Can someone explain to me how Mccarthy is so lowly regarded by NFL media? I heard at least 3 different outlets absolutely slautering him today AFTER A BIG WIN.
The narrative is this team is winning in spite of his bumbling and the Dak/Moore/Quinn combo is the true coaching staff. Mccarthy is basically a non contributor.
I dont get it. I never paid much attention to him but he has a great track record in particular with QB development. My perception is this team is playing hard and they seem well prepared. A lot of subs have come in and played well. That mindset and that sense of preparation is coaching in my book. I think too many focus on stuff like play calling and timeouts when that's such a small percentage of the job.
That being said, if he's bumbling I never saw it. What are these giant mistakes he's been making?
He's made his share of mistakes with clock management at end of half/ games, none of which have cost them the game. Something every coach in the nfl has had their struggles with. And I agree he's criminally underrated as a HC. Has been his entire career. Any other coach leading the cowboys to a 5-1 start would be in coach of the year conversations.
Do you have an example? I know last year he got a little carried away with 4th downs and punt fakes. But this season I haven't had many complaints.
