In this week’s Inside Coverage, Jason Fitz, Jori Epstein, and Frank Schwab dive into the latest headlines, from Dak Prescott’s comments on Mike McCarthy to the evolving coaching carousel in Chicago.
First up, Jori Epstein reacts to her viral interview with Dak Prescott about his thoughts on McCarthy’s future in Dallas. The crew debates whether the Dallas Cowboys should bring Mike McCarthy back or move in a new direction, weighing the pros and cons of potential head coaching candidates like Mike Vrabel and Ben Johnson and whether the grass really is greener on the other side.
