McCarthy got a raw deal as a new coach when the NFL responded to the pandemic. It made the process of him and his staff getting acquainted with the team and implementing their plans a whole lot harder. It's hard to honestly assess a coach's ability under those circumstances. So he'll get another opportunity to give us a first impression at many things a Head Coach for the Dallas Cowboys is expected to do... running a training camp in Oxnard, for example.
first off who the flip is PFN?
exactly any fan or media type trying to judge MM over 2020 is definitely in need of reality check. He had zero chance of success with a myriad of issues with major injury losses, no offseason, covid hitting few players , and players who didnt work out in FA...
he lost the division by one game and BB over in NE with less issue IMO went 7-9 i mean i know he gets decade of passes for his tenure but it shows how tough it is to lose a QB and many starters and not have true offseason of evaluation and he didn't have new staff or new schemes to deal with.
these writer just like jumping on the bandwagon of story's that in this dead zone of the offseason need something to write about..
2020 was mulligan for players and coaches and while MM needs to show up big time and possible his seat is warm i firmly believe from day 1 he would get 3 years of his deal to make the NFCCG at minimum and run around team needing full purge especially on defense..
he wont be fired this season unless its him having a losing record with relatively helathy roster.. maybe, but really my gut says Jones will give him 3 seasons. and that actually the right thing to do..you cant just make wholesale changes and give up every other year..
the Cardinals did this knee jerk stuff i mean i dont follow them why did they change from Arians again? vet coach who was winning a lot more then these last two moves which included changes coaches and 1st round qbs b2b years
so after all this 4 years many big changes , they got back to 8-8 which was arians last season in 2017 lmao great moves to be back where you started.. point is you do need to give coaches some time to get schemes in lace and players to run them 3-4 years should be minimum and only if horrible and in need of change, give it time!
