Not long ago, it seemed like the end of the season, Coach Mike McCarthy's contract, and the Cowboys hiring a new coach were certainties. But two wins have changed the game. Now, key players are voicing their support for McCarthy. Quarterback Dak Prescott said he fully backs McCarthy, and linebacker Micah Parsons recently echoed this sentiment.

In a recent interview with ESPN, Parsons argued for consistency. He believes the team deserves a fair shot with all players and coaches returning, as injuries have overshadowed their potential. Parsons highlighted the impact of injuries, expressing his sympathy for players like Zack Martin and DeMarcus Lawrence.

Parsons also spoke highly of his relationship with McCarthy. He appreciates how McCarthy has looked out for him but acknowledges that the final decision rests with Jerry Jones. "I’m just a pawn in this business, " Parsons said, recognizing Jones' control over the team.

Even though Jones has the final say, the support from key players like Parsons and Prescott can sway the decision. McCarthy might also be more flexible in negotiations if he's worried about getting fired, which could be part of Jones' strategy.
