What's up with the McCarthy bashing?

[Diehardblues]

This site is a testing ground for knowledge. And there is a wide gap. Some fans are destined to be wrong more often then not as they are either biased one way hating or homering.

And some over time simply take issue with the fan because the message is too strong to argue.

The most laughable take I've seen to date is this team is winning in spite of Mike McCarthy. Stuff like that is why I question the intellect of our fanbase with some of our fans....because if you sat through Garrett for 10 years.....you should know you don't win in spite of poor coaching. Especially against teams we aren't suppose to beat or games we are suppose to lose.

You guys need to stop listening to the media. They need more click bait material to improve their ratings. What better way than to talk about the Cowboys and their woes. If the only thing the ca gripe about is their head coach and his time management then is a glorious day for all Cowboy fans.

I like McCarthy. He is a good coach. I love the culture that he brought to Dallas. They are well prepared and well coached. McCarthy doesn't impose his style on the entire team. He let's the assistants do their thing and put the players in positions to succeed.

What more can we ask for?

People bash Mike because his in game decisions. The chemistry on this team is great, but he needs to stop getting cute because these choices can almost cost us like during the Patriots game where we went for it on 4th down on our side of the field in the 1st quarter. I don't think he's a bad coach, but I don't think he's Belichick where he's the one crafting the system that is making everything go. If he has great assistants, then the team can do great things.

 

[Diehardblues]

Especially with HOW he won it. People want tobring up Barry but he literally woke up and won a SB with Jimmy's team. With a dynasty in place. This team surely wasn't a dynasty before Mike came here.

No it wasn’t but the offensive talent was in place along with the offensive game plan , coordinator and play caller.

Mikes addition has been on defense . We’ve added some key talent in last 2 drafts . Don’t know if that’s his credit but it is under his watch . That to me is the biggest difference .

And he deserves credit for the success thus far. This team looks like a true contender. But the criticism of his time clock Mgmt , analytical strategies and risky 4th down decisions are warranted .

The offensive game plan, coordinator and play caller were here before McCarthy got here too and they won 6 games last year and 8 games the year before.

Last year they were hit with the injury bug. Fair enough. But in 2019....there was no excuse in place. Hell they even had probably one of their best free agencies getting Cobb, trading for Robert Quinn and trading for Michael Bennett later on in the season.

I'm not the biggest Mike fan in the world. But I can't fix my mouth to discuss how good this season is going without talking about the job he's done.

People are stuck on these stupid decisions he's making....every coach does it. There is not ONE coach in the league who doesn't do something stupid. But for some reason McCarthy's stupid decisions get highlighted. I guess its the whole "Cowboys" title next to his name because apparently he's been making dumb decisions for awhile but it was never magnified to this level. HE's won a Super Bowl in spite of dumb decisions.

I think some fans/posters have to have a whipping boy........ let's see, DLaw, Dak, Zeke, Jaylon and now MM. What's crazy about MM bashing is they're taking ONE issue he has and attacking it over and over coz they can't find any others. Notice his leadership is ignored .......

I think you perfectly summed it up. It is funny how Jaylon gets cut not only do these people STILL making posts about him but now they've transitioned to the McCarthy narrative. It just doesn't sound like Cowboy fans and I'm pretty sure most of them aren't.

Imagine a fan telling a professional head coach their decision was "dumb" in a win. Its hard for me to fathom.

 

[Diehardblues]

You think you're WAY more important than you really are dude. This is actually my fault, I should have listened to all the fans here who have you on ignore. You're not interested in an honest debate. And you're not smart or clever enough to disguise it.

Have a great day!

You guys just can’t prevent yourself from making it personal .

It’s always been the root of this how our arguments go south. I bash an aspect of Cowboys football or a general reference to fans . Our discussion becomes frustrating and resort to attempting to discredit me not the substance of the argument . Then of course if I resort or retaliate personally then I’m the bad guy.

Perhaps you should stay away because I’ll
Never retreat from my message . And part of the problem with this segment is they basically don’t like my approach and arrogance. Sorry

I agree but at the end of the day, we are still winning.....why is that?

