VIDEO: Cameras Caught Mike McCarthy’s Interesting Reaction In That Locker Room That Appears To Reveal His Fate As Cowboys Head Coach Following Loss To Commanders
Mike McCarthy had an interesting reaction following the Dallas Cowboys’ loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday, suggesting he already knows his fate as their head coach.
The Cowboys fell 23-19 to the Commanders at AT&T Stadium on Sunday afternoon, with Terry McLaurin catching the game-winning touchdown pass from Marcus Mariota. Owner Jerry Jones now must decide the fate of Mike McCarthy, whose five-year contract has expired.
After the game, Pat Doney of NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth shared a video of McCarthy embracing members of his staff. One can interpret this as a last goodbye and a sign that McCarthy expects to be let go by Jones:
