The Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is not expected to receive a contract extension, sources familiar with the matter claimed to ESPN. While previous reports suggested that McCarthy would stay on with the team, he is now expected to continue coaching next year on an expiring contract, leaving his future unclear.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones previously announced that McCarthy would remain with the team in 2024. While the Cowboys suffered a disappointing playoff wild-card loss to the Green Bay Packers, Jones praised McCarthy’s strong regular-season record with the team while also emphasizing the coach’s “demonstrated postseason success” that came with none other than the Packers.

The Cowboys’ loss to the Packers was a disappointing one, especially given that the Cowboys proved stronger during the regular season, winning the NFC East at 12-5. The Cowboys are now without a Superbowl win for 28 seasons.
