Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy entered the 2024 NFL season already on shaky ground. After his Cowboys were demolished in the playoffs by the Green Bay Packers to end the 2023 season, there was a discussion about Jerry Jones going ahead and firing him then and starting anew. Jerry Jones decided not to do that, but he also didn’t extend McCarthy’s contract, creating a lame-duck season for the veteran coach.
