After shocking new reports about the Cowboys’ coaching situation were released, Stephen A. Smith was left stunned into silence. The current state of the Dallas Cowboys has him questioning the decisions being made at the top.
Jerry Jones’ Surprising Support for Mike McCarthy
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been hesitant to speak out against his current head coach, Mike McCarthy, but he took his support to the next level on Tuesday. During a radio appearance, Jones shocked listeners by stating he is considering extending McCarthy’s contract.
“I don’t think that’s crazy at all. This is a Super Bowl-winning coach,” Jones proclaimed. “Mike McCarthy has been there and done that. He has great ideas.”
With the Cowboys struggling at 4-7 this season and on the brink of missing the playoffs, many fans believe it’s time for an organizational reset. However, it seems that Jones is unwilling to make that move.
Stephen A. Smith’s Disappointment
Stephen A. Smith was baffled when he heard Jones’ comments and could only express his disappointment. “I can’t believe Jerry,” he said. “It makes no damn sense, Shannon, it really makes no damn sense what this man keeps saying.”
Smith’s frustration is palpable as he questions the logic behind Jones’ unwavering support for McCarthy. “There is no reason to be talking about your coach as if he should feel secure with his future considering how your team has looked,” he added.
Calls for Change and New Leadership
As the Cowboys continue to struggle, many fans have begun to call for a change at the head coach position. One name that has surfaced is Deion Sanders, the head coach at Colorado and a former Cowboy. Sanders has gained popularity for his coaching style and success in college football, making him an appealing candidate for the Cowboys.
However, Jones has already shut down the idea of bringing Sanders to Dallas, stating, “I think we’re way ahead of ourselves relative to when and if he decides to go into coaching in the NFL.”
Jones acknowledged Sanders’ exceptional recruiting skills, saying, “Kids want to come play for him. And he has a way of selling that. That is one skill, that recruiting skill, that is not a huge prerequisite for NFL coaches.”
Current State of the Cowboys
The Cowboys are in a precarious position. With a disappointing record and the playoffs slipping away, it’s clear that the team needs a change in direction. Retaining McCarthy could lead to unrest among the fanbase, who are eager for a fresh start.
If the Cowboys decide to keep McCarthy, expect a backlash from fans who are frustrated with the team’s performance. The pressure is mounting on Jones to make the right decision for the future of the franchise.
Mike McCarthy’s contract is set to expire this season, yet the possibility of an extension looms large. If Jones chooses to keep him, it could lead to significant unrest among the loyal Cowboys fanbase. The question remains: will the Cowboys make the necessary changes to get back on track, or will they continue down a path of mediocrity?
