Official Fire Mike McCarthy Thread

[red]

yeah, ive been thinking about the next coach too

its gotta be someone strong willed who will put his foot down and correct rodgers

i don't know if a young hot shot is gonna be able to do that. we don't need another coach that a-rods if gonna walk over

and have we already gone past the point of no return. has fat mike allowed rodgers ego to grow so much that he can never be coached again?

[mraynrand]

Ironically, Stubby was the guy who came in and got Favre to bend to his will regarding protecting the ball/risky throws. So a OC/QB coach type who has some cache around the league, like Stubby did, should be able to get through to him.

[Sparkey]

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.

Except for having just witnessed Rodgers try for an assist with the bounce pass to MVS. Plus watching Rodgers bitch and whine all the time, it feels like watching Jay Cutler self implode...

I didn't think they were winning no matter what they tried.

Analogy would be two guys in a boat, each with an oar, trying to go towards oppposite shores.

Rodgers is the bigger problem right now. Third and 3, Jones is wide open in the middle, no one within 10 yards of him and Rodgers looks past him for a "bigger" play and gets tripped up for a sack. Until someone knocks pretty boy up side the hide, this will continue regardless of who the coaches are.

And to think I got ripped last year for calling him 'Prissy Erin'. The shoe fits Cinderella. It's a double edged sword with guys like Judas and Erin; They get to a point where they think their shit don't stink. The difference between Erin and Brady is one is a winner. And don't pull the 'cheating' card out because other teams did the same things the Pats were 'busted' for....

[Anti-Polar Bear]

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.

Holy fuck! Yes, BRING BLACK SHERMAN!

Remember Baltimore Rodgers’ rookie year? All 12 did in that game was throw checks downs to Bill Henderson.

Sherman oversaw the greatest rushing attack in Packers history since Lombardi was promoting interracial relations for the Packers.

Season is going as I hoped it would, keep us entertained with close games but lose. Get rid of the fat walrus, fat mike, and let's try to salvage at least a couple of Rodgers remaining good years. And I still would not be surprised to see a new coach clean house, including Rodgers if the trade was advantageous to the Packers. This ain't your grandfather's NFL anymore, loyalty takes a distant back seat to winning da games. And yeah, Tex, I realize your head is gonna explode but let's see who turns out to be right.

I am not sure its not looking. Jones had two catches for 1 yard each in the second half (not all Jones fault).

This team has NEVER put drives together like the Patriots do and I think Rodgers trust this offense less than ever to do it now.

Which raises the question why did they sign him for a year if not to satisfy Rodgers?

[texaspackerbacker]

Count me in on firing McCarthy. The 4th and 2 as well as the not challenging that non-catch due to wasted time outs were the last straws for me. I would like to see him go soon, definitely at the end of the season regardless of how things go from here on.

Just the same, I doubt it happens - 60/40 or 70/30 McCarthy is still the head coach next season.

Ouch

Packers coach Mike McCarthy has parlayed the absence of a traditional owner and the presence of a transcendent quarterback into the kind of job security that few other coaches enjoy. McCarthy’s ability to escape scrutiny may now be coming to an end, and he has only himself to blame for it.

on 4th and 2

Definitely but we had the injuries to Kenny Clark and Mike Daniels,” McCarthy said in defending his decision. “So there was definitely consideration but we had just the one timeout and the ability to stop the clock with two minutes left. We played the numbers. We did consider taking a timeout and going for it on fourth and two.”

WTF? so because your 2 best defenders are hurt you decide to let the defense try and get the ball back

and how is it a good situation to get the ball back with 1 timeout and a 2 minute warning?

what fucking numbers? do you know how to use numbers? because i have my doubts you do

the guy is a grade A fucking idiot

yeah, I get it.

"For the third straight loss in a road game the Packers could have won, a member of the organization took the ball out of Aaron Rodgers‘ hands at a key moment."

Stubby just saw that third down pass. What he supposed to do? It's ugly either way, but I think you go for it. It's not that big of a blunder. To me, the (lack of) production on third down and overall in the second half is far more troubling.

really? in that situation with a very depleted defense, the numbers gotta say that you probably aren't getting the ball back if you punt

I agree. I'm just saying it's not the worst blunder from the game. Plenty of others higher in the queue. (Because even if they convert the fourth, maybe they just keep mucking it up like they did THE ENTIRE SECOND HALF)

theres no doubt about that

now i see what you're saying, thats a good point

[KYPack]

I read those PFT articles.

They were so strong on MM, I thought Red wrote 'em on a whiskey buzz..

The good ship McCarthy is going down.

Trying to figure the next coach and staff.

Mikey and '18 are toast.
