MIKE McCarthy lost his cool during the Dallas Cowboys’ most recent loss.
The Cowboys lost to the Atlanta Falcons 27-21 on Sunday.
During the loss, head coach Mike McCarthy was fed up with the product he was seeing on the field.
Fox NFL cameras picked up a moment that his frustrations boiled over on the sidelines.
McCarthy could be seen taking his tablet and smashing it on the ground in a moment of anger.
NFL fans noticed this as well, and called for McCarthy to be fired by the Cowboys.
“Can we fire him at half time,” one fan said.
“Someone might be fired this season,” another fan said.
“He’s getting fired before the season ends. Hopefully!” a third fan said.
“They just need to do away with McCarthy,” a fourth fan said.
“You can see he’s ready to move on. Don’t blame him. Dallas is toxic,” a fifth fan said.
McCarthy was pressed about his tablet smash after the game, and shared remorse for the action.
“I’m embarrassed by it,” he told reporters.
“It’s something that at my age, clearly there is no excuse for.
“That’s not what I represent. I’m embarrassed as the leader of this team.
“That was definitely a moment that I wish I had back.”
The Cowboys could use some fire underneath them, but McCarthy might have taken things a bit too far.

The team is 3-5 and way behind their rival Washington Commanders who are 7-2 on the season.
Now, with quarterback Dak Prescott down with injury, it would take a miracle to get into the playoffs.
Prescott will be sidelined for at least four weeks with his hamstring injury.
“We have five losses and so we clearly understand where that puts us as far as what it will take,” McCarthy said.
“We’ve got to get to winning.”
