Cowboys Nation hoped to be ending January with one more football game still to be played. Instead, the owner is already making Mike McCarthy’s job harder by mooning over an unemployed coach, the team’s star linebacker is pointing out how the front office fell short, and the defensive coordinator that fans were ready to send packing may be coming right back with nowhere else to go.
