The McCarthy Con Job & the Schotty Era: Can the Cowboys Finally Fix It? (2020–Present)

from Good Friends, Better Rivals

They told you Mike McCarthy was the answer. He wasn't.In the final episode of our four-part series on 30 years of Cowboys failure, Fares and Caleb cover the most recent — and in some ways most frustrating — chapter of Dallas's Super Bowl drought. The McCarthy era promised a new era of Cowboys football and delivered the same January exits, the same excuses, and the same front office fingerprints all over the mess.Now the Cowboys are in yet another reset, handing the keys to Brian Schottenheimer and hoping the defense can be the foundation of something real. Can Schotty actually be the guy? Or is this just the next chapter in the same 30-year story?We close out the series with the full picture — and some real talk about whether this franchise is ever going to figure it out.
