WHAT SHOULD WE DO WITH MIKE MCCARTHY ???

[QBME]

The new GM will have enough to do without going through a head coach search and hire. Keep MM. If after a year, the GM and coach are a bad fit, then make a change. Seems that happened once before here and it worked fairly well.

This. It will work out offensively as Aaron Rodgers just became the de facto Offensive Coordinator. MM is now the Assistant OC to handle the details.

You're high.

You're high.

With the AWESOME News that TT is out...I'm certainly HIGH !

Joyous !

Fair enough.

The only way I'd toss MM is if the Packers fall in love with a D-coordinator candidate and it takes an HC spot to land him.

MM is a pretty excellent coach but all things being equal a true guru on the defensive side of the ball is more valuable than the equivalent on offense. Not just for us but in general.

The Headline is right here:

MM has to have his tiring act FIRED in Green Bay.

Yeah, going to the playoffs 8 years in a row is tiring.

[Pugger]

AND if a new GM is hired, should he move fast or take a while ?

If the new GM is in house - someone they've been grooming to take over - Mike isn't going anywhere. Firing Capers might have saved his job too.

[Pugger]

This might be your answer:

The Raiders can have him.

Are you saying they wouldn't have made the playoffs without MM?

I don't know for sure but his offenses were always pretty good - when the QB plays decently - compared to our defenses since 2011.

No one ever remembers the last five, strike that, seven years of Gruden's coaching face in Tampa.

No one accepts mediocrity like Jon Gruden.

Yup, I don't get the love for Gruden as a coach. He took a team that was almost there, got them to the big show and then sucked afterwords.

Another guy who rode good coaching success to a dual GM/final authority role with no evidence he is qualified to do both. His talent at being a face (in wrestling parlance, a good guy whom all believe) eclipses his talent at coaching.

In some ways he is less accomplished than Schottenheimer with a better public rep. Its baffling.
