Cowboys owner Jerry Jones praises Mike McCarthy as the man that will 'lead this team to Super Bowl'

The Dallas Cowboys are long awaiting their first Super Bowl appearance since 1995 as they have not advanced even past the divisional round since that season.

When Jerry Jones fired Jason Garrett, it was a new slate. The team committed Mike McCarthy, who was fired by the Green Bay Packers, in 2020 with the two sides agreeing to a five-year deal.

The Cowboys failed to make the playoffs in 2020 and lost in the wild-card game to the Jimmy Garoppolo-led San Francisco 49ers. The game was underscored by a questionable decision on a Dak Prescott-designed run, which wasted too much clock and ended the game.

The roster is in place to make another playoff push, and Jones still believes that McCarthy can take the Cowboys to the promised land.

"I want to be real clear. He wouldn’t be sitting here today if I didn’t think he was the man to lead this team to a Super Bowl. He would not be, and I have choices. So that’s not meant to be insensitive to anybody. That’s a fact," Jones said.

The Cowboys won 12 games last year, and while Jones said he was happy with their record, "that's not enough."

Jones is not only saying that to look good in front of the media - the head coach said Jones himself has told him about his confidence in him.
