Reporter signals Jerry Jones might keep Mike McCarthy, but that would be a mistake
The Cowboys won’t be winning a Super Bowl in 28 years if their owner, Jerry Jones, isn’t ready to take a chance.
The Cowboys suffered a devastating 48-32 home loss to the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card game, but Jon Machota of
The Athletic said that “no one should be surprised” if head coach Mike McCarthy is retained. He continued by saying that
McCarthy’s firing would force a personnel reorganisation that would be too dangerous for the team.
But it would be a mistake for the organisation to remain unchanged following a disastrous playoff run.
Dallas’s struggle to find a top head coach who can get the team over the finish line is one of the reasons it is 5-13 in the
postseason since winning the Super Bowl last year.
McCarthy certainly falls under this category. He’s continually faltered in the playoffs since he won Super Bowl XLV with the Packers.
The 60-year-old never hoisted another Lombardi trophy in 13 seasons with Green Bay, and he only has one playoff win in four seasons with the Cowboys.
If the Cowboys didn’t have the talent to win a championship, that would give McCarthy an excuse, but they clearly do. Dallas has won 12 or more games for three straight seasons.
This season, nine Cowboys landed on the All-Pro team.
The Cowboys can find an upgrade if they move on from McCarthy. Top HC candidates, such as Bill Belichick —a six-time Super Bowl champion — are available.
Even though Jones and Belichick are strong-willed, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said the pairing could “definitely work” Monday on “The Pat McAfee Show.”
Jones should seriously consider moving on from McCarthy and hiring Belichick. It might be the move the team needs to finally capture a title before its championship window closes.
