The Dallas Cowboys have decided to retain Mike McCarthy as their head honcho for the 2024 season despite his track record of postseason belly-flops. This decision lands after the team's third consecutive disappointing exit from the playoff race. McCarthy's crew was sent packing this season after a gut-wrenching loss to the Green Bay Packers, igniting a firestorm of controversy amongst fans and pundits alike.
Wednesday's reveal that Mike McCarthy is sticking around left more than a few eyebrows raised sky-high. Dallas has a maddening habit of racking up an impressive regular season only to crumple when the stakes are sky-high. It's like Groundhog Day, but with more shoulder pads and less Bill Murray. After losing to the San Francisco 49ers not once, but twice in the past playoffs, the word "insanity" is getting thrown around more than a pigskin in the Cowboys' locker room. This tidbit came courtesy of MSN Sports, quoting the slightly cliched but ever-so-fitting definition of insanity.
On the flip side of the pigskin, one thing most can agree on is that quarterback Dak Prescott has become a beacon of predictability, though not the kind that warms the cockles of a Cowboy fan's heart. His tendency to toss picks in playoff games has become as expected as traffic in Times Square. FOX San Antonio did not mince words when it talked about the déjà vu and the sinking feeling that "The Cowboys will never win an NFC championship let alone a Super Bowl with Dak Prescott as their quarterback."
