The Dallas Cowboys just crowned themselves NFC East champions and are the No. 2 seed in the NFC after a 12-5 season, but it sounds like their head coach still might be on the hot seat. After Sunday’s blowout win over the Commanders to help clinch the division for Dallas, owner Jerry Jones was asked about the future of Mike McCarthy and he gave a rather ominous answer. 

“We’ll see how each game goes in the playoffs,” said Jones, via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Judging by that answer, the door seems to be wide open for the possibility of the Cowboys ousting McCarthy in the event that this postseason is not satisfactory in the eyes of Jones. This is the third season in a row that the Cowboys have finished 12-5 under McCarthy and while the regular season campaigns have piled up plenty of wins, it hasn’t resulted in postseason success. The club was a one-and-done in 2021 after losing in the wild-card round, and lost in the divisional round a season ago. If that trend continues this season, moving on from McCarthy might be on the table.
