The news that Mike McCarthy is staying on as Cowboys head coach is not sitting well with fans or with a lot of observers within the footballverse. McCarthy’s line Thursday about the Cowboys’ “championship program” struck many as out of touch, and Jerry Jones’s decision to stick with what’s comfortable somehow makes a sixth Super Bowl seem even further away. Add in McCarthy’s statements about Dak Prescott and a sneaking suspicion that even Dan Quinn will be back has Cowboys Nation feeling like it’s going to be lather/rinse/repeat in 2024.
Elsewhere, one member of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders has come out with an accusation that several Packers players got in the squad’s faces in a disrespectful way during Sunday’s game. And the ghost of Tony Romo seems to have resurrected itself wearing the Cowboys’ No. 4 jersey. We’re looking at how the playoff loss was a boon to TV ratings… but does it just prove that it’s become about all the wrong things in Dallas? We’re still wrapping our heads around what went wrong on the field, we’re prepping for a different kind of championship on the field at AT&T, and we’re mocking offensive help to be on the field for next season. All that, plus a lot more, in this edition of News and Notes.
