Dak Prescott publicly campaigned for the Cowboys to retain Mike McCarthy as head coach. He didn’t get his wish.
The Cowboys announced Monday that they and McCarthy were parting ways after five seasons.
So, Prescott will be playing for his third head coach next season.
Prescott called McCarthy “a great coach and a hell of a man.”
“Disappointed, because we built things“, Prescott said in a text to ALL DLLS’ Clarence Hill. “But I guess they couldn’t come to an agreement. SMH.”
Prescott only played eight games in 2024 before a season-ending torn hamstring, but the Cowboys were 3-5 with Prescott and 4-5 without him.
Prescott told Hill he takes “responsibility for our team being in this position.”
The Cowboys now begin the process of replacing McCarthy.
“That’s the deal,” Prescott said. “I look forward to the future plan.”
