Official Fire Mike McCarthy Thread

[Harlan Huckleby]

I've been a Packer fan since they wore leather helmets, and a field goal was made by drop-kicking the ball into a peach basket nailed to a single goal post.

Almost every fucking year it is the same thing, "fire somebody!" I tune it out because I figure fans are angry drunks, and I'm not football-smart enough to have an opinion anyway. At most, I can maybe tell if a player sucks.

[mmmdk]

Can we make it retroactive and fire him 5 years ago?

This.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

I am probably biased, as I'm not sure I ever liked the guy, even during the good years, but there have just been way too many times when it appeared the team was unprepared. Besides, he is an arrogant fuck, so yeah, fire his ass.

McCarthy won a Super Bowl in his 5th year. We're now in the 8th year since he won the Super Bowl. The trajectory isn't good. Better coaches than McCarthy (I'm thinking Landry and Noll) have been fired by the teams they won titles for. They didn't forget how to do what had worked for them. What had worked in he past just wasn't working anymore.

I was all for it last year... and based on the start - I’d say - who could take over right now.

The team and fans need a spark

Or they lacked the players to do it. Shanahan comes to mind immediately.

The more this season progresses, the more I think Gutey was looking towards next year and/or the year after to strike. He won't do it without Stubby unless he has someone like Pederson already on his radar.

Before the season I was wondering whether this year would be like 2005 - Rodger's injury and the direction of the offense is trending that way. Doesn't mean it has to stay there (See NE after their game with Detroit for example), but rn it looks ugly.

Murphy has to fire MM. This dumb-ass reporting scheme / power grab by Murphy is just a bad idea. Fire MM, let Guty take care of the next coach, and only have the other guy talk to Murphy about financial issues (longer-term planning in terms of cash flow with impending signing bonuses, etc).

This offense barely looks better than the Hundley led one, especially in the first half.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I’d trade Dumb Mike (cos orangutans are smarter than Mike McCarthy - and Tony ODay. Plus, Fat Mike is taken) to the Browns for a 2nd and 4th.

German Shepherd has done some nice deeds, but off with his head for fucking up the Mack ordeal.

Bring in Josh McDaniels to run the whole shebang. 12 would throw for 7000 yds/season and 50 tds/season with JMac.

I'll just leave this here.

Mac isn't a bad coach but often after a while a new perspective can do wonders for a franchise. Sean Payton in NO is the exception. They look good now but they played poorly for a while there. Things aren't rosy in Pittsburgh and Reid has never shown the ability to finish strongly. It might finally be time to make a change. I doubt anything will happen until this season is over - unless the bottom really falls out.

But let's say Murphy loses patience and we fire Mac. Who should take over? Philbin? Moss? Pettine has said he has no desire to be a HC any time soon. McDaniels isn't a bad idea but I doubt he'd be available until after this season is over.

Wow, great article

the biggest thing to take away is how the fat asshole lied to everyone to keep his job by saying they were gong to change everything, but then left everything the same

i think if you make the change before the end of the season you put either pettine or philbin in has head coach with the interim label, and nothing more. i would like to see philbin in complete control of this offense to see if he can get anything else out of it

so give the head coach job to pettine, cause he will gladly give it back at the end of the season, and let hilbin have complete control of the offense for the rest of the year

[run pMc]

Ugh. Not the Josh McDaniels talk again. I mean, I'd pick him over Gregg Williams and Lane Kiffin, but yeah, they could do better.

mccarthy is a one trick pony whos trick was figured out long ago, and he has either refused or is incapable of learning a second trick
