A metal plate falling from the stadium's roof before the game could be a metaphor for what happens in “Jerry's World,” while watching the in-state rivals go toe-to-toe Monday night. , some of the team's greats have said so publicly. .
“I [Cowboys] In my heart. If I were the Cowboys, I would fire everyone after this season,” Dallas star receiver Dez Bryant posted on X during a 34-10 loss to Houston. “There's a lot of hungry talent out there.”

Bryant even suggested that former Cowboy Deion Sanders, known as “Coach Prime” of the Colorado Buffaloes, should replace head coach Mike McCarthy.
Bryant added in another tweet that he believes “the coaches who were in the game…that's new!” He believes Sanders may be similar to Jim Harbaugh, who rejuvenated the Los Angeles Chargers in his first season.
Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman, who spent his entire 12-year career in Dallas, appeared on the ESPN broadcast with Joe Buck and thinks McCarthy might be on his way.

“Mike McCarthy is a great football coach,” Aikman explained. terrible announcement. “He proved it in Green Bay. He proved it here. Winning 12 games three years in a row is doing something right. But after accomplishing that, he didn't get a contract extension. Hard to imagine. Get it now. ”
McCarthy and Dak Prescott entered the offseason in the final years of their respective contracts, so it was always a question whether McCarthy would return to the Cowboys after this season.
Prescott, the team's franchise quarterback, earned a contract extension and became the highest-paid quarterback in the league by Week 1. McCarthy has never been happier with a long-term contract.

McCarthy is currently without Prescott, who just underwent surgery to repair a hamstring injury that will keep him out for the remainder of the season. Cooper Rush has started the last two games for Dallas, and the offense has totaled 16 points.
Jones was asked if McCarthy had lost the team's trust, but he dismissed that concern.
“The loss of team assets is just too much,” Jones said. Via ESPN. “They are, first of all, natural competitors. Second, they are very proud of the fact that they are professionals and I'm probably disappointed in the way they play, but that It's not a brother or a cousin. It's about giving up… Everyone is certainly disappointed, but it's a big difference from not knowing that you can't move forward unless you step forward.”
The Cowboys currently have the No. 9 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, a position they never thought they would be in after earning the No. 2 seed in the NFC last season.
