Jones claimed the playoff defeat to the Packers is not only McCarthy but to everyone associated with the franchise.
On Wednesday, Jerry Jones announced that Mike McCarthy will remain the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys for the 2024 season. The Cowboys owner remains optimistic that McCarthy still has a lot to offer the franchise.
There is great benefit to continuing the team’s progress under Mike’s leadership as our head coach.
Jones said yesterday
Despite the overwhelming outcry to see the back of McCarthy after crashing out in the wild card stage once again.
The Green Bay Packers came to AT&T Stadium and made a mockery of the Cowboys‘ impressive home win run of 16 games. McCarthy’s former team scored 48 points, the most by any NFL team in the 2023 season, in a game they were favorites to lose.
It meant Dallas’ search for a Super Bowl was postponed for another year. But their veteran owner didn’t put the blame solely on the head coach. To the 81-year-old’s eyes, everyone, including himself, had a part in the Packers’ defeat.
Our loss on Sunday is shared by everyone here, not just Coach McCarthy, players [Dak Prescott]. Our coaches [Dan Quinn] and front office. Myself. There is accountability for our results. I am accountable for our results.
Continuing further, Jones added
Statement from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones:
“I believe this team is very close and capable of achieving our ultimate goals and the best step forward for us will be with Mike McCarthy as our head coach. There is great benefit to continuing the team’s progress under Mike’s…— Jon Machota (@jonmachota)

But that doesn’t mean fans who wanted McCarthy fired would positively welcome the news. More so after the other Texan franchise made it past the first round of playoff qualifiers.
Sharing a wide spectrum of reactions online, here’s what fans have to say:
What a pathetic Joke

My God. We will never win
Texans cleaned house and made it farther than us in 1 season. It's getting ridiculous man.— Look Alive 😎 (@lookalivex22) January 18, 2024
Just give him a 10 year extension then. come on Jerry, you that confident? If not he needs to kick rocks. My God I hate being a Cowboys fan.

I’ve been a cowboys fan since I was a little kid ( the end of the Staubach era, so about 45 years ). I will never root for the Cowboys again until Jerry is no longer the owner. Jerry Jones is the new Al Davis. This team will never win a championship again with him in control

Same coach. Same players. Same results next January. Wash , rinse, repeat. https://t.co/3du5DkyO70

Jerry Jones…is the Biggest Joke of an owner in the NFL!!!
The Cowboys will Never even get close to a Superbowl as long as Jerry Jones is the owner and DeadWeightDak is the QB!!!
WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT!!!#jerryjones #DallasCowboys https://t.co/Bh8ZOSyKXM— David L. Dillard (@ChristianDave50) January 18, 2024
This is not the behavior of a serious franchise that is committed to winning. This owner refuses to believe he's not suited to be a GM. Until Jerry is gone, so am I. Can't continue to support this mess. https://t.co/Gusv5sQYnf
