Quarterback Dak Prescott expressed disappointment over the Dallas Cowboys' decision to part ways with head coach Mike McCarthy. Prescott, speaking to ALL DLLS, shared his dismay, stating he was "bummed, because we built some things... but I guess they couldn’t reach an agreement." The quarterback had previously voiced strong support for McCarthy, emphasizing his belief in the coach's abilities and desire for him to continue leading the team.
McCarthy's five-season tenure with the Cowboys resulted in a commendable 84-49 regular season record, including three straight 12-5 seasons. However, playoff success proved elusive, with only one postseason victory during his time in Dallas. The 2024 season saw the Cowboys finish 7-10, hampered by injuries to key players, including Prescott himself, who missed significant time due to hamstring surgery.
Owner Jerry Jones, while acknowledging McCarthy's positive contributions, explained that a joint review of the team's performance led to the mutual decision for a change in leadership. Jones' statement emphasized the thorough evaluation process and the ultimate conclusion that parting ways was in the best interest of both parties.
As the Cowboys embark on their search for a new head coach, Prescott is poised to enter his tenth season with the franchise, now under his third head coach. This transition marks another chapter in the Cowboys' ongoing quest for sustained success and a return to Super Bowl contention.
