Official Fire Mike McCarthy Thread

[Bossman641]

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

I'll give MM the rest of the year to see what happens, but if the offense continues to look so stale I'd like to see a younger, coordinator run the offense and bring some ideas from college offenses.

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

Its too easy to dismiss him this way. He had a Top 5 offense for 3 years with one playbook and approach. He had another for 2 years with the no huddle.

That doesn't happen very often. Manning, who was his own OC and Belichick are the only ones who surpass it. Even Sean Peyton had down years with Brees at the helm.

I don't think firing MM during the season solves anything. And Putting Pettine in there would just detract from his ability to get this defense pointed in the right direction. If they had to make a change mid-season, I think Philbin would be the better choice. Hostler could serve as the OC. But you only replace MM now if you have a frickin' team mutiny, and I don't see any signs of that.

What has this board come to? I have no Mikes on my list.

[Fosco33]

Real question. Was M3 kept to pacify 12 before he signed. Van Pelt and Jordy gone...

it's not like a coaching change is going to make any difference. everything is already tuned for Rodgers abilities and he can change any play he wants to at the line. a coaching change this late in Rodgers' career would be counter productive imo. you think a new coach is going to go in there and tell Rodgers the way it's going to be? only Rodgers himself can change his game/mindset. it's talent and execution. they don't have enough talent, or the guts to get it, and their execution is trending downward...including Rodgers'. they'll continue to waddle around in the 9-10 win zone as Rodgers gets ever closer to 40 if they're lucky. saw a quote today that tells the story...in their last 47 games the Packers are 23-23-1.

that said...Go Pack!

Ya know, in 1929, Curly won a championship as a player-coach. I think Gutes needs to hand over the keys to Rodgers. It can work. Rodgers can BRING BLACK VANPELT! as his OC.

I don't think Rodgers is quite to the point that he is Peyton Manning and running his own offense. My money would be on him adapting.

Also, a continuing series of reminders that Free Agency is a terrible, terrible idea at almost all times.

Tramon and Morrison seem to be working out just fine

Maybe not there, but is the situation getting close to Favre/Sherman, where many felt the QB couldn't be controlled by the HC?

There is definitely a disconnect there now. But I don't think that means he won't buy into a different scheme.

And Sherman reined Favre's worst instincts in for 4+ years. And all he did was run the ball.

The fact of the matter is that the team might just need to crater for a year to rebuild.
