The need for Speed

I disagree with this assessment of McCarthy's leadership. That was fine. His self-assessment of the offense was another matter entirely.

James Jones got open deep because he had just enough quickness to get on a CB and was big enough to body him out of the way. Jordy was taller and maybe heavier, but Jones was a load.

If he hadn't developed a problem with over the shoulder catches at one point, he probably gets some Pro Bowl votes. And no one wanted to tangle with him over the middle. Remember that safety he flattened in Cincy?

Sitton upset me TRADE HIM. Randall pointed out my mistake TRADE HIM! Montgomery fumbled and we lost and I'm feeling the heat TRADE HIM!!!!

Edit: The groundskeeper asked me if we would win the super bowl FIRE HIM AND KILL HIS CHILDREN.

Wait....Wait...the ref in a high school basketball game missed a call....NUKE THE BUILDING!!!

I remember the preseason game where the DB crushed him and sent his helmet flying. DB stayed down. Jones ran for a TD....with no helmet.

I agree with Sitton but I think that was a group decision to give Taylor one more camp to prove himself, otherwise they go the approved McGinn route and deal him for draft picks in March. So I don't think this was a snit, but it was a poorly executed decision.

Monty wrote his own check out of town but I think this was Gute telling McCarthy to play Jones.

In general, this is going to happen with coaches are are bred and trained to be control freaks. McCarthy wasn't too bad in this area (see Patricia, Matt). But it did get worse after Ted was faltering and M3 got his huge melon into the room.

Also, it’s either true or false that Stubby’s hand was forced on the Randall issue by team leaders. They wanted him gone during the season and Stubbers asked them to wait until the end because they lacked bodies.

Every coach will have some personality conflicts. If this is as bad as it was/all the examples for 13 years, that’s really nothing much.

I would love to know the story. But I wonder of Randall's desire to play safety (if that itself was true then) ruffled some feathers among the detritus at the Packers safety position. Randall wasn't completely nuts, though he lacked some self control. He called out Jones' poor play. But this could be part of the agenda pushing as well.
