Jerry Jones makes explanatory statement on Mike McCarthy’s job after Lions loss

The Dallas Cowboys’ woes were on full display Sunday as they were defeated on their home field by the Detroit Lions, 47-9.

Jerry Jones was at the game, sitting in his usual suite at AT&T Stadium as he celebrated his 82nd birthday. There wasn’t much to celebrate when the team was eliminated by 38.

After the game, Jones was asked by reporters about the loss and whether he was considering coaching changes. He gave a blunt answer when he stated that there were no changes along the way.

“I’m not considering that,” Jones said, via Jon Machota The Athletics.

Jones doesn’t seem to think changes to the coaching staff will help turn this season around, despite fans voicing their displeasure with head coach Mike McCarthy’s performance.

However, he expressed his disappointment at the loss, calling it both “humiliating” and “worrying.”

McCarthy is in his fifth season as coach of the Cowboys. After six games, at 3-3, Dallas is off to its worst start since 2020, McCarthy’s first year in charge. Despite their recent woes, Jones indicated he was not considering making any changes to the coaching staff, seemingly saying the jobs of McCarthy as well as offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, both in their first years with the club sit, their respective roles would be secure.

With a bye week looming, the Dallas coaching staff will be working hard to make the necessary adjustments to get this team back in the win column, and it appears Jones hasn’t run out of patience with his coaches just yet.
