Unfortunately.
I brought that up multiple times in here. How much success THIS season is worth keeping McCarthy? It's a hard thing to conclude.
I am definitely happy that we got a playoff win under our belt. Because that has shifted talks from "They can't even win a playoff game" into just stating we haven't made it "deep" in the playoffs in 26 years or whatever. It's good that the team got that win to build off of. It is also nice that the Cowboys were the team that sent Brady on his way and that we FINALLY beat him. Was that worth keeping McCarthy around though? If Sean Payton could have been had here probably not. But if Payton was never a option maybe it was worth it.
I think (and - the article this morning in the DMN kinda confirmed what I've been thinking the last few days) that we'll get a better sense of what McCarthy actually has in terms of "power" as Moore's status is decided. I don't see them releasing him during this HC interview process as that would devalue him in the eyes of potential job openings but once things shake out, a decision has to occur. If he stays - that tells us Jerry wants him to stay and finish out his contract (one more year). And - McCarthy has little to no say in that which would lend itself to me believing MM has at the very best one more year here. Not really fair for either guy but we all know Jerry will do what Jerry wants to do and fair has little to do with that.
