The constant pressure on Mike McCarthy as the Dallas Cowboys coach means that there is always discourse around his future.
Dak Prescott gets heavily criticized by by Donte Whitner
One benefit for him is that star player Dak Prescott seems to fully back the coach, but the opinion of owner Jerry Jones is what really counts.
The Cowboys’ season came to an end on Sunday night, losing 48-32 against the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round.
Even before that defeat, rumors were swirling about McCarthy‘s future.
Jones didn’t want to get drawn into that though, saying: “I haven’t thought one second about it. I know how hard, how much it meant to our fans to advance. What this loss to me means, again, not how [or] why, who didn’t do what, all of that type of thing, the only thing on my mind almost this entire game was not an analysis of our strategy, not an analysis of our play, it was, ‘Do we get to play here again next week?’ And we can’t.
“That could have happened by a point or it could have happened the way it happened out there. That’s all I’ve thought about. It’s real.”
Jones also said that there is no meeting planned with McCarthy on Monday.
“What I had planned to do was be with him [Monday] going over how we played [Sunday] and getting ready for the coming week,” Jones said. “That’s what was on the agenda. [Monday], my agenda will be to dismiss the team.”
Prescott stands up for his coach
“He’s been amazing. I don’t know how there can be [questions about his status], but I understand the business,” Prescott said.
“In that case then there should be about me, as well, honestly. I mean, that guy, I’ve had the season I’ve had because of him. This team has had the success that they’ve had because of him. And I understand it’s about winning the Super Bowl, and that’s the standard of the league and damn sure the standard of this place. I get it. But add me to the list in that case.”
