Mike McCarthy sounds like he is auditioning for a Tepper interview

Mike McCarthy in a recent interview...

 

"No matter where he ends up, McCarthy doesn't envision a total teardown. ("I'm not a believer in [that]," he said. "I think every one of these opportunities that will be available, there's resources in there that you have to make sure you're aware of and try to utilize.") He wants to better use technology and analytics. ("We were definitely on the average side at best in my time in Green Bay there. I've looked at every team in the league and their commitment to analytics, and football technology and video. Because everybody has analytics, but it has to be part of your everyday operation to show up on Sundays.") At the forefront of the program will be player wellness, including dedicated resources for mental health. ("You have to develop the locker room from every possible angle. It can't be a subcontractor. It needs to be part of your everyday operation.")"

 

Tepper probably raising his eyebrows while reading this.

McCarthy's "project" is interesting. He's got three other coaches (former DC Jim Haslett, former QB Coach Frank Cignetti Jr and former defensive quality control guy Scott McGurley) that he has regular meetings with just as if they were a coaching staff.

Tom Pelissero wrote about it of NFL.com (link) and he has a video interview with McCarthy in his Twitter,

Well he picked enough Pittsburgh guys to at least make Tepper think about it. Heck I played for Frank Sr.

What do your know about any of these guys and their offensive innovation? McCarthy has never struck me as all that innovative. I've had enough slow-mo football where it almost seems like the coach is afraid to press the gas and leave tread marks on the opposition. All that playing down to the competition and essentially rubber banding yourself to them until you pull away at the last moment is for the birds.

Mccarthy is a lateral move at best 

You're probably right. Pretty much anything you can say about Rivera wasting Cam’s prime here, you can say about McCarthy wasting Rogers except they actually won one SB, but I’d chalk that up to the refs actually protecting Rogers instead of letting him be headhunted.

Yeah, we don't need a retread like that. Need some new blood

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