One who has a 5-1 record.........crazy

Right....5-1 at that. And the loss came in a competitive game with the Bucc's who everyone had us losing anyway lol.

And if that holds up then he will receive due credit. But our concern is when it really matters like in the playoffs this could cost us.

. I love the culture that he brought to Dallas. They are well prepared and well coached. McCarthy doesn't impose his style on the entire team. He let's the assistants do their thing and put the players in positions to succeed.

I do like the culture better myself but I think it is ok to say McCarthy is an idiot when he does obviously stupid things decision wise. I like aggressiveness (compared to Garrett it is great) but maybe not as much on our own side of the field. LOL

 

[MaineBoy]

Average HCs don't have a SB win on their resume.....so, you kinda screwed this up.

Barry Switzer has a ring on his resume and Troy Aikman said the team was really run by assistant coaches and veteran players. He also said Switzer was not the same college coach he knew as he was now laid back and didn’t instill any focus or discipline. Moose Johnson said on camera in a documentary that they won the Super Bowl in spite of Switzer. That sounds like a pretty average coach according to his players. I do think Barry was a better time manager than MM and I don’t remember him ever punting from his own 32 yard line. I give MM credit for letting the assistant coaches and players do all these good things.

This team is playing at a whole new level. I know McC has made some minor errors, but geez, are people seriously this incapable of looking at something as a whole?

 

[DuncanIso]

I don't bash him, he's had some questionable time management issues, but he's had the team ready to go. I think he's doing a good job.

at least he didnt get to hire one of his friends to coach this year.

Of course, we have an assistant head coach that no one knows about.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

In this organization the head coach is only responsible for a few things and Mike his visibly sucking at the main one. The bashers of the former coach want to attribute this team's success to the one off-season McCarthy had this team but really it's Jerry's hiring of DQ and Dak's finally found ability to read and get rid of the ball,,,, picking up CeeDee is a huge reason too, as well as keeping the already in place offensive coordinator. The good news is that the front office has finally landed a decent Defensive Coordinator and their patience with Dak is paying off,,,, also I think Mike can get better with his in game management though it might still cost us at some point.

Man you’d think so after 10 years of Garrett. Like I said earlier if you watch other games you see all these coaches do what we as fans consider to be ‘dumb decisions’…..I mean if we are being honest Pats fans are hot at Bill right now for punting the football. This is one of the best coaches of all time and fans are telling him…a man with 6 rings he is not coaching well lol.

 

[TwoDeep3]

There is a theory that ran around this board for a while during the Quincy/Hutch Wars. It went like this. Those who were negative about the team, Jones, the QB, and about every decision Gomer (Jerry) and his son Hee Haw (Stephen) made, did so because they were insulating their feeling for a time when the team under performed. Lots of decisions on The Zone were made with this philosophy in mind. The board was vehemently divided at that time. I think this theory was merely a label to categorize a poster.

With me, or agin' me, sort of thing.

I always felt it was lazy thinking by those who didn't have the gumption to look past the rah rah, it's a new year set. In the long run the ones who were questioning the decisions by a pair of people who had no business running a professional football team was correct. Twenty five years of ineptitude certainly heralds those who asked tough questions back in the day.

This team is different. There seems to be an actual plan in place to get talent and coach 'em up.

But, there will always be a lingering doubt, and someone feted on a bar-b-que spit until this team shows it can have a consistency in success.

Thus, since the team seems to be slobber knocking the crapola out of the opponent, McCarthy is fair game for the doubters.

I get it. He has made some mistakes. But all coaches make mistakes. We just watched Bill Belichick punt the ball in OT. That decision could have gone either way. They could have made the first or not.

But punting ceded the game to Dallas, and anyone watching that was not a pie-eyed Pats fan knew the end was coming. I bet Belichick figured it out fairly quickly.

But he has skins on the wall.

So, Big Bill is sacrosanct in the annals of footballdom. Thus a guy like Mac gets no rhythm from the fans here for his gaffs. Too much credit is given to Rodgers for their Super Bowl, and Mac just has to deal with that egomaniacs' reputation as Mr. Football.

So, as the story goes, Mac is lambasted by the Great Unwashed in these here parts.
