00:00Tom Pellicero reports his sources say Mike McCarthy is out as the Cowboys head coach.
00:21Whoa!
00:22The sides could not agree on length of contract and McCarthy will, the sides could not agree
00:27on length of contract and McCarthy will pursue other opportunities.
00:31He leaves Dallas with a winning record and three playoff appearances.
00:35That is breaking news.
00:37Mike McCarthy out as the Cowboys coach.
00:40Holy freaking moly.
00:43No sorry.
00:44The stars.
00:45I'm sorry Mike.
00:46I think we're going to have to, Mike, I'm going to have to jot that down as one of
00:48those moments where we were in a non-Cowboys segment and I had to talk about that.
00:52Jerry heard his tease.
00:54So there you go.
00:55Holy moly.
00:56Who's saying this again?
00:57It's Tom Pellicero and that is just as reliable of any source that you can find out.
01:02So essentially.
01:03So Schefter comes out with his report and literally 30 minutes later it's over.
01:07Tom Pellicero is like nope.
01:09And granted Pellicero has, you'll have to ask Bobby in Broadus about this, but I'm pretty
01:14sure Pellicero's been in one of those that kind of got in with McCarthy very well because
01:19McCarthy's done a good job of opening up to those NFL network people and some of the national
01:23people.
01:24So he's one of those that probably has a really good conversation with him and his agent.
01:28Does this sound like then that, and correct me if you think I'm off, does this sound like
01:33Mike McCarthy stood his ground against the Cowboys and they were like, that doesn't work
01:39for us.
01:40And he goes, well, you know what, brother, that doesn't work for me.
01:42And he walked out.
01:43I'm assuming, but like, because everything we talked about, think about, let's just go
01:47back an hour.
01:48McCarthy wanted a longer contract.
01:50Okay.
01:51Let's just go back.
01:52Okay.
01:53Everybody's reporting it now.
01:54An hour and 20 minutes ago.
01:56So an hour and 20 minutes ago, we're doing the crosstalk and I think I'll admit I fell
02:01into this category.
02:02I thought that Mike McCarthy would just go along with whatever deal it is.
02:07Let's just say they give him a two year deal, $10 million, some of its incentive base, whatever.
02:12And Mike McCarthy is like, no man, that's not going to work because we're going to do
02:16this exact same thing over again.
02:17I need, I need at least a three year deal or I need at least a whatever year deal.
02:22And I need at least $6 million or I need my base salary to be guaranteed or whatever.
02:26I know part of that is speculation at this point, but an hour and 20 minutes ago, I stood
02:30just a few feet to the left of where I am right now.
02:33And I thought for sure that Mike McCarthy would give in to the low ball contract offer
02:39of Dallas Cowboys.
02:41And here we are.
02:42And it sounds like he sure as hell did not.
