Let me get this straight: Jerry Jones let everyone think Mike McCarthy might be a lame duck in order to keep other teams from rushing Dan Quinn, because if they knew how hard the Cowboys were working to keep their defensive coordinator, someone surely would have hired him. Quinn, that is. Wow. Even for your intrepid reporter, an expert in Jerry’s native tongue after more than 30 years of intensive study, this is Greek.
Whenever Jerry resorts to this level of obfuscation, it usually means he’s covering his tracks.
Frankly, if McCarthy can’t see that his boss now has a replacement in the building and another on the couch if he doesn’t better prepare the Cowboys for a deep playoff run next season, he’s got more problems than we thought.
