Micah Parsons ripped Mike McCarthy during blistering rant about failing veteran players

In case you missed it, the Cowboys are cooked, and now players are unintentionally — perhaps intentionally — throwing head coach Mike McCarthy under the bus.

Anything that could go wrong for America’s team seemingly has this season. The Cowboys are a mess from week to week, Dak Prescott’s on injured reserve, and when he’s not making weird trades, owner Jerry Jones is making nonsensical arguments about the sun at AT&T Stadium.

After an ugly loss to the Eagles, linebacker Micah Parsons was asked about Mike McCarthy’s future, as those questions will inevitably start if they haven’t already. Parsons attempted to express his disappointment about how the team is failing its veterans but ripped McCarthy during a blistering rant. Here’s what he said (See the 4:24 mark of the video below):

“You know that’s above my paygrade on if Mike is coaching again next year…Mike can leave and go wherever he wants but [the] guys I kind of feel bad for — guys like Zack Martin. Guys who might be in their last year on their way out, you know, because that’s who I wanted to hold the trophy for.”

“You want to win games and do great things with those type of legends who put in more time and work [than] Mike McCarthy ever did. So, those are the kind of guys that I have so much sympathy and hurt for.”
