Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed his satisfaction with head coach Mike McCarthy following their win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, despite the team's playoff elimination. Jones acknowledged McCarthy's ability to motivate the players and maintain their competitive spirit. McCarthy's future with the Cowboys has been a subject of speculation due to the team's inconsistent performance this season. However, Jones's recent praise suggests that McCarthy's job security may be improving.
Has Mike McCarthy done enough over the last few weeks to secure his future at the helm of the Dallas Cowboys ? Based on what team owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Sunday, it's possible. Following a 26-24 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jones praised his head coach for guiding the team to a win, even though the Cowboys had already been eliminated from playoff contention.
Dallas learned of its postseason fate ahead of the Sunday matchup, but it found a way to get the job done against the Bucs, and Jones credits McCarthy for lighting that fire. 'Proud of those guys.

They also lost veteran quarterback Dak Prescott to a season-ending hamstring tear, among a litany of injuries. But the team has rallied to collect four wins in its last five games with backup Cooper Rush under center. With all the up and downs in Dallas this season, McCarthy's job security has been an obvious topic of debate, as the fourth-year head coach's contract expires at the end of the season. However, Jones has stayed firm in not discussing McCarthy's fate in public, even during the team's darkest moments this season. 'All I can say is what a good job, how good a job he's doing,' Jones said on Sunday. 'Don't have thoughts that I would share as to anything about what we do ... after we're through playing this year.' FS1's 'The Facility' co-host James Jones, who played under McCarthy while in Green Bay, strongly believes the 61-year-old coach is not going anywhere after this season and credits the last three weeks as evidence. 'Coach Mike ain't going nowhere. And to be honest with you, the last three weeks have let me know that,' Jones said on Monday's episod
