ARLINGTON, Texas — After suffering the worst home loss of his time as Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager, 47-9 to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, Jerry Jones backed his head coach, Mike McCarthy. «Oh, I haven't even considered that,» Jones said of a potential change. «I'm not considering that.

Just so you're clear, I'm not considering that.» When reminded about the previous in-season coaching change he made in 2010 when he fired Wade Phillips and named Jason Garrett as interim coach after a 1-7 start, Jones became terse. «That would be a hypothetical.

In that matter, do you think I'm an idiot? Do you? OK. Well, I'm not going to hypothetical with you about would I consider a coaching change in light of the timing we're sitting here with.

I'm not. At all,» he said. McCarthy is in the final year of his contract. Despite his posting three straight 12-5 finishes, the Cowboys' lack of playoff success — they haven't advanced beyond the divisional round of the playoffs and have lost two postseason games at AT&T Stadium since he was hired in 2020 — put McCarthy's future in question entering the season.
