Irvin is remaining optimistic.
These past few days have been pretty exciting for Dallas Cowboys fans. After missing the playfs, fans were anticipating the firing head coach Jason Garrett, who has been with the team for 10 years. Over the weekend, Garrett’s firing became ficial and the team’s quest for a new head coach had begun. A couple interviews later, the Cowboys decided to hire former Green Bay Packers head coach, Mike McCarthy.
Michael Irvin has been one the most vocal supporters the Cowboys and was good friends with Garrett. During a recent interview with TMZ, Irvin spoke about his feelings towards the Cowboys’ decision and whether or not McCarthy can make the team better. Instead getting down on the Cowboys, he propped them up by comparing them to the Golden State Warriors.
“When head coach] Mark Jackson left the Warriors, everything they needed to win championships was there. And, Steve Kerr came in and put in the right system that fit the talent, gave them the right leeways and brought the best out everybody and they went on to start winning a lot championships,” Irvin said. “I’m looking for Mike McCarthy to ‘Kerr’ the situation.”
