Well, the Dallas Cowboys might be out of the playoff picture, but they sure didn’t go down without a fight! They pulled off a gutsy 26-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night, and it sounds like Jerry Jones is pretty happy with his head coach, Mike McCarthy.
McCarthy has been on the hot seat this season, with the Cowboys struggling to meet expectations. But after their impressive win over the Bucs, Jones had some high praise for his coach. He said McCarthy “just won’t let them not think they’re playing for the Super Bowl out there,” and that he’s proud of the way the team has continued to fight despite facing a ton of injuries.
Now, McCarthy is in the final year of his contract, so there’s been a lot of speculation about his future. But Jones seems to be sticking by his guy, at least for now. He even said that McCarthy has done a great job keeping the team motivated and playing hard, even though they’re out of the playoff race.
Of course, Jones is a businessman, and he’s not going to make any rash decisions. He’s probably waiting to see how the rest of the season plays out before making a final call on McCarthy’s future. But it’s clear that he still has a lot of respect for his coach.
The Cowboys might not be playing for a Super Bowl this year, but they’re still playing for pride. And with McCarthy at the helm, they’re going to keep fighting until the very end. They’ve got a tough matchup against the Eagles coming up this Sunday, but don’t be surprised if they give Philly a run for their money. This Cowboys team might be down, but they’re not out, and they’re going to make things interesting down the stretch.
