Quick Hit: Cowboys & McCarthy- Finished!
As usual, it takes a lot longer than it should to arrive at precisely the predicted spot.
Here is all I can offer you in brief and between meetings to summarize the Dallas Cowboys and Mike McCarthy moving on to a new era for each.
This is no surprise at all.
As written one week ago today….
Personally, I think the head coach is ready to leave, and I expect that to be the case for both McCarthy and Mike Zimmer. I think they handled this season with the dignity and class you would expect from lifetime “football men” and will want to leave this organization with the pride that they did the best they could. Throwing fits or even suggesting that they were treated unfairly for being served a trash sandwich in 2024 by the front office would only make them look like they don’t understand their own profession. They know how it works, and they have left places before. They will be just fine.
And then Dallas will start anew. 10,572 days since Super Bowl 30, they will start again in their pursuit to return to the days of parades and glory.
Aside from 10,579 days now being on the counter, this is where we find ourselves. In the exact spot where we thought we would be.
