  • Coach of the Year

    I have been seeing some articles on the coach of the year award and I cannot believe that MM is not in the discussion. No matter how much we rip on him here he has kept a competitive team on the field even though we have a playoff team on the IR.
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

    I've seen/heard people mention him in a few broadcasts.

      Peter King at least had him in the discussion in MMQB along with BB, Haley, Morris, Reid, Ryan, The Smiths, Spagnuloo and Tomlin. He went on to say that for him, it probably came down to Hoody, Morris, Reid, or Spagnuolo.

          Spagnola? The Miami coach? Why? They're like 6-9 or something.

            That's Sparano. Spagnuolo is the coach of the Rams.

              I know I rip the fat bastard a lot but if you would have told me the injuries we would have faced this season yet we would still be in the playoff race I would have laughed in your face then kicked you in the nuts. While he does have the occasional fuck up he has done a great job this year. Hes a poor man's Andy Reid IMO, without the fucked up sons.

                "We'll get that fixed". I looked it up yesterday on NFL.com. The Packers Offense ranks in the top 4 for fewest penalties and penalty yards. The Packers Defense were 18th and 12th respectively. I have NO idea about special teams. It does seem like a LOT of progress has been made there.

                  Absolutely. How many times in the last few years did we bemoan that the penalties would never be cleaned up? It was the sure sign that McCarthy was out of his depths. Now, however, that the penalties are cleared up, there are other things to complain about.

                  I guess some people can't truly be happy unless they can complain (I fall into that category sometimes too). I think Heaven will have a suggestion box just for people like that.
                  No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

                    Good points here. We - me included - bitched about those penalties, and that did seem to fall on the coach. But he did indeed get that "cleaned up."

                    Better stay clean now, too.

                      I think Sam Bradford should get coach of the year.

                              Evaluating on individual games is silly in my mind. I don't believe McCarthy is "coach of the year" material in a good year, but I don't think you replace him either. Above average? Maybe. Maybe not.

                              I'm just not so enamored, but I'll wait for 2011 before bringing up the "too creative" label again. But when we're healthy, and the "creative genius" goes with a low percentage toss to try and win the game, I'm headed for GB to hit him with my car, and then I'm telling all you experts that "I told you so".
