McCarthy interviewed after Colts game


Jmac

Recommended Posts

Per David Newton (dubious at best), says M.McCarthy was interviewed after the Colts loss. He is available to interview and looks like Tepper brought him in to talk.

So he apparently is on the list. What u think? I am not sold at all about this. I guess since he has strong ties to Pittsburgh and is considered more of an offensive minded guy, Tepper may like that. ESPN Adam Schefter also reporting this.

 

Another retread...what u got?

Why would it matter if he has ties to Pittsburgh? You think Tepper is going thru his list and checking off names that aren’t from the area or have never worked with the Steelers?
 

This better be nothing but a courtesy interview , just curious to see what Mike has to offer. If he gets the job this team will continue to be the trash heap you see now.

He has a ring. Got ran out of Green Bay for not winning it every other year. He regularly was 9-7 or better and in the conversation. Just the year we went 7-8-1, he was 1 play from that SB...

RR's ties to San Diego were obvious---Buffalo might have strong feelings about Beane's ties to Carolina....

Tepper needs to interview as many potential candidates as early as possible to pick their brains on our players,other players,coaches,schemes, etc. He has a head start on building an information base from a variety of sources and should talk to as many as he can before he makes any decision.

He won 61% (nearly 2 of 3) games as a head coach for 12 years and he was 10-8 (55%) in the post season. 
Rodgers is a difficult person to work with--his own family does not like him.

However, a coach that wins 61% of his games with Aaron Rodgers and Brett Farve as QBs....and has 1 ring in 12 years....is that good?

If we hired this guy, it would be Siefert all over again.

With the same idiot GM bringing in bad QBs lol

New coach is supposed to be given a say in the next front office hire.

McCarthy might suggest Browns assistant GM - and son of longtime Packers GM Ron Wolf - Eliot Wolf

Not to mention, has any Super Bowl winning retread every won the big one elsewhere? None that I can think of.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
