Michael Irvin believes the Dallas Cowboys should move on from Mike McCarthy as their head coach, and he shared why this week.<\/p>\n
Irvin was a guest on \u201cThe Herd with Colin Cowherd\u201d on Monday. The two talked about McCarthy\u2019s status as Dallas\u2019 head coach, and Irvin said he didn\u2019t think the Cowboys should bring back McCarthy. Unlike others who felt Dallas rallying to win four of five prior to the loss against the Eagles in Week 17, Irvin does not think that should have saved McCarthy\u2019s job.<\/p>\n
\u201cI still say it was too little too late,\u201d Irvin said bluntly.<\/p>\n
Irvin thinks the team needs another head coach because of a lack of discipline.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just think it\u2019s time to go in another direction. And I hear these late surge to stay with Mike McCarthy. I\u2019m not on that bandwagon. What I believe is this team needs more discipline. I\u2019m not saying Mike McCarthy is not a good coach, Xs and Os coach. But I think the team needs more disicpline,\u201d Irvin said.<\/em><\/p>\n Irvin believes McCarthy can\u2019t be the coach to turn around and be a disciplinarian now.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd it\u2019s hard to bring that in when you say, OK, this guy who doesn\u2019t have that firm hand in discipline is now going to either bring someone else in to help him with discipline. And that doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t come in soft and then try to get tough,\u201d Irvin said.<\/p>\n McCarthy has been the Cowboys\u2019 head coach for five seasons and is not under contract beyond this season. The team had three straight 12-5 seasons but did not get the results they were looking for in the playoffs. They fell off completely this season and have gone 7-9, with their Week 18 game against the Commanders pending.<\/p>\n Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has hinted\u00a0he wants to bring back McCarthy.<\/p>\n
