Some former Cowboys stars understand it’s time for change in Dallas.
Troy Aikman and Dez Bryant took completely different approaches to how they conveyed their message however each expressed the identical sentiment Monday that Mike McCarthy’s time will probably be ending quickly.
Let’s begin with the “burn it all down” take from Bryant, who fired off on X throughout the 34-10 house loss to the Texans on “Monday Night Football” and offered his decide for Dallas’ subsequent coach.
“I’m the @dallascowboys to the heart. If I’m the Cowboys, I’d fire everyone after this season,” Bryant tweeted. “There’s young, hungry talent in the upcoming draft. Also, I’d consider @DeionSanders as the next head coach.”
Aikman, who referred to as the sport, took the extra delicate strategy.
“Mike McCarthy’s a good football coach,” Aikman mentioned, per Terrible Saying. “He’s proven that at Green Bay. He’s proven it here. You win 12 games three years in a row, you’re doing something right. But he didn’t get a contract extension after he had done that. It’s hard to imagine him getting one now.”
McCarthy, 61, is within the remaining 12 months of his contract with the Cowboys and it appears all however sure he is not going to be receiving an extension.
The Cowboys are 3-7 this 12 months, taking a humungous step backwards after claiming the No. 2 seed within the NFC final season.
Inexperienced Bay clobbered Dallas within the wild-card spherical to finish the 2023 marketing campaign, which raised questions on McCarthy’s future with the franchise.
Proprietor Jerry Jones opted to retain McCarthy with out an extension and have him enter the 12 months as a proverbial lame duck.
Jones has mentioned he is not going to make any firings throughout this misplaced season, however has made no McCarthy ensures past that.
With the Cowboys shedding 5 straight video games and Micah Parsons seemingly calling out McCarthy just lately, it’s raised questions on whether or not he’s misplaced the group.
Jones dismissed that narrative Monday.
“That losing the team stuff, that’s so overblown,” Jones mentioned after the loss, in keeping with ESPN. “These guys are so, first of all, they’re natural competitors. Secondly, they’re so proud of the fact that they are professional and disappointed in maybe the way they executed the play, but that’s not anything that’s brother or first cousin to give up. … Everybody’s certainly disappointed, but that’s a big difference in not knowing that you got to put the foot in front of the other to go.”
The Cowboys will attempt to finish their shedding skid Sunday in opposition to the Commanders.
