KRLD-FM / 105.3 The Fan

We've hit the Cowboys' offseason, and Mike McCarthy's status as Cowboys head coach is very much up in the air. ESPN's Todd Archer joined Shan & RJ in the wake of the team's season finale to discuss the reasons for and against keeping McCarthy, who the Cowboys might have interest in if they move on, and more.

00:00Todd, make the case for McCarthy to return and make the case that they should move on.

00:20Well, 49 and 35, you know, they do play hard.

00:27He's had success in this division, against divisions of foes, even in quote-unquote

00:31bad years.

00:35You look at what the offense did, maybe not this year, obviously, but last year leading

00:39the NFL in points, those would be the cases for, but then against is he was brought here

00:46in 2020 to do what Jason Garrett couldn't do.

00:49He had five years to get it done and he didn't do it.

00:52I mean, at what point is enough enough?

00:56And I think that's, I don't think the reason to bring him back is, well, who else are you

01:01going to get?

01:02That shouldn't be the, that could be like the eighth reason to bring him back, but not

01:06like the first or second, right?

01:09I mean, is there a great pool of candidates right now where everybody would say, well,

01:14that guy's certainly going to be better than Mike McCarthy?

01:16I don't know.

01:18That may be variable because his track record in Tennessee, we saw what's happened to them

01:22since he's left.

01:25Maybe he'd be a guy that, that would, you'd say, okay, that will be better.

01:28There'll be better organized.

01:29There'll be up on situational football, all that kind of stuff.

01:33But everybody else, who would you say automatically say that's an upgrade?

01:40I'm actually asking the question.
