It was Parsons’ words, not his play, that stole the spotlight. Parsons was asked after the game about the job status of head coach Mike McCarthy, which is understandably a topic of interest as the Cowboys fell to 3-6 in McCarthy’s final year of his contract.

The 25-year-old linebacker previously seemed to show little remorse for the possibility of his coach losing his job.

The Cowboys have only ever fired one coach midseason. It doesn't seem like Jerry Jones is eager to make Mike McCarthy the second.
