SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [4:28] the split between Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys and how much Jerry Jones’, uh, frugality had to do with it.

The guys also offer their favorites for the job. (Hint: David wins with a nomination of Pete Carroll). [35:50] Discussion of Texas’ loss to Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl focuses on Quinn Ewers’ fumble and Steve Sarkisian’s call for a sideways run on the goal line. And Evan tells us why Roki Sasaki won’t be a Ranger.

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington and David Moore discuss [1:25] the Cowboys’ abysmal state at 3-5, especially with Dak Prescott’s extended absence looming. David says the season is already over.

[33:15] Kevin lays out the CFP hopes of SMU, Texas and Texas A&M. Each has its destiny squarely in its hands. Win out, and you’re in.

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and David Moore discuss [2:23] the Cowboys’ latest debacle, a loss on the road to the 49ers. Evan says Trevon Diggs’ complaints about a reporter’s tweet immediately after the game only amplify the team’s misplaced priorities. Kevin says if Dak Prescott can’t run, as Jerry Jones advises, he’s not a good enough passer to justify that enormous contract. David says the Cowboys’ minus-turnover margin is a large part of their problem, which can’t be fixed at the deadline, but could be helped by the return of Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence. [32:41] The guys also discuss Texas A&M’s rise to the top of the SEC in Mike Elko’s first year and what that portends for Texas when the two teams meet on Nov. 30.
