But, these pros are real people, too, and that means they have very real emotions. In that spirit, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is opening up about having some very real emotions about how the team is doing this season.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with the Dallas Morning News\u2019 David Moore in a November 20 feature, Prescott dished on the current, disappointing Cowboys season and how he\u2019s feeling on and off the field.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Dak Prescott Says a \u2018Couple of Tears Came Down\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking with Moore, Prescott referred to getting engaged and starting a family as high points in his year but the Cowboys season being a low point.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOff the field, it\u2019s been some of the most joyous times I ever could have imagined,\u201d Prescott commented. \u201cBut then on the football field, it\u2019s probably been as tough of a season as I\u2019ve ever had. I\u2019d probably say the toughest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Right now, Prescott can\u2019t help the Cowboys, because he\u2019s sidelined with an injury. He underwent season-ending injury, which owner Jerry Jones announced on November 12.<\/p>\n<p>He told Moore that at one point, it all hit him and he even teared up about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe other day, after the game, I guess, it all just hit me,\u201d Prescott said. \u201cBoom, right. A couple of tears came down\u2026 This is going to hurt. It\u2019s going to suck at times. You just have to understand this is one of the moments that it does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prescott also gave a bit of a timeline for recovering, saying that he\u2019s hoping to get off crutches and start working out his legs again before Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a future. I know which direction I\u2019m headed in,\u201d Prescott said. \u201cI know I will be faster, stronger and better than I ever have by the way I will attack this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for now, Cooper Rush has been acting as the Cowboys\u2019 main quarterback, and they\u2019re on a losing streak with a 3-7 record. Their next game is Sunday, November 24, against the Washington Commanders.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Who Will Coach the Cowboys in 2025?<\/h2>\n<p>While Prescott will be back in 2025, chances are Cowboys head coach probably Mike McCarthy won\u2019t. Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is still a favorite to take McCarthy\u2019s place.<\/p>\n<p>Jones loves to make a splash in just about everything he does, and there isn\u2019t a bigger splash in the NFL coaching ranks these days than bringing on Belichick,\u201d NFL writer and expert Tom Dierberger of Sports Illustrated stated in a November 23 piece on landing spots for Belichick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems like a near certainty that Mike McCarthy will not return as head coach next season,\u201d added Mike Chiari of Bleacher Report, \u201cand while Belichick would likely love to coach up top-end talent such as quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and pass-rusher Micah Parsons, it is fair to wonder how the dynamic between Belichick and owner Jerry Jones would work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not so fast, tough. According to The Athletic\u2019s Dianna Russini in a November 23 piece, the Jaguars are seen as the team most likely to hire Belichick among 10 coaches and executives polled.<\/p>\n<p>Anne Erickson Anne Erickson is an award-winning reporter covering the NFL and college football for Heavy.com.
