Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones might consider extending head coach Mike McCarthy ‘s contract. Yes, that’s a serious statement.

In the middle of a difficult season for the Cowboys, Jerry Jones conveyed a slight sense of optimism for his belief in Mike McCarthy's future as the team's head coach.

For the Dallas Cowboys, though, and owner Jerry Jones: Doesn’t sound like tanking is an option. In his weekly radio appearance on The Fan (KRLD-FM 105.3), Jones made it perfectly clear: his team is not tanking. At least on purpose, anyway.
