Mike McCarthy understands that the Dallas Cowboys need to improve

The head coach further reassured the fans that he realizes the team is not where it should be at this point in the season and that they are doing everything to ensure the second half is more successful.

We’re not where we want to be. That’s clear, and that’s ultimately my responsibility and I’m fully aware of that. We’re very diligent. We’re on top of what we want to do.

Mike McCarthy added

His soft response was not surprising. Jerry Jones threw him under the bus and the head coach had no option but to get run over.

Jerry Jones has not been happy with the performance of the Dallas Cowboys this season. The loss to the Detroit Pistons was the tipping point for him. On his most recent appearance on 105.3 The Fan, Jerry Jones expressed displeasure at Mike McCarthy’s playcalling.

The types of things that we all think we should be looking at is we’re designing bad plays, or we’re designing bad concepts.

Jerry Jones stated

In many ways, this should be taken as a warning to McCarthy that if he is not able to get Dallas to the playoffs, he should find another job.

It has been a concerning season for Dallas. It all started with a lackluster off-season wherein the team failed to make significant upgrades to its roster. Once the year began, the Cowboys’ defense got exposed early on as Mike Zimmer’s squad failed to do anything about the run game. The offense has not lived up to the expectations either, with Dak Prescott showing glaring inconsistency in his performance and leaving CeeDee Lamb averaging over 5 helpless facial expressions per game.
