The Cowboys snapped a 5-game losing streak and are 4-7 after winning Sunday. Mike McCarthy is in the final season of a 5-year contract.

    Is it? I wouldn’t say he’s the problem for lack of success in Dallas.

      He’s not the root, but I think he’s hit the ceiling in Dallas, and it’s only gonna get harder. I may be memeing a bit by saying it’s crazy to extend him cause I think it’s hilarious when the Cowboys fail, but I think he’s about at his ceiling with Cowboys performance over the last few seasons, and this is indication of his floor.

        I don’t see anything really mattering in Dallas unless Jerry takes a back seat. The ceiling is a team that loses in the first couple rounds of the playoffs for Dallas without that change.

          Hiring guys nobody can respect like McCarthy are the problem Jerry is, though.

          McCarthy might just be a symptom of Jerry, but his rosters have pretty consistently had the pieces that a coach who isn’t a trainwreck to be a hell of a lot better than anything they’ve done with McCarthy.

      I don’t know I think he’s a big problem there. One of the biggest problems I see with the Cowboys is lack of consistency and lack of effort at times. Those are both 100% on the head coach. Sure maybe not the biggest because you know Jerry, but pretty freaking close. Certainly I don’t think they can win with them so what’s the point in keeping him?
