Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy sent a letter to disgruntled “America’s Team” supporters on Thursday morning, just hours after discovering that the team owner will continue to support him for an additional year.
The coach remarked, “We have an incredible fan base,” following the team’s third consecutive early loss from the NFL playoffs. “They ought to feel let down.”
However, he continued, “We have a championship programme in place. Simply put, there isn’t a global championship yet.I understand how to prevail. We are going to cross that line. I am standing here today because I am completely confident.
McCarthy reported that Jones and he had a meeting on Wednesday afternoon that lasted more than three hours during which they “talked about a number of topics,” starting with the disappointment of the season’s conclusion and going through “pretty much everything in the football programme.
McCarthy said the conversation included Jones “asking all the hard questions,” adding when quizzed by CowboysSI.com as to whether he entered the meeting with some trepidation about his job future, “I was in the moment.
In addition, he stated, “I’ve been asked this for 20 years,” in reference to his lame-duck situation as he approaches his fifth and final contractual year without any indication of an extension—clearly Jones’s prior intention. I have never discussed player or coaching contracts, and I’m not going to start now. I wasn’t here looking for a job. My goal in coming here was to win a title.
We also inquired about potential themes from this team’s noteworthy defeats to the 49ers, Bills, and Packers with the Cowboys coach. McCarthy claimed that every loss “is different,” but he also suggested that more research is necessary.
McCarthy revealed that he is “still raw right now. I’m still a little bit numb.” But he clearly intended to use this presser to send a positive message.
I know the man I am and I know the coach I am,” he said. “We’re just getting started.”
And Cowboys Nation is left wondering about its “buy-in” investment level.
