Sure sounds like Jerry Jones’ terrifying Mike McCarthy comments are a Cowboys lie.

The Dallas Cowboys won in thrilling fashion on Sunday, so naturally negative discourse about the team has been hard to find. During the five-game losing streak, fans didn’t have to search far and wide for national talking heads eviscerating the franchise.

While the Cowboys needed a missed extra point to win, they beat Dan Quinn’s Washington Commanders pillar to post. It was a 20-9 ballgame with three minutes left in regulation.

Not only was it nice to celebrate a win, but it put a hold – albeit a temporary one – on speculating about Mike McCarthy’s future. McCarthy deserves that much, but there has unfortunately been forced conversation about McCarthy potentially saving his job depending on how Dallas finishes the season.

Appearing on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Tuesday, owner Jerry Jones was asked about McCarthy, specifically whether it would be crazy if he would extend the 61-year-old head coach. The question was put on a tee for Jones to say something outlandish and he made solid contact.

Cowboy's Jerry Jones doesn't quiet Mike McCarthy speculation

“I don’t think that’s crazy at all,” Jones said about a McCarthy extension, via The Athletic. “This is a Super Bowl-winning coach. Mike McCarthy has been there and done that. He has great ideas. We got a lot of football left.”

Jones’ quote has already been aggregated by multiple prominent NFL insiders. By the time this article is published it will be a national talking point.

That is exactly what Jones wants, folks.

The Cowboys absolutely took it to the Commanders. They were double-digit underdogs. Everyone expected Quinn to have Washington ready to put a beatdown on his free-falling former team. Nobody has anything negative to say about Dallas, so they were not a lead story Monday morning.

Enter Jerry Jones.

As frightening as it is to think about McCarthy receiving an extension, recent history proves Jones is probably lying. Look back to January. McCarthy’s contract wasn’t extended after three consecutive 12-win seasons – the first time Dallas has accomplished that since the 1990s. Do you really think Jones might do it after whatever becomes of a 4-7 season? Of course not.

Yes, the Cowboys had just suffered the most embarrassing playoff lost in franchise history, but McCarthy has made the team consistently relevant. That is exactly what Jones wants. If he didn’t earn an extension after three straight 12-5 seasons, how will he earn it with Dallas currently slated to pick No. 11 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft?

Nobody knows how to deliver talk show topics like Jones. That’s all this is.
