What ultimately led to Mike McCarthy's firing with the Dallas Cowboys? Dan Patrick Show | NBC Sports

[@Allan_A]

He did not get fired! His contract expired and he's a free agent.

[@TheCowboysdude]

I know you'd think the 'press' would get it right but for some reason they continue to be ignorant like always.

[@volt91997]

That's getting fired my boy

[@Allan_A]

@volt91997 no, it is not getting fired. Once his contract expired he's the same as you and me - any man off the streets. You cannot fire a man you don't employ, and he wasn't a Cowboys employee when the contract expired.

[@TheDd4477]

​@@Allan_AWell the title gets clicks 😂

[@2500BC]

@@Allan_Acontract not renewed equals fired for all intents and purposes. He was promoted to fan. But yes technically he was not terminated….but same difference.

[@jean-pierrek1529]

He was not fired, his contract ended and they didn’t sign a new contract with him. There is a difference.

[@scottmarshall8494]

Jerry’s Texas sized ego is the problem

[@woolworthdavis2007]

Mike told Jerry to stuff that BS contract!

[@bean-yi4dq]

Dallas we never be good untill jerry jones step back and check his ego.

[@charlesmoore6140]

He wasn't fired ! He didn't want to work for Jerry Jones anymore.

[@douglasernst3559]

He wasn't fired the contract ran out

[@DavidBridge-u8d]

He didn’t get fired. They just didn’t renew the contract. The reasons are obvious.

[@thomcarr7021]

None of this is about the game of football. It's about Nero looking over the horizon .

[@richmle]

His hiring is ultimately what led to his firing.

[@installwebercarburetorsona6159]

Good guest…”you find that troubling Dan? “ lol

[@cmax8719]

Im confused. Is Ben Johnson not getting a coaching job? The reason I ask is that everyone acts as if Dallas missed the window to talk to him when he still hasnt picked a team. If Johnson and Dallas have mutual interest, cant that just happen after the season?

[@florida1289]

I don't think Ben Johnson goes to a place with an owner like Jerry Jones. Doesn't make sense considering what we know about Johnson. Deion makes a ton of sense but who knows.

[@Sam-pi6ch]

Johnson isnt going to Dallas lol

[@cmax8719]

​​@@Sam-pi6chWhere did I say he was going to Dallas..read accurately without bias..i was making an entirely different point My point is everyone calling out Dallas for not talking to Johnson sooner is nonsense

[@Thatfantasyfootballchick]

the best window to talk to him was during the bye - now they have to wait a bit and he may pounce on another opportunity or look at the way dallas does business and decline

[@cmax8719]

​@Thatfantasyfootballchick I get what you are saying and don't disagree. I just think people on tv are overstating it a bit. Since Johnson didn't sign with anyone yet, if hes intrigued about the Dallas job, now that it is opened, he would probably not make a decision until he talks to Dallas after the season. So nothing would be lost. It isn't as if he's already signed with a team and Dallas missed out during the bye because they still had McCarthy. So I think people on tv are not really telling the whole truth when they say Dallas missed out on Johnson by holding on to McCarthy too long. (And to help other people who are reading this but jump to conclusions, I am not saying Dallas will sign Johnson, should sign him, want him, or he wants to coach Dallas. I am simply saying that while it is usually best to talk with the candidate a little earlier, because Johnson didn't sign yet, technically Dallas didn't completely blow its chance to talk with him as it is presented by everyone in the media)

[@kevinedwards2869]

These guys mind set is stupidity. Fix dak Prescott in what way? The man is a all pro that has the least support. Never had a losing season. And one of the best quarterbacks in Dallas history and you have morons blaming dak for winning games . This guy Tim cowlishaw praised cooper rush and slams dak Prescott. Madness.

[@chuckhickey9721]

Have you watched Dak in the PLAYOFFS🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@Thatfantasyfootballchick]

@@chuckhickey9721 usually the Dallas team shrinks in the playoffs- he doesn't rise up during the playoffs but he hasn't had a stinker like Herbert or Love just put out

[@derekgilbert2884]

Dallas cowboys problems is Jerry Jones and Dak Prescott sit more time on beach need more trying play QB image that he never did.

[@SenorJuan2023]

Dak is 32? Doesn't seem like he's been in the league that long.

[@JosephCraven-v6k]

If they Kelmore they the biggest circus on earth

[@danfrakes5871]

Mike take Prescott with you. Prescott is such a great guy. Wirh him we will win the Toliet Bowl. 😊😊😊😊

[@johnward8064]

McCarthy is a mediocre coach. The Bears can do better.

[@surfermx]

Now fire Dak Prescott ! Pleaseeee

[@Thatfantasyfootballchick]

FYI it is 150m cap hit to release Dak and 100m if they trade Dak so Dak is staying

[@BarARanchMason]

Kliff Kingsbury would be a good choice

[@neohuerta713]

Not if he isn't a yes Jerry guy

[@tacotom3492]

No.. he's trash

[@woodstocknation1961]

Mike McCarthy ruined the Cowboys team. They will have to rebuild

[@Thatfantasyfootballchick]

no he didn't- they overachieved while he was there. Even this past season - they should not have won 7 games

[@FroggyStyle-x4v]

Maybe it was that red head QB white English guy who lost all those football games.
