Seemingly caught up in the emotion of last Sunday’s ‘Spoiler Super Bowl’ win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones gushes over the future of head coach Mike McCarthy while stubbornly refusing to admit it’s time to give playing time to quarterback Trey Lance.<\/div>\n

FRISCO – Before couples break up, often they give each other the silent treatment. Realizing the relationship is a lost cause or leery of saying something in the heat of the moment\u00a0they will regret, they simply stop talking to – or even about – their significant other.<\/p>\n

According to that Relationship 101 tenet, Jerry Jones doesn’t appear at this moment anywhere close to divorcing\u00a0Mike McCarthy\u00a0as head coach of the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0in 2025 and beyond. On his weekly\u00a0105.3 The Fan radio appearance Tuesday, the owner admitted he regularly talks to McCarthy and often discusses the future in positive terms.<\/p>\n

The coach’s contract expires after this season, and the Cowboys’ disappointing season has largely been framed with the chances of him being signed to an extension or let go.<\/p>\n

“Yes, we talk about the future. Yes we do,” Jones said. “It’s\u00a0implied in every conversation. The future might be next game or next month. It’s not what happened last Sunday or two weeks ago, all that counts is the next minute and the next game. The future is where the decision-making is. So,\u00a0 yes, we talk about the future.”<\/p>\n
