The True Story Behind the Photo of the ‘Incident’ Between Cowboys’ Mike McCarthy and a Cameraman

There is more to the story about Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy’s stiff-arm to a camera lens after their Divisional Round loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

McCarthy came under fire overnight after he was photographed appearing to shove a cameraman while exiting the field at Levi’s Stadium. Following the incident, though, the cameraman took to Twitter to defend the 59-year-old coach, adding that the two met privately in the locker room.

“Thank you to everyone that has reached out regarding the Mike McCarthy incident,” Noah Bullard, a photographer for NBC 5 Sports, tweeted. “I can see how the photo appeared like he pushed me but it was more of a hand to the lens. I did meet with coach McCarthy privately in his office and he did apologize.

The two met in the coach’s office of the visiting locker room, Bullard and a Cowboys spokesman told Yahoo Sports.

Bullard added that the “incident appears worse on still photos” and he is “totally fine.”

McCarthy does not make direct contact with Bullard, who remained on his feet while teetering on the field with his camera in tow.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said McCarthy’s job status would not be impacted by the season-ending 19-12 loss.

“No, no, no, not at all,” Jones said when asked if the outcome had changed his mind about McCarthy. “…This is very sickening to not win tonight.”

McCarthy is coming off back-to-back 12-win seasons, but has lost to the 49ers in the playoffs both times. McCarthy, who won a Super Bowl with the Packers in 2010, went 6-10 in his first season in Dallas
