Things are spiraling out of control for the Dallas Cowboys.
Dallas was blown out at home by their division rival, the Philadelphia Eagles, on Sunday. Star pass rusher Micah Parsons was upset after the 34-6 loss, and one answer he gave to reporters concerning head coach Mike McCarthy is making waves online.
“Mike can leave and go wherever he wants,” Parsons said, per reporter Jori Epstein.
“Guys I kind of feel bad for (are) guys like Zack Martin & guys who might be on their last year or on their way out. Because that’s who I wanted to hold the trophy for. You want to win games & do great things with those type of legends who put in more time and work than Mike McCarthy ever did.
“Those are the kind of guys that I have so much sympathy and hurt for.”

Fans reacted to the brutal quote on social media.
“Maybe I remember wrong but it seems to me something similar happened in Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers didn’t think he was a good coach and they got rid of him,” one fan said on Twitter.
“Someone needs to tell Podcast Boy the NFL doesn’t hand out participation trophies If he wants to hold a trophy, he’ll need to find another team to play for,” one fan added.
“Hard to read ‘who put in more time and work than Mike McCarthy ever did” as any kind of positive spin. He’s lost the team. Should resign if they’re not firing him,’ one fan added.
“If you’re smart Micha, you stay as far away from Dallas as possible when it’s time for a new deal. If you want even a remote chance at winning a Super Bowl. Or even making a conference championship. Get as far away as possible,” one fan added.
“Sounds like a concession speach. Imagine quitting on your team halfway through the season,” a fan said.
It’ll be interesting to see how team owner Jerry Jones responds to the quote after publically backing McCarthy all season.
