Cowboys General Manager,Jerry Jones Burst Out in Regret for Releasing Mike McCarthy…
Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has expressed deep regret over the decision to part ways with head coach Mike McCarthy. After leading the team to three consecutive 12-win seasons, McCarthy was dismissed following a disappointing 7-10 finish in 2024. In a recent statement, Jones admitted responsibility for the team’s struggles, acknowledging that coaching alone wasn’t the issue.
“I think that’s fair. I think that’s very fair,” Jones said. “I always provide the roster for the coaches. If you don’t get there, then you’ve always got some responsibility.” His remarks suggest second thoughts about whether firing McCarthy was the right move.
Following McCarthy’s departure, Dallas promoted offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to head coach, a decision met with heavy criticism. Former Cowboys star Michael Irvin blasted the move, claiming Jones had “lost a generation of fans” by making a questionable coaching change instead of focusing on deeper roster issues.
The Cowboys have failed to reach the NFC Championship Game since 1996, and Jones’s admission of regret signals the ongoing struggles of the franchise. Now, all eyes are on Schottenheimer and whether he can deliver what McCarthy couldn’t—another Super Bowl for Dallas.
