Stephen Jones 'very confident' Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy will return

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones all but ended any speculation about coach Mike McCarthy's job status on Monday.

Asked by 105.3 The Fan in Dallas a day after the Cowboys' season ended with a wild-card loss to the San Francisco 49ers whether he was confident McCarthy would continue to lead the team in 2022, Jones said, "Absolutely. Very confident."

After the loss, owner and general manager Jerry Jones was not willing to speak about McCarthy's role going forward but acknowledged disappointment in how the team played in the 23-17 loss, particularly at the start.
