FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has backed Mike McCarthy one more time.
Asked on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Tuesday if a wild-card loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football could impact McCarthy's status as head coach, Jones was emphatic.
"No. I don't even want to ... No. That's it," he said. "I don't need to go into all the plusses or minuses. I've got a lot more to evaluate Mike McCarthy on than this playoff game."
The last time the Cowboys had the same coach take them to the playoffs in back-to-back seasons was Chan Gailey in 1998-99.
