But it doesn't excuse their decision not to fire him after GB.

i think that the reason why mccarthy was not fired is because the jones did not want to pay mccarthy for a year to sit on his butt or go on vacation with there money. so they kept him and set him up to fail so they could have a reason not to resign him or make him look bad so nobody would hire him this year. it looks like it work because he is unemployed this year.

Here's what the Raiders are doing.



6 million a year for an OC. I'd bet that's more than Schottenheimer is getting.

McCarthy already was given a 5 year deal which he proved to fail with come playoff time. Now he wanted another 5 year deal? Pfft, get out of here with that. He deserved no more than a 3 year deal at most. He's lucky he was even offered a 3 year deal.

Crazy to give a lengthy contract to someone that continues to fail in the playoffs. Even crazier to pay that person near the top of the salary scale.

By your own logic, what did your boy Dak do to earn his contract extension? He was already given eight years and "proved to fail come playoff time" sound like a good description of him as well. I mean Dak already had one extension and didn't get any further in the playoffs so why not "pfft, get out of here with that" to him?

Not quite following the logic of you always backing one while now bashing the other for the same thing.

What a stupid comment. I bet you didn't say the same for your boy Romo when he got extended three times even though he did diddly squat? You also prove you know nothing about football. It takes a team to win in the playoffs.

According to ESPN's Todd Archer, McCarthy wanted a five-year contract and Jones wouldn't deviate from a three-year offer.

"While no financial figures were discussed, the length of a proposed agreement was a sticking point," Archer writes. "McCarthy was seeking a five-year deal, according to multiple sources, while Jones was sticking with three."

This report fully vindicates the Cowboys' decision. It may also explain why it took a full week for the McCarthy situation to resolve itself.

For Mike it was probably more about the total contract value over 5 years. I don't blame the Cowboys for not wanting to commit to him very long and who knows how true the whole Witten thing was. If it was, wouldn't he been on Schott's staff?

“What did Dak do to earn his contract extension”? He indicated to Jerry he was wiling to take his chances in free agency. He believed in himself. What did Jerry Jones do faced with his starting quarterback willing to walk out the door? He collapsed like a house of cards. Somehow Cowboys fans are mad at Dak because Jerry Jones is stupid.

That's exactly what I predicted the problem was, but I see nothing wrong with either side's stance.

If I was Jerry, I would only want to offer 3 years because if he failed to succeed again, then it would be around the time that Dak could be cut without any major salary cap issues.

If I was McCarthy, I would want 5 years because he knows that might be his last head coach contract so he wants to make sure he maximizes.

I think McCarthy's mistake was thinking other teams wanted to hire him which made him think he had more leverage than he really had.

In hindsight, I bet McCarthy wishes he had taken the 3 year deal, but he will likely get another head coaching job in the NFL or college in 2026 so it likely won't matter to him then.

BS. A 5 year deal is more than reasonable. No vindication, none whatsoever. Just another mishandled personnel issue by this FO.
