The future of Mike McCarthy’s position as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys could be determined by the team’s performance in the playoffs, according to NFL rumors.

Although the Dallas Cowboys have been performing similarly to their usual form in many aspects, such as losing closely contested matches against strong opponents and potentially achieving a 12-5 record for the third consecutive year, fans are understandably more optimistic going into the playoffs compared to recent seasons.

This is because Dak Prescott has been playing exceptionally well and the Dallas Cowboys have a good chance of getting a favorable position in the NFC playoffs. If they win against the struggling Washington Commanders this Sunday, they will secure the No. 2 spot and have the advantage of playing at home in at least two playoff games (where they haven’t lost yet). However, it’s worth noting that unexpected outcomes have happened before in Jerry’s World.

If a similar situation occurs in the future, there is a strong possibility that head coach Mike McCarthy could be at risk of losing his position. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, if the Cowboys perform impressively in the playoffs, McCarthy will likely maintain his job. However, if they struggle and conclude the season with a humiliating defeat, similar to the last two years, there are indications that Dallas may consider making a coaching change.

The Cowboys are eager to alter the storyline this season, and owner Jerry Jones and quarterback Dak Prescott are preparing for a pivotal month of football.

It is undeniable that this statement lacks clarity. Should the team headed to the NFC Championship suddenly collapse, the Super Bowl 45 champion may have cause for concern. Compounding the uncertainty is the unpredictable nature of owner Jerry Jones’ stance on such issues.

Despite the Dallas Cowboys’ consistent mediocrity in recent years, Jason Garrett was granted significant latitude as head coach. Although positive outcomes eventually materialized, the organization must be running thin on patience due to numerous disappointments in the postseason.

Jones may prioritize the manner in which the Cowboys suffer defeat over the actual outcome. If the team experiences another prominent loss due to turnovers, mismanagement of time, penalties, or incredibly foolish errors, it might be the ultimate blow for Mike McCarthy.

The team’s performance is notably better when playing at home, and winning the NFC East could greatly contribute to securing his future in Dallas. This journey commences on Sunday afternoon away against the Commanders, who currently hold a record of 4-12.
