NFL fans are calling for Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy’s dismissal after a disappointing performance against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. The Cowboys were thoroughly outplayed, trailing 27-10 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. The loss not only drops Dallas to a troubling 3-4 record but also raises more questions about the direction and discipline of the team under McCarthy’s leadership.
McCarthy’s job security has been a topic of debate this season, though owner Jerry Jones has expressed hesitation about making any in-season coaching changes. However, the Cowboys’ inconsistent play has frustrated fans, who are now calling for a change.
Despite coming off a bye week—an opportunity to address glaring issues following a blowout home loss to the Lions—Dallas looked undisciplined and poorly prepared, renewing concerns about McCarthy’s effectiveness as a leader.
Fans took to social media to voice their frustrations, with many openly demanding McCarthy’s termination. “I hope they don’t as a Birds fan, but I don’t know how McCarthy isn’t fired if they finish this game terrible. Pathetic performance out of a bye,” one fan posted.
Another chimed in, “Fire him right now, man,” while another added, “Fire McCarthy when the season is over. He’s the worst play-caller in the NFL.”

The criticism extended to McCarthy’s offensive strategy, with some fans pointing out the team’s lackluster offensive output. “Mike McCarthy needs to be fired after this game. You can’t have a bye week to prepare and your offense looks like this. This is terrible,” one fan remarked.
Jones has previously stated he wouldn’t be making any mid-season coaching changes, yet with fan patience wearing thin and the season teetering on the edge, the pressure to reconsider could grow.
At this point, many fans argue that swallowing pride and taking action could be best for the team’s future.
