Insiders Assess Mike McCarthy's Job Security in Cascade of Blame, Gripes, Losses

The Dallas Cowboys are a mess.

In recent days, anonymous players griped to Jane Slater of NFL Network that the coaching staff is unprepared. Head coach Mike McCarthy publicly called out his players' commitment after none of them rushed to confront Washington's Jon Bostic after his illegal hit on quarterback Andy Dalton. Team owner Jerry Jones lost his temper during his weekly 105.3 The Fan appearance while arguing against the notion that these Cowboys lack leadership.

All of this frustration spilling out into the public sphere is an obvious sign of an unhealthy team culture.
