To Every Member of Cowboys Nation,
There’s something sacred about being part of this franchise. From the moment I accepted the privilege of becoming head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, I understood the legacy that comes with it—the weight of the star, the passion of the fans, and the history we are all responsible for carrying forward.
Let me start by saying thank you.
Thank you for standing by this team through every high and low, every thrilling victory and every hard-fought loss. You are the heart of this organization. You fuel us. You hold us accountable. And believe me, we hear you.
This past season didn’t end the way any of us wanted. That pain doesn’t go away easily—and it shouldn’t. Because we don’t settle for being close. Not here. Not in Dallas. Here, we chase greatness. Here, the standard is championships.
And that’s exactly what we’re working toward—day in, day out.
We’ve spent the offseason doing more than just reviewing tape. We’ve been honest with ourselves. We’ve analyzed every detail, restructured where needed, and reconnected to the core of what makes this team dangerous—our talent, our toughness, our togetherness.
This locker room is hungry. Our leaders are focused. Our young players are stepping into their own. There’s a fire burning in this team that I haven’t seen before—and it’s real.
We are not just preparing to win games. We are preparing to own the moments that define legacies. We are building a team that not only makes it to January, but thrives in it. A team that finishes.
To my players: You represent something bigger than yourselves. You wear a jersey that’s been worn by legends. Live up to it. Earn it every single day.
To our fans: Your faith in us means everything. We see you in the stands, across the country, around the world. Your voices matter. And when that championship moment finally comes, I promise you’ll be right there with us—because you’re part of this journey, every step of the way.
The road ahead won’t be easy. But nothing worth chasing ever is.
The star still shines bright. And we’re coming—with grit, with heart, and with unfinished business.
Let’s ride.
With respect and determination,
Mike McCarthy
Head Coach, Dallas Cowboys
