As Dallas Cowboys succeed, where's coach Mike McCarthy's credit?

FRISCO, Texas -- With a 5-1 record, there are many reasons for the Dallas Cowboys' success.

  • Quarterback Dak Prescott's return from injury and MVP-level play

  • Offensive coordinator Kellen Moore’s stellar game plans

  • Defensive coordinator Dan Quinn’s ability to reshape a unit that was battered and bruised in 2020

  • Running back Ezekiel Elliott’s return to form as one of the NFL’s best running backs

  • The offensive line’s play, behind Pro Bowlers Tyron Smith and Zack Martin

  • Cornerback Trevon Diggs’ otherworldly start with seven interceptions

  • Rookie linebacker/defensive end Micah Parsons’ fieldwide playmaking

  • The front office’s drafting and economical free-agent signings

It seems credit goes to just about everybody but the coach, Mike McCarthy.
