The Dallas Cowboys are struggling significantly this season, currently holding a 3-6 record after a fourth consecutive loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. With their star quarterback sidelined and key players injured, the team's prospects for a successful season are bleak.

Head coach Mike McCarthy, hired in 2020, has failed to meet expectations, especially after losing in the playoffs in previous years. Owner Jerry Jones is hinting at a potential future coaching hire of former tight end Jason Witten, despite his lack of experience beyond high school coaching.

This pattern reflects Jones's tendency to favor connections to the franchise over qualified candidates, raising concerns about the Cowboys' coaching search strategy and overall direction.
