data-mm-id=”_rgjc5r7xq”>The Dallas Cowboys fell on their face Sunday, getting hammered by the Green Bay Packers 48-32 in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs. There is a ton of speculation that head coach Mike McCarthy will be fired after another playoff disappointment. Soon after the game, owner Jerry Jones refused to endorse his head coach. Jones sounded dejected after the loss and certainly hinted that big changes may be in store for the franchise. Here's what he had to say:Jerry Jones with a lot to say, including that "he's floored" by Sunday's loss to the Packers but hasn't thought about what it means long term for anyone, specifically Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott. pic.twitter.com/H8tkEJYxOE— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) January 15, 2024If you like your head coach, his spot would be secure after making the postseason. It's clear Jones is not there right now.In four years under McCarthy, the Cowboys have gone 42-25 and reached the playoffs three times, with two NFC East titles. He's produced three straight 12-5 seasons. Unfortunately, Dallas has never advanced beyond the Divisional Round of the playoffs and are now 1-3 on his watch in the postseason. Jones doesn't have much patience. I'd bet heavily that McCarthy is gone.

Bayern Munich are considering the possibility of going for Brighton and Hove Albion star Moises Caicedo this summer, according to Sky in Germany.
The Seagulls originally signed Caicedo from Ecuadorian side Independiente in January 2021, and sent him on loan to Beerschot six months later. He returned to the Amex last summer and played a huge role in what can only be described as a historic season for the club from the south coast of England as they secured a place in the Europa League.
The 21-year-old midfielder was of strong interest to Arsenal and Chelsea this January, but Brighton simply refused to sell such an important player in the middle of the season. Chelsea signed Enzo Fernandez from Benfica instead and Arsenal are believed to the favourites for West Ham captai…
Marcus Rashford has been challenged to finish the season with as many as 35 goals by Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
Rashford hit the net for the 20th time this term as the Red Devils recovered from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 Premier League draw with Leeds United on Wednesday.
The England forward has scored 12 goals in 14 appearances since returning from the World Cup and has almost three times as many goals as United s next highest scorer Bruno Fernandes, who has seven to his name.
With Rashford on course to comfortably surpass the most prolific campaign of his career to date of 22 goals in 2019-20, Ten Hag urged him to keep aiming high.
[There is] much more to come and we have months to play, important months, Ten Hag told the club s websi…

Tottenham returned to winning ways with a 3-1 home victory over Crystal Palace after a dazzling spell of three goals in 11 second-half minutes.
Ange Postecoglou’s team were heading for a second straight defeat when fit-again Eberechi Eze curled home for Oliver Glasner’s side with 59 minutes on the clock.
Substitute Brennan Johnson helped turn the match back in Spurs’ favour, though, with a brilliant assist for Timo Werner’s 77th-minute equaliser before Cristian Romero headed in a second soon after.
Captain Son Heung-min wrapped up the scoring two minutes from time after Johnson had sent him away to earn the hosts’ a much-needed win in the battle for Champions League qualification.

Yaya Toure is very positive about having opportunities in management despite seeing Patrick Vieira recently sacked by Crystal Palace.
Toure was disappointed to see his former Manchester City team-mate lose his role as manager of the Eagles, who replaced Vieira with 75-year-old Roy Hodgson until the end of the season.
Speaking at a Football Black List event, the former Barcelona and City midfielder paid tribute to Vieira, whose dismissal meant there are no black managers in the Premier League.
Patrick Vieira is a great person, and a great coach as well. I think it s a sad part of it, Toure said.
It s a concern because if you have 50 per cent of the black players playing Premier League, and maybe one or two per cent of managers or coaches are black, it s …
Massimiliano Allegri revealed Juventus will be without their South American contingent, including Paulo Dybala, and the injured Federico Chiesa as they prepare to face Napoli on Saturday.
Dybala, who has been involved in four goals in his last four league games, heads the absentee list, which also includes Rodrigo Bentancur, Danilo, Juan Cuadrado and Alex Sandro.
Juve have managed just one point from their opening two Serie A games, only once in their history Allegri s first spell in 2015-16 – have they failed to win any of their opening three matches.
And matters have worsened for the Old Lady as Allegri confirmed on Friday that the visitors will be without their South American players after their late returns from international duty.

Forest Green enjoyed their first away league win since the opening day of last season as a second-half Matty Stevens goal secured a 1-0 triumph at Harrogate.
Stevens, who netted 27 times as Rovers won promotion in 2021/22 but only managed one goal last term, was credited with the final touch on a goal-bound effort by strike partner Tyrese Omotoye.
His 46th-minute header also sealed only a second win of any kind in 29 contests for the Gloucestershire outfit, following their relegation in spring.
Earlier, Omotoye had been denied by home goalkeeper Mark Oxley after an intelligent through ball by Charlie McCann.
At the other end, meanwhile, Sam Folarin’s firm drive was kept out at the near post by Luke Daniels.
But the visitors forged ahead 55 secon…

Luka Jovic has found it hard to kick-start his Real Madrid career and Saturday s LaLiga defeat to Real Mallorca showed how much work the striker still has to do.
The 21-year-old, a reported €50million signing from Eintracht Frankfurt in the transfer window, has struggled to make an impact under Zinedine Zidane thanks largely to the continued good form of Karim Benzema.
Speaking on Friday, Zidane insisted Jovic was not discouraged at having previously started just two LaLiga matches and promised the forward would be given his chance.
He duly was for the visit to Son Moix, where Madrid s unbeaten start to the league season came to an end thanks to a fine first-half goal from Lago Junior seven minutes in.
Jovic started alongside Benzema in attack as Zidan…
