Jerry Jones' oddly familiar comments all but confirm Cowboys will fire Mike McCarthy

[john van brocklin]

It's widely expected that McCarthy will be made the scapegoat for this letdown of a season. While McCarthy's fate won't be revealed until January, Jones made oddly familiar comments this week that seems to foreshadow bad news for the Cowboys' head coach.

Jerry Jones' quote proves Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is dead-man walking​

You're probably thinking how praise bodes well for McCarthy. Well, William Steele of AtoZ Sports Dallas dug up an old quote Jones made about Jason Garrett about one month before Garrett was handed his walking papers.

1 month before Jason Garrett coached his last game for the Cowboys

“Jason Garrett’s a good coach, let’s start right there,” Jones said. “He’s one of the smartest coaches and one of the hardest-working coaches… He knows this team better than anybody. When I, this year, decided to go with a younger makeup of the coaching staff –I decided that – I felt strongly that we could go and do that,,,(and) he could be the safety net…So I’m glad to have him. He is the guy for the job.”



Yeah ... McCarthy might be screwed.

Until Jerry steps down, it does not really matter who the HC is, unless he pulls a Parcells move and gives him complete control.

As a coach you never want your owner to speak with high appreciation about you.

That means its time to pack your baggs and look for some other home.

It just confirms which most people expected to happen after the season is over.
MM contract expires and Jerry will go in a new direction with a new head coach.

 

[Homer]

whoever coaches for dallas is already sabotaged by Jerry. The only 2 coaches i've seen in my lifetime while being a cowboy fan that were free from Jerrys strings were Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells.

As usual, Jerry is a year late. The Cowboys could of fired McCarthy after the GB debacle and hired Jim Harbaugh. He's doing a heck of a job turning the chargers around.

 

[Hadenough]

I feel bad for the coach! Jerry sabotaged this season before it even started.

Having said that, Jerry should have cleaned house the day after they lost to the packers!

Don't feel bad. Big Mike was sitting on the couch when Jerry called. He got up and made 5-6 mil a year for 4 years. He rolled off the couch into a bucket of gold.

It a stretch and takes some serious dot connecting to draw the conclusion that 'because Jerry said this about Garrett and repeating it with McCarthy means is all but confirms the Cowboys will fire McCarthy' IMO. Their situations are very different and owners say things to back their HC's every year.

McCarthy should have been fired after GB. Given one more opportunity (for some idiotic reason) it's very clearly not worked and honestly he should be fired any day. I don't see how he is contributing anything to help the Cowboys win. In fact he is holding them back, for example with his generic offense, horrible clock management and mismanagement of the roster. And why to they even have a coin toss any more? We're willing to receive the opening kickoff every game.

McCarthy instantly became a lame duck HC the second he wasn't fired. Jerry says many many many things and this is all a coincidence. I doubt Jerry can remember what was for lunch yesterday and I take all his comments with a grain of salt. We all knew there was a 99.9% chance McCarthy wasn't coming back in 2025. An article written in November has nothing to do that.

I believe you or others have already mentioned that McFraud's contract is up at season's end anyway so McFraud can receive a nicer did not re-new his contract release instead of firing him mid season. Same as his stepson Garrett.
I'll bet that's what Jerry does.

 

[IceStar-D7]

Too bad Jerry won't fire himself..... This clown says a ton, but nothing usually makes sense. Yet he thinks he's the sharpest pencil in the GM box

 

[gtb1943]

MM will no doubt ever find another coaching job, so if he had any huevos he would walk into Jerry office, piss on his desk and walk out the building and leave all these losers for Jerry to deal with. Let Zimmer finish the season.

He should go to Jethro office, turn around, drop trou, and lay massive turd on the chief turds desk.

 

[charron]

They are not firing any current coach. They will simply let his contract expire and not negotiate a new one because they are cheap cowards.

Jerruh doesn't have to fire him.
His contract simply ends at the end of the season.

 

[sunalsorises]

The Garrett situation was weird. He hung around the building for a couple of weeks and almost convinced Jerry to keep him. I’m not sure Jerry was set on letting Garrett go until he actually did.

 

[DandyDon52]

Jerry should have just fired him after the playoff loss. Running this entire thing back made no sense at all.
You can pretty much say goodbye to pretty much the entire coaching staff after this season, but the one major problem with this organization will still be here, sad to say!

they planned on tanking and making the team not very good, so who better to be HC ??
Also harder to fire a 12-5 HC, than a 5-12 HC.

 

[ConstantReboot]

you dont get it, jerry has intended to tank this year from jan after they lost the game.
They kept mike to be the HC during the tank. They made sure he had little to work with.

Firing mike if he went 12-5 again would be negative, so with a forced tank like this now everyone wants mike gone.
no one will say anything when he is fired, and jerry gets higher draft picks to play with.

He isnt going to fire mike, and mike may be getting extra $ for this tank job. If not he should quit now and insinuate he doesnt like tanking
on purpose !

It's still Jerry's fault. They got into that situation because they failed to act last year after the Green Bay game. They should have fired Big Mike after that game. Because of their inactions then, the fans are made to suffer a horrible season.

 

[noshame]

He's lost the team. He's not going to last more than a couple weeks.

I call that the Jerry Jones kiss of death. Betrayed with a kiss.

 

[Runwildboys]

McCarthy is screwed with the season we’re having and he knows it. No doubt he’s gone after this season, if he even makes it through this season. He was lucky to still have a job after the playoff debacle to Green Bay.

I hope you're not giving Jerry too much credit here. Yes, with any other team, he'd be gone, but Jerry doesn't seem to know when to give up on someone. Then again, MM isn't someone Jerry "discovered", so maybe he's more willing to throw him under the bus.

McCarthy is on the final year of his contract, so he’s clearly done after this season. Jerry claimed he stayed with him after the Green Bay debacle because he said the team was close. That’s clearly no longer the case.

Jerry is cheap. He does not like to fire a coach. Let him play out the contract.

Guy had five yrs at a salary in the millions to turn around mediocrity from the previous regime. Didn’t happen so that’s it five yrs is a good run . Don’t think teams will break down his door to get to him afterwards either .

 

[nightrain]

Jerry will be tired of answering McCarthy questions after the Cowboys lose to the Giants on Thanksgiving. Mike will be an ex-Cowboys coach on Black Friday.
