Mike McCarthy a Topic of Conversation Yesterday

8 Comments

The Cowboys has a competitive start to their season, with five of its first ten opponents being playoff teams from the 2021 season. Colin Cowherd believes Dallas will be sitting around .500 by its Thanksgiving matchup against the New York Giants.

Yes, he talked about players and others, but he mentioned Mike McCarthy more than anyone.

He said if Dallas played the Rams tomorrow, he said of all the boxes you check, Dallas would have no shot. “You’d be praying he doesn’t screw it up,” said Cowherd.

I have been on the fence about McCarthy and what he can do for the Cowboys. We saw it every week throughout last season, Mike McCarthy not calling a timeout when needed, or when he did call one, it was at an unorthodox time. When the Cowboys were rolling, sports talk shows had segments dedicated to how McCarthy would cost them a game because of this.

Yet, I sit here wondering if anyone out there could honestly be better than him right now. Only a handful of coaches do not get dished out regularly.

As of Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Todd Archer let us all know that for the second straight year, Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy got fined for violating rules regarding offseason practices, according to owner and general manager Jerry Jones.

Archer said in a tweet the fact he has been covering the NFL off-season practices since 1997 and, “there’s nothing different from a Mike McCarthy practice to any other coach I’ve covered,” he said. “Other than not practicing, I’m not sure what else he could do.

As I was making this post, it became news, and although it is not a huge deal to me, I was hit with a notification when it became public.

I would give McCarthy one more year to prove it and see where he takes the Boys, and if it is nowhere, how much longer do you stick by him?
