It’s not been an easy debut season for Mike McCarthy in Texas. The Dallas Cowboys Head Coach led his team to a 2-5 record ahead of yet another loss on Sunday night at the hands of NFC East rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Jerry Jones-owned franchise succumbed to a 23-9 loss at the Lincoln Financial Field. The third-string quarterback in Ben DiNucci failed to impress on his first start for the Cowboys.
This sub-par outing has left the Head Coach vulnerable to a lot of flak. Can he bring about a turnaround in his team’s fortunes in the second half of the season?

Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy not dwelling on Sunday’s loss
Mike McCarthy’s first #Cowboys team reaches the midpoint of the season at 2-6. The only two coaches with worse starts in their first season as Dallas head coach: Tom Landry in 1960 and Jimmy Johnson in 1989. Both were 0-8.

McCarthy, unsurprisingly, painted a frustrated figure after last night’s loss to their divisional rivals. However, the former Green Bay Packers boss is not ready to sulk in light of recent results.
“Tough game tonight. A lot of improvement in a lot of areas. We need to rally and get together here and move on to Pittsburgh. But we took a step in the right direction in a number of areas,” coach McCarthy told Jon Machota.
The Cowboys are definitely missing their enigmatic quarterback Dak Prescott. An eye-grabbing statistic proves just how much Prescott was helping the Cowboys look good amidst their transition under the tutelage of their new coach.
