is scheduled for interviews with the Washington Commanders and Seattle Seahawks. Jones has tried to retain Quinn by increasing his pay, but Quinn has already interviewed with other teams, including the Carolina Panthers, Tennessee Titans, and the Los Angeles Chargers.
When asked about the passionate fans demanding changes under McCarthy’s leadership, the coach stated that he is still evaluating the team and staff.
“I clearly understand the emotion of all this and fans’ perspective. It’s very raw as I’m standing here before you. There definitely will be adjustments and changes made. But I think we have a lot to build off of,” McCarthy assured.
McCarthy, who has guided the Cowboys to three consecutive 12-win seasons, has one year remaining on his contract.
Dak Prescott, the star quarterback who had an outstanding season in 2023, throwing for 4,516 yards and 36 touchdowns, expressed his support for McCarthy despite the team’s recent loss.
“He’s been amazing,” Prescott praised. “I don’t know how there can be any questions about his status, but I understand the business. … I’ve had the season I’ve had because of him. This team has had the success that they’ve had because of him. And I understand it’s about winning the Super Bowl, and that’s the standard of the league and damn sure the standard of this place. I get it.”
