Update on #Bears DC Vic Fangio: The #Dolphins, who requested him and did research, ended up not scheduling an interview with Fangio. So, it’s just the #Broncos for him. Miami, meanwhile, is still slated to interview ST coach Darren Rizzi this week.

Analytics:

“If you want to question my playcalling … I’m not questioning it” McCarthy told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel after the game. “I came in here to run the ball. The one statistic I had has as far as a target to hit was 20 rushing attempts in the second half. I thought that would be a very important target to hit for our offense.”

Story was about Packers loss to the Seahawks. He doesn't know analytics, he knows some numbers in a chart.

The funny part about that quote, to me, is that McCarthy often pointed to changing game conditions or situations when it came to his team getting out of balance. And at the end of that game, after Starks, I think, gained six yards on first down, he had the chance to run a play-action pass for what likely would have been an easy, easy first down, using a quarterback who'd played a hell of a game and an offensive line that had pass-blocked really well.

So the particular defenses the Seahogs were throwing out there were so heavily run-based that having the best QB in the game should have meant you were in a situation in which you could've passed for a couple of first downs - then after that you could've run out the clock, and it wouldn't have mattered if you got a first down out of it or not. That situation called for first downs more than time off clock.

Just think what the Seachickens were able to do to the Packers Cover 0 blitz in OT. Easy pickings.

I'd like to see what McCarthy can do with Mayfield or Darnold.

retard their growth?

turn them into monsters that think they run the show?

Kliff Kingsbury is the koach of the Kardinals.

I think the Kardinals reached for someone who likely still needs seasoning in the NFL. But time will tell.

Kingsbury reminds me a lot of Lane Kiffin. I anticipate a spectacular fail in Phoenix.

It doesn't sound like stubby is the sought after coach so many thought he would be.

Bucs finalizing deal with Bruce Arians.

Broncos job down to Fangio and Munchak.

Arizona really reached, and it's really obvious.

Schaffer and Demovsky reporting its Jets or bust for McCarthy. He’s not interested in any other job.

That guy will have to work hard to hire staff. Not as many contacts in NFL.

There's always one or two organizations that wear the mantle of "buffoon" in the NFL. Looks like Arizona has taken the lead in that department, though Detroit shows a lot of potential with Bob Quinn breaking a branch off the ol' Belichek coaching tree with Matt Patricia.

Is there any other job?

Stubby has been thoroughly stained by playoffs failures and - Fair or not - the clear perception that Rodgers was responsible for any success the Packers had. Stubbers seems to get zero credit for developing Rodgers, has been raked over the coals for the Hundley debacle, and was held responsible for this year as well despite the sub par play of Rodgers (understandable) and the scuttling of the team. Stubby may have to experience the coach laundering rehabilitation of an OC position somewhere before he's given the reigns again.
