Really? When he was hired, I thought you gals preferred Gruden's style.Originally posted by MJZiggyGood News. I like his style...I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

Kudos to the leadership McCarthy has demonstrated, and kudos to his contributions to the effectiveness of the overall Packer organization. It's refreshing to see how much trust there is throughout this Packer regime. I'm not sure how common this is, but it's noteworthy that McCarthy has enough trust in the organization and enough interest in staying put that he negotiated his own deal throughout the negotiation.
This deal is well deserved and a good move for the future of the franchise.
Deal is reported to be "close to" $4mil/yr.
"I'm very pleased with the deal," said McCarthy, who spoke to reporters via teleconference from the Pro Bowl in Honolulu. "I think it's an outstanding commitment from the organization. I have no interest in being an agent. The process of doing it myself is something I was very comfortable doing because of the Green Bay Packers. I didn't want to go through the agent process. ... Sometimes it can get to a situation where it gets drawn out and things happen that don't need to happen. It was a very mutual understanding on the contract. I'm very thankful for Bob Harlan, Mark Murphy and Ted Thompson ... everybody involved for this opportunity.""We are pleased to be able to make this announcement," Thompson said. "Mike brings tremendous passion, work ethic and structure to his position. These are the traits we saw in him when he was hired and we're very happy for the success we have had under his guidance.
"Mike and I have a very good working relationship and we look forward to continuing to work for such a special organization with such great fans."
