No one ever remembers the last five, strike that, seven years of Gruden's coaching face in Tampa.

No one accepts mediocrity like Jon Gruden.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Another guy who rode good coaching success to a dual GM/final authority role with no evidence he is qualified to do both. His talent at being a face (in wrestling parlance, a good guy whom all believe) eclipses his talent at coaching.
In some ways he is less accomplished than Schottenheimer with a better public rep. Its baffling.

I wonder what Aaron thinks of all of this change.
Stubby still sucks I voted to let the new Packers GM decide. Stubby is an ok coach, he started hot and looked good in the first half of his tenure in GB but he's burned out as a HC and he has had the good fortune of Favre plus Rodgers. McCarthy could be a great offensive coordinator when he leaves Green Bay - he could revive himself by taking lesser responsibilities somewhere else. Stubby might survive a new GM in GB but I'd say it's 80-90% sure he'll be fired after a mere year. Much like Mike II. But I also would give him 10-20% chance of succeeding with a lot of help....A LOT! A new red hot drafting GM having a Saints like draft in april, a bunch of key free agents that are home runs and lastly a new defensive staff that retools the defense...then Stubby could stay longer. That's a lot of 'ifs'.

Makes sense. It's the same thing they did for Sherman. You don't want a checked out, lame duck coach. I still think all of these changes will really hurt with attracting a great DC for next season.
This deal, according to Demovsky, was done in the middle of the season. So Thompson and McCarthy's prospects may have diverged at that point.
McGinn made it sound like Thompson and McCarthy being linked was a possible liability. Doesn't seem like anyone was out for McCarthy at this point.

It is sounding more and more like he wasn't kicked up stairs. I could very well be wrong, though.
