The Cowboys suffered a humiliating home loss to the Lions in Week 6, but Jerry Jones is still standing by head coach Mike McCarthy.

Jerry Jones was tired of the Dallas Cowboys falling short in the postseason. His plan for fixing the issue ended up being to put more pressure on head coach Mike McCarthy by refusing to give him any contract security beyond 2024.

The Cowboys might not have had much postseason success over the last 25+ seasons, but they are a proud franchise with sky high expectations. Every year they set out with the expectation of competing, and to players, fans and ownership, anything short of a Super Bowl constitutes a failure to some degree.
