McCarthy said he didn’t exactly have to fight for his job, but that it was a hard conversation.

Even at the podium here Thursday, you could see and hear the emotion from McCarthy, who called the end to this season “still raw.”

With this club currently having a 1-3 record in the postseason, McCarthy faced a barrage of questions at his news conference regarding why he hasn’t been able to bring this team over the finish line.

McCarthy claimed that each of the previous three years’ playoff defeats was unique.

Regarding what went wrong in that incredible defeat to Green Bay, which had Dallas trailing the team at home by 32 points in the fourth quarter at one moment

McCarthy claimed the team wasn’t flat but rather that players were playing “too fast.”

McCarthy claimed that his family’s anxiety was the only thing that truly troubled him despite the uncertainty surrounding his career this week.

Multiple times during this press conference, he reiterated his self-confidence in being able to bring a sixth Lombardi Trophy to Dallas.

McCarthy’s message to the fans echoed Jones’ statement, that this team is very close.

“We have an unbelievable fan base and they should be frustrated. We’re extremely disappointed. Disappointed for them. Disappointed

in our performance. But my message would be this, we’ve established a championship program, it’s just not a world championship yet.

We know how to win, we know how to train to win, we have the right people, but we have not crossed the threshold of winning playoff

games. It’s extremely disappointing to be sitting here talking about it, but I know how to win and we will get over that threshold,” McCarthy said.

Similar to McCarthy, Dak Prescott is about to enter his last year on a contract.

McCarthy stated that he thinks Prescott is the team’s solution and that he can advance.
