The Dallas Cowboys are in the midst of a disappointing season, sitting at 4-7 in the NFC East with starting quarterback Dak Prescott out for the season due to a torn hamstring that required surgery.
Due to another year destined to fall short of the lofty expectations in Dallas, most assumed that head coach Mike McCarthy was on the hot seat. It was a bit of a surprise that the Cowboys chose to keep McCarthy as the franchise's coach this season, and circumstances have led to the franchise posting a season to-date that is far short of what they hoped for.
