The Dallas Cowboys have one of the most passionate fan bases in all of sports. They’re consistently one of the highest grossing teams in the league and their logo is recognized world wide. When their players talk to the media, news outlets pay attention.
That was no different when Dak Prescott made it clear who he wants to be his head coach in 2025.
“What?!” Cowboys Fans Erupt After Dak Prescott Announces Who He Wants As HC In 2025
According to Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports:
Five guaranteed games remain on Mike McCarthy’s contract.
Dak Prescott hopes the Dallas Cowboys keep his head coach for more.
The Cowboys quarterback can’t meaningfully impact his team’s performance as he recovers from season-ending surgery to repair his hamstring tear. That bothers him.
“Your coach seems like he’s playing on his last contract and [I’m] almost feeling helpless like I can’t help him in this situation, especially a guy you believe in so much and you believe in being your head coach,” Prescott told Yahoo Sports during a Tuesday afternoon Zoom call. “Control what I can control, help and support Mike to every extent that I can.”
In nine seasons with the Cowboys, Prescott has played for two head coaches. He leans on his experience watching Jason Garrett coach the final year of his deal in 2019 to manage this season. Prescott said he was glad to hear team owner and general manager Jerry Jones say last week that it’s “not crazy” to consider McCarthy returning for a sixth season and beyond.
“I believe in him wholeheartedly,” Prescott said, speaking in partnership with DICK’S Sporting Goods. “I don’t want to necessarily get into the nuts and the screws of it all obviously, but I think he definitely deserves a chance — another contract and a chance to coach this team amongst more influence. ‘On his terms’ may be a good way to say it.
Dallas fans reacted quickly when they saw this:
