Mike McCarthy’s contract as Cowboys head coach is set to expire Jan. 14, nine days after Sunday’s season finale at home against the Commanders, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero report.

Mike McCarthy understands that Sunday could be his last day as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. While speaking to reporters on Thursday, McCarthy was asked about the game against the Washington Commanders potentially being his last in Dallas.

Pro Bowl rosters were announced Thursday and the Cowboys totaled five selections, down from the 10 they had last season.

As he embarks on the final game of the 2024 season, Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said he hasn’t held any discussions with the front office regarding his future. During a Friday conference call, McCarthy noted he expects to meet with team owner and general manager Jerry Jones after the season as he’s done the previous four seasons.

If the Dallas Cowboys want to sign Mike McCarthy to a contract extension before the coach has an opportunity to speak with other teams, it sounds like they had better get a move on.

Could this Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders be the final time we see Mike McCarthy coaching on the Cowboys’ sideline? He joined Shan & RJ on Friday in what could also be his final visit on 105.

The Dallas Cowboys have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NFL throughout the 2024 season. Dallas is 7-9 heading into Week 18 and have already been eliminated from NFC playoff contention.

It is hard to believe that the Dallas Cowboys have one game left in the 2024 regular season and a decision has not been made on head coach Mike McCarthy. The Cowboys made a polarizing choice last year to retain McCarthy after they crashed out of the playoffs in the Wild Card Round following a 12-win champaign.
