Cowboys’ home incompetence is so bad no other sports fan can relate
Mike Tyson isn’t the only Mike who has failed to come out of AT&T Stadium with a win in 2024. Mike McCarthy’s Dallas Cowboys have yet to win a home game during the NFL season, so it has been a year of misery for Cowboys Nation.
Even the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson organizers proved to have more competence at home than Jerry Jones by simply closing some curtains.
But, back to the home losses.

The Cowboys are the only team across the four major American sports league that have not won a home game in 2024. Yes, out of all of the MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL teams in North America, the Cowboys are the only winless team of the year with one-and-a-half months to go.
Now, before we get too carried away, it is important to put things into perspective. With the amount of games played in MLB, the NBA, and NHL, it would be virtually impossible to go winless at home.

But it certainly rubs salt into wounds of every Cowboys fan.
Dallas’ first opportunity to break their 2024 curse comes on Monday, November 18, against the Houston Texans.
If they fail, there will only be three more opportunities: against the lowly division rival New York Giants on Thanksgiving, the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football on December 9, or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on December 22, which is also currently set to be a primetime showdown on Sunday Night Football.
So buckle up, Cowboys fans.

Jerry Jones heaped praises for former Dallas tight end Jason Witten when asked if he could ever coach in the NFL | NFL News – Times of India
Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy‘s contract will run its course; Jerry Jones does not have great chances renewing the position. Several candidates are fighting to become the next Cowboys head coach: Colorado Buffaloes head man Deion Sanders, Bill Belichick, and former Cowboys tight end Jason Witten. A 3-6 record makes McCarthy’s renewal utterly impossible. Witten is assistant coach at Argyle Liberty Christian High School in Texas, a former Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro, with 12,977 receiving yards and 1,215 catches.
Jerry Jones believes Jason Witten could become a great NFL coach
On November 15, the Dallas Cowboys were 3-6 with rumors swirling about the future of head coach Mike McCarthy. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones apparently settled a question of whether former Dallas tight end Jason Witten might be a candidate to go behind an NFL coaching desk.
During his latest 105.3 The FAN appearance, Jones heaped praise on his former tight end when asked if he could ever coach in the NFL. While talking about Witten’s potential future as an NFL head coach, Jones said, “Yes. Without hesitation. Yes. He has something that you can’t draw up. He reminds me a lot of our other tight end who is head coach up there in Detroit right now (Dan Campbell).
Jones further added, “Jason is very sophisticated when it comes to understanding football and all the nuances. But more important than anything, he really does understand the physical and the mentality of being physical and that part of it. Without a question, he could become (an NFL coach). He has extraordinary work ethic. … He can be a top coach.”
Witten is currently the head football coach at Liberty Christian School in Argyle, Texas. Witten played college football at the University of Tennessee, and he was picked by the Cowboys during the third round of the 2003 NFL draft. He remains second all-time for career receptions and receiving yards by an NFL tight end, behind only Tony Gonzalez. He is very often considered one of the greatest tight ends to ever step on a field.

Initially retiring in 2018, he became a color analyst for ESPN’s Monday Night Football. Following his period as an ESPN color analyst in the 2018 season, Witten re-stepped back into the NFL for the 2019 season to rejoin the Cowboys. For the 2020 season, Witten joined the Las Vegas Raiders. Witten retired yet again signing on for a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Cowboys.
