I think Stubby and Fat Mike are terms of endearment.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

I can only speak for myself. I think he's a great coach. Like Rand said, his stubbornness is a quality that's both good and bad. I used to criticize him for advocating the running game but not rushing the ball, even when we had Grant. Now my only complaint about him is his ill-advised challenges and inconsistent game management.Originally posted by ThunderDan View PostMy ass they are.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics.

Brings to mind an obvious question: If McCarthy should retire before Thompson, who do you want him to hire as successor to Mike the 3rd?
Mike Smith
Mike Tomlin
Mike McCoy
Mike Pettine
Mike Zimmer
Mike Trgovac (DL-Packers)
Mike Nolan (DC-Falcons)
Mike Tice (OL-Falcons)
Mike Devlin (OL-Jets)
Mike McDaiel (WR-Browns)
Mike Munchak (OL-Steelers)
Mike Vrabel (LB-Texans)
Mike Gillhamer (DB-Colts)
Mike Rutenberg (aDB-Jags)
Mike Mallory (ST-Jags)
Mike Mularkey (TE-Titans)
Mike Sullivan (aOL-Titans)
Mike Pope (TE-Cowboys)
Mike Dawson (aDL-Eagles)
Mike Groh (WR-Bears)
Mike Priefer (ST-Vikes)
Mike Shula (OC-Panthers)
Mike Neu (QB-Saints)
Mike Phair (aDL-Bucs)(brother of Liz?)
Mike Caldwell (LB-Cards)
Mike Waufle (DL-Rams)
Mike Solari (OL-49ers)
And that's just the pro ranks. Someone needs to find the 97 potential Mike HCs in the FBS Subdivision.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Mike Shanahan?One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

By the way, if Mike Holmgren came back to Green Bay, would he be Mike the 1st, Mike the 4th or Mike the 5th (1st plus 4th)?One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics.

That would make him the Grover Cleveland of Packer Mike coaches. Ol' Grover was the 22nd and 24 President.Originally posted by Maxie the Taxi View PostBy the way, if Mike Holmgren came back to Green Bay, would he be Mike the 1st, Mike the 4th or Mike the 5th (1st plus 4th)?
Come to think of it, they kind of look alike.

So, if that's the standard, is anybody other than Belichick and Coughlin "One Of The Best"? They are the only active coaches with more than 1 Lombardi Trophy. There are only 7 active head coaches with a Lombardi Trophy.Originally posted by woodbuck27 View PostRecognize Mike McCarthy for what!? Doesn't he already get enough sand pounded up his ass? Mike McCarthy is obviously a very solid Head Coach. He should have a solid winning percentage coaching Brett Favre and now Aaron Rodgers. Two certain HOFers.
I want to see if he can coach the team to another Super Bowl before I elevate his status to 'One Of The Best'.I can't run no more

I'm referring to ' One Of The BEST ' ALL TIME NFL Head Coach's.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostSo, if that's the standard, is anybody other than Belichick and Coughlin "One Of The Best"?

Today he would rank as one of the BEST HC's in the NFL. He has an excellent Regular Season winning percentage.
Mike McCarthy hasn't shown us much since our last Super Bowl in the post season. Please check that out.** Since 2006 3 X Pro Pickem' Champion; 4 X Runner-Up and 3 X 3rd place.

McCarthy deserves major applause after his performance in compiling and executing a gameplan capable of catching perhaps the greatest coach of all time on his heels at times. Too often, McCarthy has come up small in big moments following his successful championship run. He has allowed himself to become stale and predictable. Not this time. Starting with the bye week, McCarthy and his coaching staff have successfully navigated the defense from being porous to being proud. McCarthy has found ways to give all the talent at the offensive skill positions a chance to show their mettle. He managed and massaged egos during several crucial roster shakeups...and the team appears to be stronger for it.
McCarthy still has some things to prove. He has the opportunity to guide this team to a #1 seed...with a trip to the Super Bowl well within reach. This is not an opportunity that a great coach will waste. Based on this week's performance, it doesn't appear that McCarthy is going to let that happen. Belichick doesn't give out fake praise...he went out of his way to praise the Packers, especially the coaching staff. Hoodie knew he was out coached on this occasion...and in all the years he has been coach of the Patriots, that reality has not been apparent to him very often.It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
