“Fine, I’ll do it myself.” We’ll never know for sure if the iconic words of Thanos were on Mike McCarthy’s mind, or if the Cowboys head coach even knows who Thanos is, when he made the decision to take over calling the plays on offense from Kellen Moore, but the sentiment is the same.
McCarthy has undeniably accomplished a lot in his short time in Dallas. He just led the franchise to consecutive 12-win seasons for the first time since Barry Switzer’s first two years on the job (1994-1995). The Cowboys reached the postseason in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2006-2007, and McCarthy himself became the first Cowboys coach to do so since Chan Gailey in the late 90’s.
