During an appearance on the radio show 105.3 The Fan, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones, son of team owner Jerry Jones, was asked if he's confident coach Mike McCarthy will remain with the Cowboys after their controversial loss to the 49ers in the wild card on Sunday.
“Absolutely,” he said. “Very confident.”
McCarthy and the entire Cowboys organization faced criticism after the 23–17 loss, in large part because of the final play of the game. The Cowboys were down six points with 14 seconds to go in regulation and Dak Prescott ran a designed quarterback run up the middle of the field. After he was tackled, Prescott didn't have time to snap and spike the ball, and the clock ran out.
