DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - Fox Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer joined the K&C Masterpiece on Wednesday, following the Cowboys latest loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday night.
Glazer is known to have a relationship with Cowboys first-year head coach Mike McCarthy, and there is even speculation that Glazer is the one that convinced Jerry Jones to hire the former Packers coach after they moved on from Jason Garrett last season.
“The rumor is that Jay Glazer got to Jerry somehow and recommended Mike McCarthy,” 105.3 The Fan's RJ Choppy said on the Zach Gelb Show back in October. “There’s some connection between McCarthy and Glazer. I don’t know if they go to the same gym – I have no [idea]. But that’s the rumor we have heard around here: that Glazer somehow got to Jerry and convinced him that McCarthy was the guy, and they went right to it. That was the quiet little secret that’s been floating around here. No one’s been able to substantiate it, but there’s enough smoke and enough credible people that have brought it up that [it seems plausible]. It came out of nowhere. Mike McCarthy came out of nowhere. It was really, really weird.”
So the K&C Masterpiece took the opportunity to ask Glazer if he had an hand in McCarthy's hiring with the Cowboys?
Glazer, of course, dodged the question. But he said he believes McCarthy is the man to lead the organization despite their struggles this season.
"There's a lot of teams I've talked to about a lot of guys," Glazer said. "I still think Mike is the right guy there. I really do. The problem in Dallas, and a lot of these other places, is it's so hard to build a culture in three weeks. (And) that's what he's had to do. Especially in three weeks, and you lose half your team. It's so hard.
"Dallas is different than other places. There's so much attention there. Every player on that team gets more attention than the center fielder for the (New York) Yankees or the center from the (Los Angeles) Lakers. I do think they needed a guy with some grunt in there. But it's just so hard to build what you're trying to build in a place like that when you only get in front of these guys for three weeks and one-by-one they all go down."
