With Bill Belichick taking the head coaching job at the University of North Carolina and the Cowboys playing hard over the last few weeks, all signs are pointing to Mike McCarthy getting a 6th season as head coach in Dallas. But does he really bring a coaching advantage to the team? K&C discuss the last time they felt the Cowboys had a coaching advantage week in and week out.

00:00Corey, you came up with this idea and you pitched it out and I liked it because it's
00:20a great idea, but I also hated it because the answer I had was not super positive.
00:25When is the last time you felt like the Cowboys had a distinct coaching advantage?
00:28What led you to this?
00:30Well, you've talked about this for years.
00:34Let's go back to 2010, I believe was when we, well, 2011, let's say, Jason Garrett.
00:40You didn't feel like with him and Rob Ryan that you had a coaching advantage.
00:45And so every year I've been like, okay, we do, we don't, we do, we don't.
00:49And I was just kind of curious this year, you don't feel like your coaching staff has
00:55been a difference maker for your team.
00:57If your team is, everything's good and everything's even across the board, can your coaching
01:03staff out coach the guys on the other side of the field?
01:06And for some reason, I don't think so.
01:08I don't feel like it's been a while, but when I asked you this, you actually said it was
01:12sooner than I thought.
01:14So my answer was last year, but it was last year for somebody who ain't here anymore.
01:21That's right.
01:22And so it was Dan Quinn.
01:23And that's why I kind of hated your question too, because I thought, well, that's not a
01:27good sign.
01:28If I was like, oh yeah, it was just last year, but as a coach that went away and is now coaching
01:32another team in the division that is better than you or has a better record than you.
01:38And so that's what was concerning to me is my immediate thought was nothing from the
01:42Mike McCarthy era, which maybe people think that's unfair to him.
01:46But my thought was it was Dan Quinn the last couple of years and the turnover factory that
01:52this defense was, I felt like they could scheme to anybody and force the turnovers
01:57when you really needed them.
01:58Not Mike McCarthy.
