McCarthy has led the Cowboys to three consecutive 12-5 seasons but only one playoff win.
Owner Jerry Jones has not extended McCarthy's contract, creating speculation about his future.
McCarthy's situation is complicated by key players like Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb also being in contract limbo.
Analysts argue that McCarthy is a victim of high expectations and systemic issues within the Cowboys organization.
Jones has publicly praised McCarthy but also lauded free-agent coach Bill Belichick, adding to the uncertainty.
