Funny how finally winning a game has fans asking if McCarthy and Zimmer will be back. Lol If we win out McCarthy could be back but we’re not winning out.

If I’m not mistaken out of 6 games left 4 home 2 road . Have to win the home games snap out of the losing at home schtick. That’s 8-7 with road games in Philly ( loss ) Carolina ( win ) . 9-8 Finish . Even without a playoff berth perhaps Jerry ponies up a three yr deal 20 million between 6-7 per yr take it or goodbye

Our coaches are garbage. No, unless we go to the NFCC.

MM has a weak staff I agree . Zimmer to his credit is big reason they win in Pittsburgh & Wash on the road with all these injuries . Zimmer is a cut above every other assistant on this staff

Dallas catches Washington looking ahead and all of a sudden they can win out?!?! Unfortunately they just might put a few wins together over the next few games and drop further down the draft order due to the teams they will face

Not saying this is happing but hypothetically if they did would you say he's redeemed himself from last years gut punch with Back up QB and mixed bag of starters most of them being out due to injury parts of the season.

i can understand this and i think yes new OL coach is needed. i like the scheme with CRush playing QB its more balanced and more under crossing routes and movement. Not sure why Daks offense looks different but i think that needs to be addressed.
last me please don’t start this Cuba restaurant is this office better it was windy what happened to games ago and last name what happened in the Rams game 107 yards and two fumbles in 2022 did you remember to three interceptions in the Philadelphia game you do realize that Cooper Rush in 2022 could barely score touchdown a game where they kept the office afloat bottom 1058% completion percentage five touchdowns three interceptions in two fumbles in at 107 yard output against the Rams was terrible what are you keep forgetting what like something and it doesn’t !!!

Don’t bring that mess in here it doesn’t look different for practice squad offense and we just happen to have a good game but three points in the first half is hardly good they had turnovers overthrow boxes behind boxes short passes I hit the dirt ...

I think what you saw was the first time this year maybe the third time this year but this is the first time they’ve ever cut cut the point Cislo the deepest bad a lot of three and out a lot of negative please turnovers they dictated the game and they gave the office a chance to get in here let me know when it happens with this guy and he blew his teams out when that happens with Dak‘s defense was getting all the turnovers Prescott was turning them into 30 and 40 points every game.... I wanna know when the d doesn’t get turnover3 and outs, get ran over all game loses TOP, like in the playoffs they were happens ?

Let’s win this team looks bad I don’t wanna hear Mr. Cooper Rush had a good game yesterday but the two games before he had excuse he was cold no that’s too bad games in 2022 were the last two games he played for four games in a row he look like trash that’s OK so you can only go to the one game but did you forget that Prescott with Mike McCarthy had 37 touchdowns in 10 interceptions in 2021 last year he led the league in scoring it had like 35 touchdowns and only eat intersections I mean let the league in scoring second team all pro MVP second team imploding and you think somehow Wes looks better which games and eating watching Toy story nearest Prescott air thing Let’s win this team looks bad I don’t wanna hear Mr. Cooper Rush had a good game yesterday but the two games before he had excuse he was cold no that’s too bad games in 2022 were the last two games he played for four games in a row he look like trash that’s OK so you can only go to the one game but did you forget that Prescott with Mike McCarthy had 37 touchdowns in 10 interceptions in 2021 last year he led the league in scoring it had like 35 touchdowns and only eat intersections I mean let the league in scoring second team all pro MVP second team imploding and you think somehow ...?
Rush looks better which game were you watching ? Had this happen since he’s been here most years in the top five number one offenses in the league and you think somehow it looks better because it looks different ????

Just laugh all credibility with me because you don’t even know what your own eyes are saying don’t be fooled

Outside of getting to the Super Bowl, and maybe winning it, I'd say there's nothing Mike McCarthy can do to avoid getting his pink slip. Jerry did little to nothing in the offseason to ensure that he would have to re-sign MM at year's end. Jerry made certain to render him done. It surely served the intended purpose of deflecting so much of the blame from Jerry, himself, as an inept, bungling GM.

Why would Dallas fans want MM to return? His teams beat up on and pad stats against the lesser-talented teams and then promptly disappear when playing the better teams in the NFL over the past 3 years…then Dallas gets embarrassed in the playoffs last year against the 7th seed at home.
MM was supposed to be a developer of QBs and be a great offensive mind…but Dak certainly hasn’t taken his game to a new level; nor has MM’s offensive schemes flummoxed DC’s in the NFL.
Thanks to DQ not putting the ball in the hands of his best player for a game-winning conversion, instead opting for an extra point by a struggling kicker the Cowboys snatch victory from the jaws of defeat against the Commanders, so it wasn’t like MM coached them out.
Dallas needs a HC who is a disciplinarian and brings new concepts to the offense, not some re-badged offense from a decade ago; and one who is a motivator, who leads and inspires.

Will be hard to McCarthy to surpass the Kellen Moore frenzy that will dominate the sleepless nights of our GM

Doubtful, I think the Jones family was on the fence bringing him back after last season but he was coming off a good regular season and had 1 year to go.

I think the only way he's back is if they go on an unlikely playoff run and the alternative coaches being targeted aren't available.
Of course it’s doubtful and probably unlikely but any type of strong finish given the circumstances could bring him back even if for a measly 1 year extension.

Just when we thought this team had quit on him we continued to claw and fight with our best performance in almost 2 months.

So for all of those who feel his tenure is all but over in Dallas , be careful what you wish for. A strong finish with this team could at least get him a 1 year extension.

I know . Winning is more fun. Yesterday was quite fun for a season all but officially over. But if he can coach this deflated roster up then our problem here isn’t coaching.

Perhaps reality will return on Thursday against the hapless Jints but if we are looking ahead we have some winnable games for a 4-7 team with some fight left looking to save their HC’s job.
With Dak around it probably doesnt matter
May as well run it back

This is a really good question. I don’t think so but imagine if Dallas goes 9-8 or 8-9, which is not impossible given the schedule. McCarthy’s body of work here would be good. A ton of injuries this season. Starting QB out. It’s a lot. Still Jerry is going to have to sell hope again so it will be all about a new staff.
