Despite gearing up for his third consecutive playoff appearance with the Dallas Cowboys, Mike McCarthy's future with the organization after this season will be under a microscope based on how the team fares in the postseason.
Per ESPN's Dan Graziano, people outside of the Cowboys organization have speculated that McCarthy "could be in trouble" with another early playoff exit.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones indicated to reporters during the league meetings earlier this month that McCarthy is in line for a contract extension after this season. That came when the team was in the midst of a five-game winning streak, capped off by a 33-13 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
