Despite the season's results, which may mean McCarthy won't have his contract renewed before the end of his contract, he understands there is still good opportunity left and has remained firmly rooted in his mission for 2024.
“I don’t think we should lose sight of the big picture,” he said. “I know this has always been my approach. Don't worry about it. I'm very lucky to be here. I'm very proud of myself and the opportunities that I've had personally. I work hard. I'm very blessed. Never lose sight of that. That's always been my approach to the big picture.”
“When I look at young coaches now, yeah, I worry about them more than I worry about myself, because I know where I am in my career. But the reality is, every year That's what happens when you don't take the same approach.'', you really have the wrong view. ”
This approach has been consistent throughout his career, as he signed a one-year extension with Green Bay in 2018 but ultimately did not return. We're going to put those specifics aside in the offseason and prepare accordingly.
“I think this is the reality of our industry,” he says. “That's what it is…financial structures shouldn't get in the way of commitment to the season. Like anything else, whether it's a player or a coach, there needs to be opportunities for business deals and negotiations. , our staff is doing that too.”
Even though Dallas has been forced to do more on the field with fewer veterans and less experience during the offseason, McCarthy isn't looking for sympathy.
“Don't feel bad,” he said. “I'm in a great position…It doesn't matter at all. You have to take the same approach every year, and that's how I've approached it.”
