All of Dallas is praying that one day the Cowboys franchise could land Sean Payton as a head coach after he stepped away from football for the 2022 season.
During an appearance on 105.3 The Fan, former Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin shared his brutal assessment as to why Payton is just so much better than Mike McCarthy.
“Here’s the difference that you have to understand that I think puts Sean Payton above it all. Look at the success that Sean Payton had without his best players, without Michael Thomas, without Drew Brees, he still keeps them competitive,” Irvin said. “They beat the champs twice this year without his best players! That’s what we’re talking about!
“Without our best players, we lost every darn game! That’s just the reality. We lost every darn game. I had a stuffed animal on the show as an emotional support doll! Are you joking? That’s what Im talking about! … Sean Payton is an upgrade. I’m just going to be real.”
When asked if it’s fair to talk about Payton while McCarthy is still the head coach, Irvin said “When you’re going out in the first round, all things are fair.”
As of now, Jerry Jones has kept his support behind McCarthy staying for at least one more season. If another failure comes next season, he is sure to be out the door.
