FRISCO, Texas – Coach Mike McCarthy is not happy about his goal for his first season with the Dallas Cowboys: winning a Super Bowl.
“I think talking like that is honest, respectively nonsense,” McCarthy said when asked about Super Bowl-as-breast expectations. “If you are not trying to win the Super Bowl, I do not know what you yourself are doing in this business.
“I think this is where every team starts their offseason. Those who do not want to talk about it, they are probably just trying to underpromise, to persuade. But I have always been ahead of this team are ever coaches: We are in this to win a championship. Make no bones about it. “
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, McCarthy was unable to run his team until late July, unable to hold a traditional offseason program with a rookie minicamp, organized team activities, and a full-team minicamp. Meetings and workouts were held virtually.
He did not use that as a potential excuse. And while playing the ultimate goal at Super Bowl LV in Tampa, Florida, his immediate focus was Friday’s practice.
“We’re all in a pandemic. Every coach is coaching in this training camp environment,” McCarthy said. “The players are doing a great job with the COVID challenge, and it’s going to be a long, long year, and it’s going to be a huge challenge to get that championship. That’s the reality of it. But at the end of the day. Today, we are on Install 6, so we have a lot of work to do. “
McCarthy has won Super Bowl XLV with the Green Bay Packers at AT&T Stadium, but the Cowboys have not won a Super Bowl – or even played in an NFC Championship Game – since 1995. Since the franchise’s last Super Bowl win, the Cowboys have won just four postseason games.
