The Dallas Cowboys are currently playing the Houston Texans, and if the result holds, the Cowboys will find their seventh loss of the season.

Dallas is already out of the playoff hunt, and head coach Mike McCarthy is trying to save his job with backup quarterback Cooper Rush since Dak Prescott is out for the year with hamstring surgery.
Dallas Cowboys Could Be The Next To Fire Their Head Coach
There have already been a few head coaching firings in the league this season, with the New York Jets letting go of Robert Saleh and the New Orleans Saints saying goodbye to Dennis Allen. There is a chance McCarthy will be next.
According to Odd Shark, the new favored head coach to be fired next is Jacksonville Jaguars Doug Pederson at -125, but McCarthy is at +600, which is the fourth highest odds, and the Odd Shark has him as the best bet for the next head coach to be fired and stated.
A 47-9 shellacking at the hands of the Detroit Lions in Week 6 has moved Mike McCarthy to the forefront of the NFL next head coach fired conversation. The Dallas Cowboys have looked awful this season.
Mike Zimmer’s defense has surrendered a total of 464 rushing yards against the Saints and Ravens. On top of that, Dallas fell behind 28-6 heading into the fourth quarter of their Week 3 contest with the Ravens, after being blown out by the Saints the week before. Their defensive line is in shambles, players are continuously out of position, and they have few real options at linebacker to speak of. Dallas was bailed out by the poor play of Daniels Jones in Week 4, as he failed to hit Malik Nabers for a game-changing touchdown.
A Week 8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers has done little to help matters. McCarthy’s offense looks completely discombobulated. Dallas’ offensive struggles are reminiscent of McCarthy’s final days in Green Bay when his offense repeatedly ran the same concepts and failed to launch.
The Cowboys roster is littered with playmakers on both sides of the football. So there’s no reason for Dallas to be losing football games in this manner. If these mistakes and poor all-around play continue for another week or two, it won’t be long before owner Jerry Jones makes the call. An uninspiring loss to the Falcons has done little to help McCarthy’s cause. With Dak Prescott on the bench with a hamstring injury, the Cowboys are very likely to continue to lose. At +600 I love the odds on McCarthy to be the next head coach fired. Could Jones lure Lincoln Riley, who’s struggling at USC, to Dallas?
Dallas will move off of McCarthy this season, but it will be when they make the move. The 61-year-old head coach can’t return back to the Cowboys after how last season ended and how this one is going, and he most likely has coached his last year in the NFL.
