My personal feelings are McCarthy is a good HC, a tad above average and good enough to win, but I'd almost always take Moore as my play-caller. This is actually not a bad piece by Archer. Also, I wish McCarthy would get over his dopey way of saying, "I think it's just like anything."
We get it. You're trying to be police when you address those around you, but you don't have to sound like dufus to be polite.

FRISCO, Texas -- It always seemed a bit strange, the partnership between Mike McCarthy and Kellen Moore.
Back in 2015, while with the Green Bay Packers, McCarthy said he would never not call plays again as a head coach. Yet he accepted the Dallas Cowboys' job in 2020 and kept Moore as the offensive coordinator and playcaller despite the pair having no background together.
On Monday, the Cowboys' past and present collide at SoFi Stadium (8:15 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN) in a game where what Moore did for Dallas, and now does for the Chargers, will be compared to what McCarthy has done in 2023 as a playcaller.
McCarthy said the three seasons he and Moore spent together were "productive," especially 2021 and 2022 when the Cowboys finished with a 12-5 record and made the playoffs. McCarthy's first season, 2020, was impacted by the pandemic and the loss of quarterback Dak Prescott in the fifth game because of a dislocated and fractured right ankle.
In 2021, the Cowboys were ranked No. 1 in yards, ninth in rushing and second in passing. A year later, they finished 11th in yards but had the best red zone offense. The Cowboys scored 530 and 467 points, respectively, their best back-to-back production in franchise history.
"If you look at the pure football part of it, I think we were still working through how we wanted the offense to look [in 2020]," McCarthy said. "I thought he did a really nice job shifting gears and featuring the runners and doing some of the things that needed to be done."
