A report surfaced on Tuesday that Dallas Cowboys players have been bashing head coach Mike McCarthy and his coaching staff behind their backs.
The Cowboys are 2-4 on the season and coming off a blowout loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6 in the first game without star quarterback Dak Prescott.
During his media session on Tuesday, McCarthy spoke about the damaging report, via Pro Football Talk:
“Well, I mean, first off, I haven’t heard any of those type of discussions,” Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said on a conference call with reporters.
“I think like a lot of things when you hit a part of your season, or any challenge where there is negativity out there and where it comes from and who it comes from, that’s something that I’ve never chased. I think you do have to recognize it. I just really go back to my first meeting with the football team. I’ve always stated that . . . it’s important to handle things as men. I mean, if you do have something to say publicly that is of most important, I think it’s important to say it to the individual, or particularly in a group dynamic setting, especially in the game of football, especially for the Dallas Cowboys. I mean, that’s all part of the development our program, of the system that we’ve got going here. I think that’s just part of our flight right now. We don’t like the way we played last night. We had some areas that we struggled strong in. It’s definitely not what we’re looking for.”
There's a chance the Cowboys could finish the 2020 season with the worst defense in NFL history if things don't change quickly. This is certainly not how McCarthy envisioned his first season with the Cowboys going after taking the 2019 campaign off.
The Cowboys are back in action in Week 7 against the lowly Washington Football team. Dallas has to win that game since Washington is one of the worst teams in the NFL on both sides of the ball.
