I'm no football guru, but it certainly didn't look like the Cowboys were close to being prepared for that game. But, what the heck do I know.
We're talking about the guy that lied in his job interview and then once he got the job told the media he lied and thought it was funny.Two days ago he said he could feel the nerves (angst) int eh locker-room pregame. Now he says they were prepared?
If they were prepared and ready you wouldn't feel that. Which is it?
The team looked clearly prepared for the offseason. They couldn’t wait to clean out their lockers after the game.
everybody has a plan until you get punched in the mouth...
You're nervous when your unprepared.So why say your players were nervous?
You're nervous when your unprepared.
Nothing McCarthy said in this interview seems wrong to me. The way he answered the question about being prepared was that he was not surprised by anything the 49ers brought to the game. I think he meant they expected the 49ers to be tough, physical and all the rest. I would have asked the question a little differently. My question would have been about the Cowboys intensity to start the game. It seems to me the Cowboys came out a little flat and the 49ers came out very intense and excited. It was the same in the Rams Cardinals game. The Rams were super fired up and the Cardinals did not match that intensity.
Otherwise, he hit all the right points I think. Penalties are about discipline and smarts. There is no reason at any time to have a presnap penalty. There are always going to be holding penalties although he was also right that holding penalties on running plays are totally unnecessary.
I don't have a bog problem with McCarthy. But at some point he needs to correct these problems, or replace the coaches who are not coaching them out of the players.
Or when you realize Big Mike is your coach in the wild card round.
Mike McCarthy....we were prepared...
So he rides the coattails of one of the best QBs to win a championship more than a decade ago, and now he’s a pretentious narcissist who refuses to accept reality.
Hey fat boy, your team was undisciplined all year and drastically underperformed when the games actually mattered.
And we wonder why this team has become a bunch of cocky guys who will blame anyone but themselves for their bad play. Unfounded and undeserved confidence runs deep in this organization.
