DALLAS \u2014 The 2024 season didn\u2019t turn out\u00a0how the Dallas Cowboys expected<\/a>, and they\u2019ll have to sit back and wait to chase that elusive sixth Super Bowl title.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As the saying goes, \u2018there\u2019s always next year\u2019 and the new year couldn\u2019t have come soon enough for a team that needed to wash away the stench from a disappointing season.<\/p>\n

\n

While the playoff teams are preparing for a hopeful championship run, the Cowboys are figuring out how they want to move forward. Where the organization goes from here is anybody\u2019s guess, that\u2019s the type of uncertainty that comes when the owner is also the general manager. It\u2019s a franchise that needs changes after the disastrous season they just went through, and the eye towards 2025 begins with the coach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Current head coach Mike McCarthy\u2019s contract is about to expire, and no one seems to be sure if he\u2019ll be back. It seems like a simple yes or no answer, but it\u2019s never that easy in Dallas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jones was effusive in his praise of McCarthy and the 2024 squad\u2019s ability to fight through a rough season, but if the organization didn\u2019t want to extend the coach after three straight 12-win seasons, why keep him after a 7-10 campaign? Nevertheless, it feels like McCarthy will be back, especially after the Cowboys denied the request from the Chicago Bears to interview him for their coaching job.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
