Mike McCarthy Takes Precautionary Measure Ahead of Potential Cowboys Departure

Despite leading the Dallas Cowboys to three consecutive 12-win seasons, head coach Mike McCarthy has hired a new agent, Don Yee, who also represents high-profile names like Tom Brady and Jim Harbaugh. This move suggests that McCarthy may be preparing for the possibility of losing his job if the Cowboys fail to achieve playoff success in 2024. McCarthy has struggled in the postseason with Dallas, going 1-3 overall, including a recent loss to the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round. The Cowboys have not won a playoff game since 1996 and have only made it past the Divisional Round once in that span.

Dallas Cowboys Head Coach Mike McCarthy Hires Agent Don Yee

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has hired prominent agent Don Yee to represent him, signaling that he may be preparing for free agency. McCarthy is entering the final year of his contract with the Cowboys, and while an extension is still possible, owner Jerry Jones reportedly has reservations. With a 12-5 record in the past three seasons but only one playoff win, McCarthy’s future in Dallas is uncertain. Yee’s notable clients, including Jim Harbaugh, Sean Payton, and Tom Brady, suggest that McCarthy is seeking a top-dollar contract similar to those secured by his agent for other high-profile coaches.
