Cowboys won’t admit mistake in Mike McCarthy, and they’ll relive it in 2021

The Dallas Cowboys will bring back Mike McCarthy for another season despite massive concerns.

Jerry Jones rarely likes to admit he’s wrong. From business decisions to lucrative contracts, it’s hard to be the person at fault despite making all the calls inside the office.

When that happens, the Dallas Cowboys and their fan base learn lessons the hard way. On Monday, the fans lost again with the news of the impending offseason.

According to his weekly hit on Dallas radio station 105.3 The Fan, Stephen Jones, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones stated that first-year coach Mike McCarthy will not be a “one and done” despite his lackluster year at AT&T Stadium.

“There will be absolutely no change with coach (Mike) McCarthy,” Jones said on the show. “I am surprised someone would question Mike, the unprecedented situation everyone’s been in.”

McCarthy’s struggles are hard to ignore despite overall problems

Dallas hired McCarthy this offseason to be an upgrade from Jason Garrett. At 78, Jones doesn’t have time to watch his franchise go through a rebuild or test the waters with a hot up-and-coming coach. They wanted a leader. A person who’s been there before.

McCarthy finished 10 of his 13 seasons with the Green Bay Packers with a .500 record or better. He also led Aaron Rodgers to his lone Super Bowl victory in 2010 in none other than Jerry World.

So far, his tenure has been rocky.

Credit, the Cowboys expected to have Dak Prescott fighting for a new contract. He’s been out since Week 5 after undergoing ankle surgery. The offensive line was expected to still be the staple no matter who lined up under center. Of the five starters from 2019, only Connor Williams remains active.

The problems though rely on the defensive side under the direction of defensive coordinator

Mike Nolan.

The team has allowed a league-high in points per game (30.2) while also allow an average of 162.7 rushing yards per game.

More than that, players like DeMarcus Lawrence and Jaylon Smith, both of whom were paid before Prescott, are immensely regressing week-by-week.

The Cowboys have a chance to start fresh with pieces that can help them win in 2021 in an open NFC East. Instead, they’re electing to stick it out with McCarthy, who could allow Nolan to remain on staff after Week 17.

The Cowboys took one step forward on improving their record in 2020 with a 30-7 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. They took two steps way back Monday for the future development of the overall organization by announcing McCarthy’s return.
