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.

    • I have seen little inclination that they are laying down on him, that I can agree with. I don't think we are going to ever see much in the way of unfiltered opinions in the public realm from his teammates because that's extremely rare and extremely toxic behavior.  It's certainly a positive thing that they support him but, again, that doesn't make a successful NFL starting QB. Playing well on Sunday's does.  That is what has been lacking to date. He is not playing well consistently enough to be considered an NFL starting QB. He has to improve there. Be more consistent. Be more decisive. Make correct decisions more frequently. 
    • That's fine but for every Kurt Warner there are 10 Tony Banks that don't find their spot because....it never really existed.  Jake Browning was on and off practice squad teams for years until he stuck in Cincy. In his limited action over the past two seasons, he has played well enough that the Bengals panic traded for 41 year old Joe Flacco. It's easy to point to outliers like Warner or Purdy or Tom Brady as players who fell through the cracks because....well, they are outliers. The statistics over the long term have never really borne out the argument that every QB is just waiting for their perfect spot and situation. Most of these guys bounce around the league and it just never really clicks anywhere or they become marginal backup QB's. I don't think that exactly an accident. It's tough to be a starting NFL QB and it's why the hunt every offseason is so frantic. There are just so few that do it at a high level. My guess is that a theoretical market for Bryce Young(today) is going to look a lot like that post Chicago Justin Fields market. Not a lot of interest and a late round pick value at the highest. And a lot of that IS going to be his average to below average physical traits. It's extremely tough to be in that range and excel in the NFL. And it's precisely because you DO have to be closer to perfection to make up for the fact that you can't do a lot of the things that the elite to above average starters in this league do. 
    • Im never not impressed by how confidently wrong you are. I've watched probably 200 NFL QBs play live. This talk about Bryce's arm strength is retarded, pure and simple. Bryce can make every throw an NFL QB needs to make in any circumstance. Does he have an arm that makes you go wow all the time? No, but very few QBs truly do. Bryce has plenty of zip on the ball when he wants. That TD to XL was a frozen rope. He throws to the opposite hash and outside all the time with no problem. Bryce's arm is objectively stronger than Cam's post-injury. I've seen both live multiple times and I know. And Cam could still play QB well without his rocket launcher. OPs point remains. QB success relies on a lot of nebulous things. Obviously you dont like Bryce. But his success is not going to be bc he doesn't have the arm strength. Its embarrassing this is a thing. Go to some games and actually educate yourself.
