I don’t envision the outcome of this game impacting either coach’s job one way or the other. I know Jerry Jones said an extension remained possible for Mike McCarthy, but c’mon. You can’t bring him back. It’s clear the Cowboys have reached their ceiling under McCarthy’s direction. There’s too much talent on that roster for Dallas to continually underachieve as they have on his watch.
I would keep Brian Daboll, though. I believe he’s a good coach. He displayed great creativity while serving as Buffalo’s offensive coordinator. Daniel Jones was just awful, and GM Joe Schoen’s decision to let Saquon Barkley walk also hampered Daboll’s efforts. There’s not a lot of top-flight talent on that roster. I would get rid of Schoen, but keep Daboll and give him more time while working to fix that roster.
