Official nice things to say about Mike McCarthy thread

Zimmer may be the next coach of the Packers

Whether Zimmer was right or wrong in his power struggle with the OC, that whole drama, and the ineffective offense really damages him. If the Vikings let him go, I think he gets hired elsewhere, but not sure the Packers would pull that trigger seeing what they invested in the offense.

Hearing former Packers coach Mike McCarthy will be the next head coach of the Browns.

The other open job with a QB might be the Cardinals.

Vikings are in a tough spot. Almost no salary cap room, and paying 28 million per year to a QB with a clear reputation for not playing well in big games.

Browns also requested interview with Flores and will interview Bounty Williams.

It's interesting how the loss of a coach (OC in this case) often upsets the balance of a good team. The Vikings last year looked like they might dominate for a few years, at least.

The Packers never really regained their footing after Philbin left. The Falcons struggled a lot after Shannahan left. The Eagles staff got picked apart and they are struggling as well.

I'm waiting for Fangio to get called up and the Bears defense to fall off

Flores?!

[mraynrand]

Flores?!

Brian Flores, NE LB coach and provisional coordinator. Yes.

Brian Flores, NE LB coach and provisional coordinator. Yes.

Yeah I know. But people ought to have figured this out by now.

Dear Stubby, thanx for being a part of a Green Bay Packers super bowl win - especially versus a NFL powerhouse like Steelers.

Keeping it positive and now that he's gone the criticisms no longer matter:

Former Packer Head Coach Mike McCarthy can claim he shares some history with the only other ' Super Bowl Winning HC ' fired before the Seasons end. That fella was also of Irish American Heritage or ' the Colts’ Don McCafferty ', FIRED before the regular season schedule ended 46 Years ago.

** Mike McCarthy recorded a second best final result for his Career Head Coaching stint on the Packers' all-time wins list, behind only Hall of Famer Curly Lambeau (212). He left the Packers with 135 Regular Season and Post Season WINS ! Oversal;l MM had a 135 - 85 and 2 Ties Record for a 0.608 Winning Percentage.
*

* This is impressive and Mike McCarthy loved the community of Green Bay and it seemed to me that he gave back to his community. He was a
'a blue coller' fella and fiurehead in a community that would easily accept him.:

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Jets are expected to interview former Packers coach Mike McCarthy for their head coaching job.
This will be his first known interview. Despite widespread interest, McCarthy has mostly laid low since his departure from Green Bay. McCarthy has been noncommittal about coaching in 2019, citing a reluctance to uproot his family. However, the Jets appear to have piqued his interest and for good reason. With a high draft pick coming and a future franchise quarterback in Sam Darnold, not to mention the bright lights and prestige of coaching in New York City, the Jets' vacancy presents arguably the most enticing job in this year's coaching cycle. Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic reported Sunday the Browns were zeroing in on McCarthy, though that seems to have been a misnomer.

He's been linked to the Cardinals, Browns, Jets and Bucs. Browns are the best job in that group. Jets and Cardinals need new GMs. No idea what is happening to the Bucs except they can throw TDs like no one's business.

I heard (can't remember the source) that AZ was willing to offer McCarthy full control to get him.

Sort by winning percentage. He's number 20, and would be 19 if not for a rough year this year obviously.

Ball don't lie - so why do you? My post was 100% factual and accurate. Was yours?

Tony Dungy....Better than Bill Walsh and Curly Lambeau...got it.

Payton is losing on flukes in the playoffs. He is also trying and being creative. Stubby was uncreative his last 3 or 4 years and really not very good.
