How does PACKER Head Coach Mike McCarthy Rank amonst all NFL HC's?

[Fritz]

I agree with most of what you said, Woody. I too like the diligence with which he prepares for the offseason stuff. I know all the coaches work fanatically, but I think MM is better at utilizing that teaching time. I also agree that perhaps we lacked patience with MM.

I do though think that the red flag stuff is not necessarily MM's fault. From what I understand, the viewers - me and you and the fans - get a much quicker, more accurate replay than the coaches on the sideline. I'm not sure, but I think it's illegal for the teams to have a television feed on the sidelines. Now if MM would just give me, or you, or - maybe better - some other Packerrat his cell phone number, we could call him up during questionable plays and let him know whether to throw the red flag.

Just wait until the third game of the season. People will be calling for his head because he decided to punt the ball on 4th and 1 with 3 minutes left, being down by 3 because he trusts the defense, and they won't make the stop and we'll loose.

Cool idea Fritz. Please use the new Packerrat 'Suggestion Box' provision, to submit this proposal to 'the Higher Authority'. That authority will 'of course' need to pay the cellular bill and choose a Packer fan ' that actually see's the games', to take on such duty and make the calls to MM.

That fan will receive the special nickname of Johnny or Julie 'on the spot'. When a game is decided against our side because of a lost TO provision due to 'a Red Flag' turndown. That Packerrat must immediately revoke the privaleges of using that cellular....withing 24 hours return that cellular using parcel service to the Packerrat Higher Authority and ASAP visit a tatoo parlor and have the word 'blind' impressed opon his or her forehead.

That tatoo will merely brand that Packer fan 'as REAL'.

I like it, I like it. To prop up the Packerrat's courage, we should provide free Leinies to the holder of the red phone.

There's a (I believe) 10 second delay in the live feeds. We'd probably have to just stay connected to a staff member during the entire game so we don't have any delay in giving our expert opinion.

[Fritz]

Maybe if it's a Thursday game the "on the spotter" could stay connected to Shawn Slocum...

I use to be hard on old MM but he is clearly a top 5 coach in the league and a hard guy not to like.

I think we were all hard on him. It took him years to get to where he's at and we wanted something now damnit! My problem with him is that he never seemed to learn his lesson until about 1/2 way into the season. He also always seemed to start off with a very complex play book and we'd struggle, but by the end he'd tone it down and we'd excell.
