So the cowboys won the falcons game thanks to an onside kick recovery.
An onside kick that was recovered because the special teams coach that McCarthy hired, prepared and practiced A brand new style kick, with the kicker prior to using it in the game.
Meanwhile last year, Jason Garrett had a scout working as his special teams coordinator. And we had the worst special teams in the league.
So even though McCarthy gets some criticism for seemingly poor decisions in the game. His coaching hire had a major impact on the win too.
