It’s been said over and over that the Dallas Cowboys are a poorly-run organization. It’s been like that for years, as the team pretty much does whatever its owner Jerry Jones says regardless of anything else.

That’s why Jason Garrett wasn’t fired before. That’s why they didn’t keep Dez Bryant or DeMarco Murray, and that’s why they couldn’t sign a contract extension with Dak Prescott before he suffered that gruesome injury.

Nonetheless, some people around the NFL expect Jones to be way less patient with new coach Mike McCarthy, whose job has left a lot to be desired for America’s Team. In fact, some speculate McCarthy could be a ‘one-and-done’.

That’s why the often-controversial and outspoken executive didn’t hesitate to shut that narrative down, having his coaches’ back and claiming that he’s yet to have any kind of discussion of conversation regarding the early termination of their business relationship:

“Not one time, not one time have I been in any discussion, had any dream, been sitting by myself, have I given a thought to anything but Mike McCarthy being our coach next year, and being our coach in the future,” Jones said on his radio show.

“How in the hell something like that could get going with a conversation with Stephen or anybody else about whether McCarthy is going to be the coach or not is ridiculous,” he concluded.

Then again, we’ve already heard these kinds of things and executives still fire their underperforming coaches anyway, and McCarthy has done little to help his case even before Prescott’s injury.

At the end of the day, the Cowboys need to do a deep soul searching if they want to go back to being that dominant team they once were, and maybe McCarthy isn’t the right guy to lead them to the top.
