There Is Zero Point Zero Percent Chance Mike McCarthy Survives This Ass-Beating. Right?
This one was over at halftime. Prescott looked like playoff Prescott, as always, right from the jump. Happy feet everywhere, throwing behind, over the head, into the ground, and everywhere besides he needed to put the ball. Oh, and he threw that back-breaking pick 6 right before the half.
All that said, even with Dak throwing up all over himself again, there's no chance Mike McCarthy survives this right?
This is as high as the Cowboys have rode into the playoffs in quite some time. Jerry and the boys have been looking ahead to next week for what feels like a month now. Green Bay stood no shot coming into Dallas today. They barely even made the playoffs. They weren't going into Big D, where Dallas has won 15 straight, and coming out on top.
But not so fast my friend.
There's only one thing we all forgot about. And that is Mike McCarthy's uncanny ability to shit the bed.
It's only fitting the Cowboys got humiliated today like this after playing the easiest schedule in the league this season, beating the shit out of bad teams and running it up on them, and riding the success of Dan Quinn's defensive mastermindedness.
This team looked good this year, and the past couple, 100% thanks to Dan Quinn.
Does Quinn absolutely suck as a head coach, and should he stick to what he's incredible at, which is defensive scheming and playcalling? Yes, and yes.
But is he the reason the Cowboys had any success whatsoever this year?
Also yes.
Mike McCarthy is the biggest empty suit in a closet full of them. The NFL is littered with horrible coaches, but McCarthy takes the cake.
Remember when Green Bay canned him after underachieving for the hundredth year in a row, and he guy said he would only entertain an offer from the Jets, where they would allow him to also handle GM duties?
He's basically a walking-talking extension of Jerry Jones. I feel like that's all Jones was looking for after he fired his last ventriloquist dummy, Jason Garrett.
McCarthy pretty much sold his soul to "coach" this team. I use the term coach loosely because, this is Jerry's team as figuratively as it is literaally. You can just imagine how heavily involved he is with the week-to-week game planning and decision-making at the micro level. If those box suits weren't so spiffy, and his body could hold up, you know he'd be down on the sideline the entire game. McCarthy is his puppet. Actually, remember Ninja Turtles? He's like that giant body that Krang the brain lived in.
Master of choke artists. The irony that Green Bay was the team that costs him his job in Dallas is too much.
Guess we just wait and see if Jerry will stroke a bigger check than Arthur Blank to land BB.
which begs the question. "Does Jerry Jones' age (80) outweigh his penchant for only hiring lackeys and yes-men?" Will he hire a power freak who answers to absolutely fucking nobody like Belichick in order to win one more SB, finally, before he kicks the bucket? Or will he hire another avatar?
