If he loses in the WC round I can see it. NFC has been weak and we need to take advantage with at least 1 deep playoff run. Would be unacceptable to waste it for a 3rd year in a row.

McCarthy has had a top 5/10 offense and defense throughout his tenure. Time to prove his worth.

MM will be graded solely by how far the Cowboy’s go in the playoffs.

Only way Mike is fired if is Dallas loses to Washington this week and then goes and loses to Tampa Bay
Likely true.

But without the Refs, we’ve lost 3 in a row and have a lock on the 5th seed.

Firing McCarthy is probably the dumbest thing this team could realistically do right now.

For all his faults, his teams always have double digit wins and are always in the postseason.
I don’t think so.

The last two playoff losses have been brutal.

And he has no one to blame now.

Btw, Jerry isn’t dumb. He knows the Refs gave us a gift.

I’m all about holding coaches accountable but if he were to be replaced by DQ….I might check out for awhile. Nothing would change in the long run. I am not sure that there is a better coach out there than MM that Jerry would hire. We won’t see a BB or Harbaugh type. If the playoffs go badly, I wouldn’t be opposed to a new OC who calls the plays freeing up Mike. Be careful what you wish for because things will likely be worse……

Nobody to blame? You mean besides the roster that the FO constructed right?

If this franchise fires Mike after double digit winning seasons for what 3 straight years and a few playoff wins we deserves to be ridiculed. Thats embarrassing. Who you hiring? There is no one out there that has as good of a resume as MM does.

What an embarrassing *** franchise.
Kirk Ferentz fan too? Always scared of the big bad unknown.

..schefter is media tool. Anything to stir the pot.
Schefter is one of the best, if not the best, in the business. He's right more often than he's wrong.
I doubt he's making stuff up. You don't stay in this business long without credibility.

I feel like with this team if we don't make it to at least the NFC Championship Quinn might be getting a promotion

Credibility with players, owners, coaches.
Do you know how much time true insiders put in on the phone with people connected with team organizations?
He has mined his craft since being a Bronco beat reporter.
I'm not saying that he's never wrong, but he is the best insider in the business - bar none.

This is all so stupid. Three 12-5 seasons in a row and people want the coach fired.

Do they really think our talent is that overwhelming? Should we never lose a game?
I’m not arguing the other side - just asking. But if you get bounced again before the ncfcg, you just stick w the status quo? How do you expect to get over the hump ?

You can’t fire a coach for three consecutive 11 win seasons. No coach would come here after that. There’s no harm in losing to the 49ers who are more talented. Want to beat the 49ers? Acquire more talent. That’s on the GM.
Want to beat the niners? Have a game with no penalties. That’s on the HC
