Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones stands on the field before an NFL football game against the Washington Commanders, Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024, in Landover, Md.(Stephanie Scarbrough / AP) Cowboys owner Jerry Jones recently joined 105.

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was one of several players to get bitten by the injury bug, owner Jerry Jones stubbornly refused to boost the team’s running back room last offseason and coach Mike McCarthy dropped a total dud after recording three straight 12-5 seasons at the helm.

With the season’s conclusion approaching, Jerry Jones is not under any pressure to make a quick decision regarding Mike McCarthy.

As the 2024 season comes to a close, Jones admitted Tuesday that he’s learned more about McCarthy through the team’s campaign of struggles. Dallas will end the year with a losing record, missing the postseason for the first time since McCarthy’s first season in charge.

The last time the Cowboys didn't renew a coach, the news broke during the Philadelphia Eagles’ wild-card game. With the 7-9 Cowboys already eliminated from the playoffs, a similar announcement timeline would not be shocking. Does Jones want to move quickly? “I'm not under any unusual timeframe at all,” he said.

The Dallas Cowboys will finish a disappointing season with a losing record after Week 17’s blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite the embarrassing defeat, Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy remains confident in the team’s direction.

Jerry Jones infamously let Mike McCarthy float in the wind throughout the entire calendar year of 2024, proven by the fact that this post is being published on New Year’s Eve. T
