It looks like Mike McCarthy’s time with the Cowboys may not be over.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, McCarthy and the organization are expected to begin talks on a new contract on Friday to keep the head coach in Dallas.
McCarthy and the Cowboys engaged in discussions about the 2024 season and future throughout the week. But there were no substantive negotiations regarding McCarthy’s contract. Pelissero points out that there are still problems to be worked out.
Dallas still has an exclusive negotiating window with McCarthy until Tuesday before he becomes a free agent. There is at least one known team willing to talk to him, as the Bears were denied permission to interview McCarthy this week. The urgency also stems from the fact that McCarthy’s assistant coaches have deals that expire Tuesday, which could complicate his efforts to build a staff.
McCarthy, 61, has compiled a 49-35 record with the Cowboys over the past five years with a 1-3 postseason record. After three straight 12-5 finishes, Dallas is 7-10 in 2024. McCarthy’s overall record is 174-112-2 in regular season games and 11-11 in the postseason with his 13-year tenure with Green Bay. McCarthy won Super Bowl SLV with the Packers to cap the 2010 season.
