Mike McCarthy
The Dallas Cowboys have a lot riding on their shoulders this year, their roster is filled with players who have a lot to prove personally and more so as a team. Dak Prescott has to show that he is worth his money and he has to deal with the loss of Amari Cooper, a go-to wide receiver who always showed up in clutch moments. RB Ezekiel Elliott might be in the best shape of his life but his popularity is not, Zeke is yet to prove that he was worth his massive RB contract.
More than the players there is another individual who is on the hot seat this year, Head Coach Mike McCarthy who once won a Super Bowl as the HC of the Green Bay Packers with Aaron Rodgers as quarterback. McCarthy has been subject to a lot of ridicule ever since he arrived as the Cowboys new coach. His reactions on the sidelines have become popular owing to the fact that he looks confused almost always and his reputation as a bad leader does not help his cause either.

The Dallas Cowboys have recorded 266 penalties under Mike McCarthy’s leadership:
NFL insider and ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum does not like the Dallas Cowboys chance this season and believes that their Head Coach Mike McCarthy is on the clock, and if he does not deliver this season, he is likely to lose his job. The Cowboys are still struggling with their issues of committing too many penalties in their first preseason game where they committed 17 of them.
Tannenbaum had some harsh words for Mike McCarthy following their first pre-season game and those brushing aside the Cowboys performance citing its their first game, “If I’m Jerry Jones, I would say, ‘Coach McCarthy at the end of the year, we gave you the answers to the test that if these self-inflicted wounds do not change, we are not firing you, you are firing yourself.'” Mike Tannenbaum expects that if McCarthy does not get his act together, he risks losing his job in the middle of the season.
“This is a team that should be able to compete with Philadelphia. When you can’t handle the clock and you lead the nation in penalties, it is unacceptable. They’re not going to fire Mike McCarthy, he’s going to fire himself,” Tannenbaum concludes.
McCarthy most certainly is on the hot seat this season, his performance will determine if he sticks around as the Head Coach or if Jerry Jones will need to take yet another failure under his belt. Jones was the one who wanted McCarthy because of his Super Bowl stint with the Packers.
