Rich Eisen Reacts to the Cowboys & Mike McCarthy Finally Starting Up His New Contract Negotiations

50 comments

1. Doing interviews during the playoffs shouldn’t happen.

2. I would love Mccarthy to leave, for the drama of it.

3. No one else on this planet will work for Jerry. Mike should wait until after Tuesday to see what other teams would pay.

4. It's the CowZombies Man !

5. It doesn’t matter who coaches the Cowboys as long as Jerra is the GM. They will do what they have done for the last 29 years, lose big when the season is on the line.

6. Well, Jerry staying on as GM in his senility, and keeping McCarthy as HC, don't have to worry about the Cowboys winning a Super Bowl for a while.

7. JJ signed Prescott, no way he’d not extend McCarthy! No guts no glory!

8. It feels like Jerry is waiting till the end of the wildcard weekend to see who is available to interview before he settles for keeping McCarthy. Problem is, the Cowboys job isn't better than almost any of the current openings, especially because of the Owner/GM. If he wanted to keep who he has, he wouldn't have denied the Bears an interview, and would have had an extension signed by now. McCarthy is going to be the settling pick, but Jerry will tell us he wanted him all along and no one else.

9. This is great news for the rest of the league.😂

10. I can’t believe the Bears wanted to interview McCarthy, and I can’t believe the Cowboys would want to keep McCarthy.

11. Mike McCarthy living off that Aaron Rodgers Superbowl and has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt via his Dallas tenure that he had nothing to do with winning that Superbowl.

12. All In 2.0

13. The people who say "wah wah stop talking about the cowboys" are so silly. I'm not a cowboys fan and in fact I hate Jerry Jones but rich talks about the NFL and the cowboys have a lot going on. It's just how it is.

14. I dunno, considering the seasons they've had, I don't know of the coach was the real problem. I think the QB them in QB purgatory, but in a different way. He's good enough that it's really hard to say, this ain't the dude, and go back to the draft or free agency. Look at Alex Smith and the Chiefs. They were winning a lot of games, making the playoffs, and they draft a QB while trading up to do it. The season before Mahomes takes over, Alex Smith has an MVP worthy season. You realize the balls it takes to tell fans, our starting QB who just had an MVP worthy season is being shipped off so we can start what most draft evaluators thought was a project QB. They didn't go the Greenbay route of draft him then he sits for three years, it was one year, one start, LFG.

15. Why does Rich talk at 0.50x, sometimes 0.75x speed??? Does he stretch out his speech to fill the three hours?? 😂

16. Senility is a tragedy. Jerry and old Joe need to sit TF down and eat rice pudding together.

17. 6:51 Yeah, especially considering the number of times you've also said that Derrick Henry was seemingly born to be a Baltimore Raven.

18. Either sign him or let him go, Jerry. Why does the contract expire next week. If they had made the playoffs and advanced to the divisional round and he's unsigned, could he have walked?

19. As a former Cowboys fan, I hope McCarthy waits out his contract and makes Jerry Jones pay up or gives him the finger when leaving to coach elsewhere. Just like certain national politicians Jerry should have retired and let someone else run things a long time ago.

20. 2 min left. OSU up by 14 over Texas. It appears Sark maybe available in short order.

21. I like the show but the job security analogy was completely tone deaf. The vast majority of people in this country don’t have job security-why should people feel sorry for a multi million dollar coach…he will be just fine

22. You got Jason Garrett like, "So you think there's a chance?"

23. Sometimes really, REALLY rich guys get weird when they get old. Jerry is the new Crypt Keeper of the NFL. Like Al Davis in his last decade or so, he's making terrible decisions frequently and consistently, spending even more time fooling around listening to himself ramble in the media, and he's steadily turning into a zombie right before our eyes.

24. Love that Rich keeps talking about the Cowboys. This chatter takes the place of all that talk about when Brett Favor will retire.

25. Sign McFatty to 10 years 200 million.
    Sign Dik Mascot to 10 years 600 million.
    Keep the losing and comedy going for a decade!
    I love it!

26. Jerry likes the drama. By waiting until the last minute, he gets to be in the headlines longer. Totally horrible way to operate, especially when it comes to star player contracts and the salary cap.

27. Last year of contract: Anxiety over uncertainty?
    The usual story line among players is to have a break out year to maximize market value.
    Coaches, don't they usually get extensions to lock the coach in?

28. If Jerry wasn't also the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, he would have been fired as the general manager decades ago. It's amazing the Cowboys have been an above average team all this time as Jerry wheels and deals his way by both over paying and under paying talent with nothing more to show for it as they haven't been to a Super Bowl or even a conference championship since the early 90s.

29. Mike McCarthy should take a year off. Enjoy life.

30. He gets leveraged on the situation. Sure, he loses the opportunity to hire a different coach but he gains the advantage of holding McCarthy hostage and giving him limited options. "Agree to my terms to renegotiate your contract or be fired." It would be a hollow threat as he doesn't have other options if McCarthy doesn't call his bluff.

31. As long as they get a new DC and a new OC I'm ok with it would be dope to get robert Salah as DC

32. God bless Jerry Jones 🤩

33. Jerry doing Jerry things …. keeping the Cowboys relevant through SUPER wildcard weekend the only way he can

34. Rich… thr playoffs are more important right now than the cowboys trolling for headlines

35. This tells me that Jerry couldn’t get anyone else.

36. Jerry Jones knows that if he waits until the last minute, the media will talk about the Cowboys.

37. They need at least 2 more playmakers on offense

38. Jerry is ONLY in the hall of fame for his financial contributions to the game. Otherwise what’s he ever done to be inducted? Why isn’t Kraft in the hall of fame? He’s a real winner

39. Jerry is a publicity master mind. Look how many shows are talking about the Cowboys. Wait have the playoffs started?

40. Never quitting and never being prepared for the big game are two different things

41. I think the only NFL owner who legit hates his team’s fanbase more than Arthur Blank HAS to be Jerrah Jones.

    They are both CEOs who run their teams like corporations and see head coaches as middle management figures. Corporations, as you know, so not win Super Bowls; football teams do.

42. Mike is not going anywhere

43. Jerry likes Mike McCarthy because he knows he can treat him like crap and he'll just take it, and say nothing.

44. Won a SB in 2010, 7 seasons later he was fired (Rodgers wanted him out), 15 seasons later he’s still losing. Good news if he stays no one else will get stuck in dysfunctional “Jerryland”. Dak has 2 years to go before he gets to ask Jerry to fire Mike. Expect a 2 year extension.

45. Why is everyone a Mccarthy lover even this show

46. Jerry is a JOKE 😂😢😂😢😂😢😂😢

47. It always makes me laugh when people talk about NFL coaches/players and how they don't give up even when they don't know about their job security as if the rest of the world has any job security while making 1/1000th of the money.

48. Much like Amazon , I'm boycotting any Cowboys stories till week one of next year. As Nic said once.."see ya!!!"

49. And then Jerry told him who to play and when to play them, that’s why Zeke got so many carries

50. McCarthy put his house up for sale back in July. In early November this past year, a buyer was found but the deal fell through and the house was taken off the market. Reasons as to why are unknown. This could be the reason.
