Will Mike McCarthy be asked to turn in his badge early? Craig Kirton certainly seems to think so.
Fox Sports' shock jock personality is furious that the Dallas Cowboys are named at the top of the list in the latest Super Bowl odds, with the Pokes second in the NFC behind the San Francisco 49ers (+1300) I ended up having a high chance (+1300). 500). This didn't sit well with Carton, who believes the Cowboys could be in for a rocky period after a quiet offseason.
“I wouldn't say the Cowboys are any closer to winning a Super Bowl than the Cincinnati Bengals. Well, they're not any better than the (New York) Jets in terms of winning a Super Bowl.” Carton said on his eponymous show on Tuesday. “They're not better than the (Philadelphia) Eagles or the Detroit Lions in terms of wins.”
Carton acknowledged co-host and former NFL blocker Willie Colon's belief that a non-extended CeeDee Lamb could pave the way for an offensive breakout. But he also said that the team as currently constructed has done little to change things after recent postseason disappointments, but since 2020, “everyone can fail.” , also claims that this could turn into the franchise's first completely losing season.
Carton claims head coach McCarthy could be fired mid-season. Colon asked if that meant McCarthy could be fired midway through the season, and Carton said that possibility was “on the table.”
“We're in a crisis,” Carton said, acknowledging that the shortcomings of the divisive rivals in New York and Washington could be a lifesaver. “I think this year's season for the Dallas Cowboys can go as easily as it can go.”
Carton doesn't actually have any information here. The Facts? Dallas, led by Jerry Jones, has been particularly reluctant to fire coaches during the season, having done so only once in more than 60 years (Wade Phillips in 2010). However, missing out on the championship along with the current main players will definitely provide grounds for evaluating McCarthy's situation sooner than expected.
