It’s been a tough season for the Dallas Cowboys, but will Mike McCarthy be held accountable and fired?
To say the Dallas Cowboys were a total disaster is to be nicer to their situation than necessary Without a mind-boggling kick from the Falcons and the Giants being the Giants, we’d be sitting here talking about a Cowboys team without a win
It’s safe to say the honeymoon period with Mike McCarthy is officially over, and now questions are already being asked as to whether he’s the right guy for the job
To be fair, many Cowboys fans asked him the question when he was hired, and Packers fans offered their two cents to confirm their fears. But the product speaks for itself and another horrific day for the Cowboys means it isn’t absurd to check McCarthy’s seat temperature
No, the Cowboys won’t fire Mike McCarthy, but if this continues it will be harder and harder not to justify doing so Jerry Jones is loyal to a fault when it comes to his hires, but McCarthy doesn’t isn’t someone who has bypassed the Jones franchise in recent years The hardest part of Jason Garrett moving on was the relationship between the two men – which doesn’t exist with McCarthy
Since the Cowboys’ purchase in 1989, no Cowboys coach has been made Chan Gailey is the closest we’ve come to, but he spent two seasons in Dallas and made it through to the playoffs playoffs in both seasons
McCarthy, as bad as he and the Cowboys have been this season, could still advance to the playoffs as NFC East Champions Think about it, this season has been disastrous in every way imaginable and Cowboys fans have lost patience in less than half a season But despite all this, t-shirts and banners could be printed at the end of the season to celebrate a division title
It’s the worst way to qualify for the playoffs and it would almost take an asterisk, but it’s still a measure of success Jones sacking McCarthy after taking a seriously exhausted team to the playoffs – and god we preserves it from winning a match – would be extremely out of character
