In a Yahoo Sports interview, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was asked for his thoughts about head coach Mike McCarthy returning next season. Dak said he feels somewhat helpless because he is out for the year due to injury and now, he may not get to play for his coach again. The hosts believe that Dak is genuine in his claims and is not just saying this for the media. Does McCarthy deserve another chance to coach this team next season? Or is it better for the franchise if they move on?

00:00Hashtag not my quarterback.
00:16Yep.
00:17There it is.
00:19Yesterday, Dak was doing some type of advertising campaign and hopped on a little video call
00:25with Yahoo Sports and was asked about Jerry Jones' comments on this show saying it wouldn't
00:33be crazy if Mike McCarthy got an extension.
00:36Here's Dak on his coach for now.
00:39Very fortunate to be coached by Jason Garrett and to be able to reference this year to that
00:43last year in 2019 with him.
00:46It's still control what I can control, help and support Mike to every extent that I can.
00:52Um, obviously it's unfortunate being hurt.
00:54Your coach seems like he's playing out his last contract and almost feeling like, you
00:58know, I can't help feeling helpless and helping him in this situation, especially a guy you
01:01believe in so much and you believe in being your head coach.
01:04Um, but, but it's just continue to keep our conversations and just be real and help him
01:09in any way, any way and help this team in any way that I can being the leader.
01:12Um, and obviously it's exciting when you see notes and comments Jerry makes about there
01:16being a possibility of re-signing the coach.
01:19All right.
01:20So I, I don't know how to take this.
01:28Well, this is different from Jerry, in my opinion, when, when we had that interview
01:32with Jerry, you know, Bobby and I were kind of talking behind the scenes and I was like,
01:36I think Jerry's going to answer it this way.
01:38I think he's going to go, no, that's not crazy because he doesn't make a practice of like
01:43ruling things out.
01:44He likes to keep things alive.
01:46This feels like much more of an endorsement.
01:49Not that Jerry's isn't again, we're like 1%, 2% that might comes back, but this one
01:55feels like it's absolutely legitimate and real.
01:58Not just saying it for the media that he wants Mike to stick around, Bob.
02:03Jerry's wasn't lobbying.
02:05Jerry's even said nothing about anything I've said, or my body language tells you which
02:10way I think, but like he went out of his way to just say, I'll leave anything open.
02:16Like it was just, I'm not closing any doors.
02:18This is a, this is, this is closing all other doors and saying at least publicly that one,
02:24like I want that one.
02:25Like, like there, there's no, there's no question from Dak on that one.
02:28Like Dak is just saying, this is what he wants now is Dak politicking or saying things cause
02:33he knows it's over or something else potentially.
02:36But when he says that, it sounds like that's what he wants.
