Mike McCarthy is entering a pretty big year.
“I would anticipate we will be all in at the end of this year.”
Just a little over seven months ago, Jerry Jones delivered the above quote, which immediately sent Cowboys fans into a frenzy. That frenzy has continued pretty much all offseason, as the Cowboys hardly made any moves that would be considered “going all in.”
In fact, the Cowboys’ offseason, following a disappointing and embarrassing loss to the Packers in the playoffs, has been marked by what they haven’t done. Dak Prescott remains unsigned beyond this year, and Mike McCarthy will also be coaching on the final year of his contract. So, too, will newly hired defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. All of it screams dysfunction from the outside looking in.
Lost in the headline of “all in” were the other comments Jones made that day in late January, specifically regarding his head coach.
