Thoughts On HC Mike McCarthy's Purge Of Packer Coaches. What makes any sense?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I know nothing about these coaches. But firing so many smells of desperation. These guys are long-time McCarthyites. How the fuck did they all become incompetent underneath the chief's nose? Isn't the guy at top the problem?

Until proven otherwise, yes. You can't have a purge of this extent without conceding some level of incompetence in coaching evaluation. Still, some got other jobs, so it isn't all personnel evaluation incompetence by Stubby. Some incompetence can be attributed to poor people management by Stubby too.

Of course, this is all at Packer-level competence, the baseline of which is set higher than many other organizations.
