Mike McCarthy thinks Cowboys “improving,” despite quiet free agency after the. ..

As leaders of the Dallas Cowboys, head coach Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott will be tasked with leading the franchise into its most pressurized season in recent memory.

After three consecutive 12-5 seasons, all of which ended in the same sour fashion in the playoffs, it appears that owner Jerry Jones is putting his foot down and making both McCarthy and Prescott fight for their jobs in 2024.

But with so much pressure to lead the organization to at least its first NFC Championship game in nearly three decades with a severely weakened roster, this 2024 ride is going to be anything but smooth.

But due to past failures, that’s exactly where Dak and McCarthy find themselves.

“McCarthy needs to push the Cowboys to at least the Divisional Round to feel even somewhat comfortable with his job security, and it’s not a coincidence management let Prescott’s contract stand as is entering 2024,” NFL.com writes. “Everything is on the line, and it feels like the ‘Boys are still a move or two away from feeling properly prepared for this massive campaign ahead.”
