Dallas Cowboys proprietor Jerry Jones was visibly upset after his crew’s crushing 34-6 house loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, marking their fourth consecutive loss and persevering with a home-game dropping streak that now stretches to 5. But, regardless of the mounting frustration, Jones appears unlikely to make instant modifications to the teaching employees, notably in the case of head coach Mike McCarthy.
Identified for his cautious strategy with teaching employees, Jones has at all times been reluctant to make impulsive selections, particularly when he believes there’s nonetheless a sliver of hope for enchancment.
His previous selections illustrate this effectively, as Jones allowed former coach Jason Garrett ten full seasons, even with restricted playoff success.
Against this, he dismissed Wade Phillips throughout a tricky 1-7 begin in Phillips’ fourth season. Chan Gailey confronted the same destiny within the late Nineteen Nineties, parting methods after a two-season file of 18-14.
“I modified coaches within the season with Wade and have at all times regretted it,” Jones stated.
“And as a matter of truth, I made a change with Chan Gailey after two years. I regretted that. That is not sufficient. That you must give your self an opportunity.
“I’ve had much more rope than that in my time. I have not had anyone pull it brief on me.”
McCarthy’s unsure future
McCarthy, who holds a 46-30 file with the Cowboys, is prone to end the season, with Jones valuing the continuity over a drastic mid-season shift.
Nonetheless, McCarthy’s unsure future hasn’t gone unnoticed by the gamers. Whereas some have spoken about rallying behind him, the fact of a contract 12 months leaves questions on who will lead them past this season.
The Eagles‘ sport as soon as once more highlighted longstanding points for the Cowboys, notably at their house AT&T Stadium. Turnovers, penalties, and lackluster second-half performances have persistently stalled the crew’s progress, and this sport was no totally different.
The Cowboys have struggled to safe a home-field win since their wild-card loss to the Inexperienced Bay Packers in 2022. Since then, blowouts by groups such because the Saints, Ravens and Lions have marred their house file, and the Eagles’ victory solely prolonged that streak.
