Cowboys Next Head Coach Odds as Jones Back McCarthy

(January 23, 2023) - Jerry Jones immediately backed Mike McCarthy after Sunday night's division playoff loss, but Jerry has been known to change his mind on occasion....and is under tremendous pressure to do so now.

If McCarthy is ultimately removed as head coach of the Cowboys, the oddsmakers at SportsBetting.ag only see three realistic options as his replacement.

The favorite would be a “Prodigal Son” story, with Sean Payton coming back to Big D where he led the offense for three seasons.

Of course, Payton looks to be the favorite to fill the opening in Denver (head coach vacancy odds will be updated on this page later today or early Tuesday), so it makes sense that coordinators Dan Quinn and Kellen Moore are second and third, respectively, on the Cowboys coach list.

Additionally, Brett Maher is a solid favorite to be back with the 'Boys next season, and the team is favored to reach the playoffs again.

In other NFC East news, Saquon Barkley heads into the offseason as a UFA. If he doesn't end up being "a Giant for life," then the Ravens and Bills are frontrunners for his services, according to the numbers below.

Cowboys, QBs, coach and Barkley odds will be updated daily on this page.
