There is only one way to determine an answer: Football Court
3 straight 12-5 finishes in the regular season.
We talk about how unfair it is that the Lions fired Caldwell when he was 9-7 in the prior two seasons, I can't really say that and say they SHOULD fire a guy who went 12-5 three straight seasons.
Even guaranteeing getting Belichick or Vrabel, who I agree are both better coaches than McCarthy, there would be a step back as they retool to fit the plans of those new coaches. They might not have the time.
Dak is getting a huge contract after 2024, who knows who will be a cap casualty after that. This might be the last year of peak power Cowboys.
So yes he is worse than some available coaches but also I get why they're keeping him.
12-5 with that roster is disgustingly underachieving.
The playoff performance and the insane lack of adjustments specifically in the playoff game should have had him fired even if the regular season wasnt also a disappointment.
