History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes. And the 2020 Cowboys season is rhyming really well with the 2010 Cowboys season. Both teams entered as strong Super Bowl contenders, struggled out of the gate, and then became deflated when their franchise quarterback went down for the year. Reports that Wade Phillips lost the locker room during the 1-7 start led to his ousting at the midway point, and it seems players on the current squad are already questioning their head coach as well.
But Mike McCarthy isn’t new to this, His entire 13-year tenure in Green Bay involved their franchise quarterback glaring at him on the sidelines and constantly sparring with him in a passive aggressive manner.
