After many days of doubt, Mike McCarthy is finally out of the Dallas Cowboys head coaching position after ending his contract in the final of the 2024 NFL season. Micah Parsons is one of the key players of The America’s Team and broke his silence to share his toughs about the situation.

The relationship between Parsons and McCarthy had ups and downs throughout the year, with some blunt statements from the linebacker about McCarthy’s driving, when he said that “Mike can leave and go wherever he wants. It’s above my pay grade whether he comes back to coach next year or not”.

However, some time later, with the season ending in disappointment for the Cowboys, Parsons’ opinion no longer seems so bereft. As it turns out, the Dallas franchise figure sent a clear message to express that he is concerned about the coaching change.
