I love how some people in this fan base keep saying, “Cowboys fans wanted Mike McCarthy fired, so this is what y’all get!” Hold on now. COME ON WITH IT! TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE AT THE SAME TIME! First of all, according to the Cowboys’ own front office, Mike McCarthy wasn’t technically fired. His contract expired, and both sides agreed to move in different directions. But here’s where the argument falls apart. If #Cowboys fans had every right to campaign for Mike McCarthy to be replaced, why don’t those same fans have the right to demand a higher-caliber head coach? You can’t have it both ways! Show me this massive campaign where Cowboys fans were pounding the table, demanding that Brian Schottenheimer become the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. WHERE WAS THAT CAMPAIGN? I certainly don’t remember it! Wanting a change at head coach does NOT mean accepting whoever the front office decides to hire without question. And let me make something perfectly clear: Brian Schottenheimer IS our head coach. We want him to succeed. We want him to win. Because when he wins, the Dallas Cowboys win! But supporting the coach doesn’t mean we have to ignore his shortcomings, excuse questionable decisions, or lower our standards. We can support Brian Schottenheimer AND hold him accountable. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. And one last thing… THE FANS DIDN’T HIRE BRIAN SCHOTTENHEIMER. THE FRONT OFFICE DID! So stop holding the fan base responsible for a hiring decision we never made. STAND TALL OR NOT AT ALL! ☆ — Law Nation Sports
