Over/under on days until Fat Mike misses a meeting to get a massage?

If Stubby returns to Lambeau in blue and white, he's getting a standing O, right? According to Joe's thread, that won't be next year though.

More time that it will take for Cowboys fans to complain Mike is ignoring the run game.

Happy for MM, will be interesting to see how he's changed with his year off.

Hat tip to all the posters who said MM was a joke and would never coach again in the league.

Also a reminder that almost all NFL people remember who beat them.

Sherman remembered Denver's defense against GB and hired Donatell.

Gute remembered the two losses to Atlanta and put La Fleur on the interview list.

Jones obviously remembers getting stung by McCarthy's Packer teams.

New Cowboys’ HC Mike McCarthy stayed over Jerry Jones’ house on Saturday night, per source. “Once you stay at Jerrry’s house, he doesn’t lose his guy,” said source.

WONDER HOW MUCH JOHNNY WALKER BLUE WAS INVOLVED?

Gregg Rosenthal @greggrosenthal
Garrett and McCarthy share an agent yet Garrett was begging for his job at the same time McCarthy was asking for extra bath towels at Jerry’s house.

DOES MAKE ME WONDER AGAIN WHY THEY WERE MEETING AND THEN WAITING? UNTIL THEY ANNOUNCED HIS REMOVAL THIS WEEKEND, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A JOINT ANNOUNCEMENT. WERE THEY KEEPING GARRETT DANGLING?

All those media shitheads who got this right that Garrett was going to be fired. What do they know?

FWIW, I've been one of the biggest Big Mac cheerleaders here, but at one point I did speculate whether he'd *want* to coach again due to having to uproot his family, his weight problem, his career earnings being so high, etc. I am not sure it's the right choice for him personally but I wish him well and think he'll do a good job. He was always all class in GB and put the team first. I have no complaints or ill will towards Big Mac.

I didn't think he was a joke. But I did think there was a possibility that teams would decide that his time as a HC was up due to a changing game. I think the fact that MM didn't just sit back in his recliner and wait for teams to call was a key. He diligently prepared for his next job opportunity.

I agree 100% on whether it's the "right" thing to do, but I'm sure it's been eating him up not to be coaching.

Does Jerry actually have a house or is that referring to AT&T Stadium?

I feel like Cowboy Mike Stubby deserves his own thread where we can laugh at the media fodder, etc

Mike McCarthy went 7-3 against the Cowboys while with Green Bay, including two divisional-round playoff wins. That played a part in this decision by the Joneses. They also came away impressed with the work he did as he sat out in 2018, including a... https://es.pn/36unJQ0

Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky
Was told one of the big reasons the Cowboys liked McCarthy was they felt he regularly beat them with what they thought was inferior talent. In short, they thought he outcoached them.

Pretty sure he has a home, but maybe he is just renting?
