Official Fire Mike McCarthy Thread

[yetisnowman]

It's just time for a change. Honestly he should get fired for his terrible clock/TO management and situational football alone. Nevermind the scheme and playcalling. Aaron deserves a lot of the blame but we can't fire him. I can't believe he did not challenge that catch. After blowing 2 TOS just scrambling to get the ball snapped. And punting on 4th and 2, with one TO when our defense was hurt and exhausted. It really is dumb. There's no sugarcoating it.

Stubby was very pleased at the half

If after watching another lost game/season you think we can’t do better than fat mike... then hand in your fan card. This shit is lame. I’m done caring this year.

To the contrary, I think it's more give up your fan card when you stop caring. McCarthy is a top 5 coach in the league. It's just time for something new. He'll be Andy Reid 2.0 and lead Cleveland back to the Playoffs.

Perhaps a nice parting gift?

^^^ I hear they only put up to $200 on a card. That's not even a snack for Stubbers.*



*Oh, I could just buy more than one card. See, I can ADJUST. I'm not a fat fucking moron.

Nothing is too good for Waffle Iron Mike.

100% agree. That D was gassed. Anyone who thought there was any chance of getting a stop is high. Definitely had a much better chance to convert 4th and 2.

Doubt it. He has never won anywhere except here. His coaching tree is a flag pole. If not for the superior roster MM gave him early on he wouldn't have lasted 5 years. I know andy reid and fat mike is no andy reid.

It is all you can eat. MM doesn’t have to pay for 5 people to eat the amount he wants. $200 is just fine.

I remember when the feds declared a five mile radius 'famine zone' around Denny Green. Homeland security might have to do something similar with Stubby.

Mike Pettitine should be given the HC job and hire a good OC to take care of the offense, someone AR actually likes.

I'd prefer a HC and/or OC who can get Rodgers to throw the easy check down instead of taking sacks and punting because they can't convert third downs.

Someone explain to me who is out there who will force Rodgers' eyes to look short. At least hire a guy who will force him to hand the ball off to the most effective running back in the league a few more times.

Danica forces him to look short

This. Rodgers body language is terrible, and his performance -- even if the knee is still bothering/affecting him -- has been below average (for him). Bringing in some hotshot OC who's younger than him could be a hard sell. However, M3 calls some weird games, and the playbook updates aren't working out. Actually, the situational stuff (3rd downs, red zone) are what's really killing this team. They're putting up yards, just not when it counts...and not when it scores points.

To play devil's advocate: why does AR have to like the OC? It's his job to be the QB...plus he allegedly gets lots of input in the offense, and he can audible in/out of calls.
Appeasing your franchise player can be risky, depending on what that appeasement is and the precedent it sets.

(Caveat: I think Rodgers getting along with the coaches matters from a results perspective. IMO happy QB = less drama = less distractions = better team. I wouldn't fire a coach midseason because they disagree though.)

Does Murphy need to step in and get them to clear the air? Something is off...
