Cowboys' Mike McCarthy on Player Criticism: 'Important to Handle Things as Men'

The Dallas Cowboys fell to 2-4 with Monday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but head coach Mike McCarthy isn't happy about criticism some unnamed players reportedly provided to the media.

"I've always stated that...it's important to handle things as men," McCarthy told reporters Tuesday, per Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk. "I mean, if you do have something to say publicly that is of most important, I think it's important to say it to the individual, or particularly in a group dynamic setting, especially in the game of football, especially for the Dallas Cowboys."

Unfortunately, the culture Jerry has created here doesnt allow that to happen.

The players go to the owner when they arent getting their way and its been like that for over two decades now

He’s right , loseeers

I totally agree with Coach McCarthy.

If you've got a problem or disagree with the way your coach(es) are coaching, BE A MAN and address it with them privately. BE A PROFESSIONAL, not some unruly and disrespectful little boy. You are representing America's Team. Act like it.

It's bad enough to go straight to the owner. It's worse to go to the media. There is no TEAM with such disrespect and division.

Ahh, so McCarthy retaliates. This storyline is more interesting than this wildfire of a season going on behind it!! Will be very interested to see how things go down here.

Now that McCarthy said that, will the anonymous player step forward? Will the previously cut Carr come forward and speak upon what he saw? Will Zeke fix his fumbling issue? Will anyone be benched? When will Jerry go nuclear? Will we see a huge players vs coach level fist fight (NFL first)? So many questions. This is gonna be good, boys. Sit down and enjoy the ride . This team is the equivalent of the Kardashians in the real world. So prissy, emotional, fake, disgusting, disheartening, and inpassionate players.

Sounding more and more like Garrett. The nepotism in Dallas NEVER ends

This team should be 1-5 if it wasn't for a brain fart by the Falcons. We haven't been competitive in any game until last second FGs. I'm sorry, MM doesn't deserve any benefit of the doubt. He brought nothing to this team other than buddy co-ordinators that are doing terrible. He was known as a playcaller but let the previous guy handle that. He's doing very little and it's going historically wrong.

Hes totally right.....if you have an issue with the coaching staff you professionally ask for a meeting with the coaches and tell them your frustrations

not blast it to the media.....

Its completely fine to think the coaches arent good and they dont know their left from their right but you tell them behind closed doors to their face

Jerry Jones gutless wonderkids, "Hey, we leak it to the press we're not happy with Big Mac and we already know what happened with him and Aaron Rodgers. See what I'm saying?"

 

[BobbyFlame469]

We need a defensive player like Myles Garrett that isn’t afraid to wack a coach upside the head with a helmet if he’s being a fool.

 

[cowboyec]

almost all head coaches hire guys they have known.
not a big deal.
going to the media to tattle....that is.
so much for brotherhood.
something has gotta give...either the "whisperers" or the coaches.

Yeah OK, but Greg Hardy was the last guy who tried that as a Cowboy.

It doesn't give the players any excuse for turning into backstabbing, media tattletales. That's just outright being a punk.

McCarthy doesnt care.

He got his paycheck when it was looking iffy as to if anyone was going to hire him.

Turns out that was the WORST possible guy to bring in here considering how many players have this attitude.

Think I'm wrong? Watch and see this team quit fast and quickly in the coming weeks.

 

[links18]

OMG, he is about as articulate as a Jones Boy and that's not a good thing.

 

[NEODOG]

Translation

Need my guys to help back me up -

As it stands now- Hes solo on a pacific island

Rehire Garrett!
