McCarthy on VERGE of signing contract extension!

[gbpackfan]

Glazer, FOX Sports, just reported on the pre-game show that MM is very close to signing an extension. It should be signed by mid-week according to Glazer. MM will join the FOX crew at halftime of the Cowboys-Giants game.

This is great news. MM deserves it.

[GBRulz]

Yeah, they were talking locally about his extension and how it should be wrapped up before the playoffs are over.

He certainly deserves it, no doubt !!

[MJZiggy]

Don't they realize he's just too busy this week to worry about signing his name to anything? Just kidding, this is fantastic news! Then again look what happened last time TT signed his coach to an extension!

if you're going to reward a guy with a contract extension, you might as well do it when you can get something more out of it. a little nice pat on the back at this stretch of the season where MM will probably have to develop a coke habit makes those long nights a little more easy to deal with. another example of a TT (he does this right?) smart move.

ive questioned the guy at times this year but overall cant get over how well he's instilled his mentality with the team and how much they personify that attitude. that's true leadership and this could be our guy for quite some time.

im excited

I was stunned when MM was hired, considering his previous gig the season before. He was not even in my top3 candidates. But almost immediately you could tell he had the right attitude. What a wonderful surprise this hiring has turned into. Lock him up. Nice job, TT!

I don't think anybody saw it coming. To say that there was outrage after hiring the OC from San Francisco would be an understatement. It was complete and utter chaos from some people.

I can't say that I saw this coming, but I was a lot more optimistic than most because before he went to Sanfran M3 was offensive coordinator for the Saints back when Aaron Brooks was the hottest QB in the NFL. M3 helped them set all kinds of offensive records there, so I was hopeful he'd pull it off here with a much better QB.

He has earned it! Great news indeed.......but I don't think there was any doubt about it.

Ditto, Vince McCarthy did earn it.

A poster on JSO echoed an unsubstantiated rumor that the deal is for $20 million for 6 years.

If true, that seems like a very good deal for the team. I'm surprised he's not getting more in the neighborhood of $4-5 mil./yr.

M3 was in my top three coaching candidates. Don't make me dig up the thread from JSO but it's out there.

So the fact that Jay Glazer "broke" this news...I found funny the way FOX put it, because Press-Gazette wrote back in November that Thompson had talked to McCarthy about an extension but McCarthy said he wanted to wait until after the season was over to take care of this.

Nothin big, I just tend to not like Jay Glazer, he takes news from other people and makes it his "breaking news".

On the way up to the game Saturday pre-game reported MM and TT were in discussions and there was a good chance something was already finalized. They noted both did not want the talk to get in the way of playoffs.

This is great news. So many teams lose their head coach when they reach a certain point of success and have to start over. I'm glad that people who win in GB want to stay here because of the great tradition! I had a good feeling about him even after the first preseason and camps. He handles brett and the rest of the team with so much confidence. When he speaks he just sends such a strong positive vibe. I think the players love him, he is a great leader. He has single handedly made Brett even better than Holmgren ever could. His coaching style is perfect for Brett. I hope he signs for 5 years.

It would be wise to tie him up a few weeks before he becomes a Super Bowl winning coach!!!
