If Mike Tomlin's 'New Heights' comments are true, the Cowboys are on the brink of disaster

Mike Tomlin pulled no punches on Travis and Jason Kelce's podcast, calling out the Cowboys' public "players-only meeting" drama.

When a sports team holds a players-only meeting, it often indicates that things are going poorly, or that there is a conflict or issue that needs to be addressed directly. In the case of the Dallas Cowboys, such a meeting took place after a Week 5 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, according to long-time Cowboys reporter Clarence Hill Jr., the meeting was limited to the defense.

Team captain Von Miller stated that while the coaching was poor, he believed they were receiving good instruction. During an interview on the New Heights podcast, former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin expressed his thoughts on players-only meetings. When asked to comment on the Cowboys situation, Tomlin bluntly stated, "I think you're dead."

He added, "If it did occur, I'd like to not hear about it." Tomlin's comments, coming from someone with a 19-year tenure as a head coach and a Super Bowl win, do not inspire confidence for the Cowboys moving forward.
