And I’d just like to be one of the first to say to Cowboys fans everywhere. HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!!!!!!!!!
January 6th, 2020 at 1:03 PM ^
Super Bowl ring, great record, bunch of division crowns. Yeah, what a clown...
Would MUCH rather have him on the Lions sidelines compared to what we have now.
January 6th, 2020 at 1:42 PM ^
So your standard of success as a coach is that he does better than the Lions? Wow, that’s a pretty high bar you’ve got there.
McCarthy had a hall of fame QB for all 13 seasons he was in GB. Including the 11 years of Rodgers being the starter where he posted the highest average QB rating IN LEAGUE HISTORY.
Besides that, there were multiple seasons in his tenure where the Packers were top 3 in overall talent in the league and, despite all these weapons, he went to a single Super Bowl 9 years ago.
So he won a bunch of NFC North titles....BFD. That means, with the Lions not even being a real NFL franchise and Bears repeatedly playing grabass ,he had to essentially beat only Minnesota for the title most of the time.
GB did as well as they did despite McCarthy and the only reason he kept his job as long as he did is because Rodgers kept finding ways to pull out games late that McCarthy had found a way to bumblefuck his way into almost losing.
No one consistently did less with more.
January 6th, 2020 at 1:59 PM ^
Just out of curiosity, because I think I know what the answer is. Do you give any credit to McCarthy for turning Rodgers into a HoF player?
January 6th, 2020 at 2:50 PM ^
Not particularly. This never seemed to me like a Brady/Belichick tandem where they each benefitted from the others greatness.
Felt like there were a whole lot more games where it seemed like the game was won because of the individual greatness of Rodgers as opposed to there being a great plan from McCarthy.
He’s got his chance to prove me wrong in Dallas I guess. They’re certainly a team that has a lot of talent that the right coach might be able to tap.
January 6th, 2020 at 4:08 PM ^
I’m sure he’s chomping at the bit to prove you wrong. I mean, it’s probably the only reason he took the job
January 6th, 2020 at 4:48 PM ^
Well duh.
You’d be surprised how many people in the world make their all decisions based solely on how it impacts me in some way. Which is as it should be.
I could tell you the names of some of these people, but then I’d have to kill you.
January 6th, 2020 at 2:02 PM ^
So he gets credit for coaching, developing, designing an offense around, and calling plays that allowed for his quarterback to post the highest average QB rating IN LEAGUE HISTORY, right?
January 6th, 2020 at 2:13 PM ^
O-tay.
January 6th, 2020 at 10:35 AM ^
Solid hire for the Cowboys. I never really understood why GB fired MM. I'm guessing Cleveland will be left with the coaching candidates that nobody else wanted, as always, lol.
January 6th, 2020 at 10:38 AM ^
He was a chronic underperformer in GB. I can’t count all the times his entire game plan seemed to be “Try a bunch of shit that doesn’t work and then have Rodgers bail us out.”
January 6th, 2020 at 10:47 AM ^
Fair enough, but he's still had a better career than any other NFL candidate that's available. I guess they could have rolled the dice on a young unknown, maybe like Lincoln Riley or something
January 6th, 2020 at 11:00 AM ^
Lincoln Riley's current job is better than the Cowboys imo.
January 6th, 2020 at 11:04 AM ^
Yeah but, as usual, the biggest detriment in taking the job as the Cowboys HC is the fact you have to have Jerry Jones’ micromanaging ass as your boss. I have to believe a guy like Riley knows this and is too smart to get sucked into that kind of situation. Not unless he were to be offered a shitton of money.
McCarthy is a good fit from the standpoint that he’s going to just take orders and not make any demands for things like control over player personnel decisions. And he’s got enough of a track record of success that no one is going to question Jones for hiring him.
January 6th, 2020 at 12:33 PM ^
I agree...Rodgers for a few years was considered the most talented QB in the league, with his set of skills, and when C-Wood was there, they had a very good defense, and top notch receivers and he only got to 1 Super Bowl as a 6 seed i believe, but failed to produce in the playoffs, even with home field advantage. I think sometimes the voice in the room gets stale, especially when you don't get over the hump for awhile. (Like Sean Payton also perhaps) A new coach might be able to get more out of the same guys.
January 6th, 2020 at 12:56 PM ^
Idk, was he responsible for the roster? If he was sure because they had some bad defenses and got bit by the injury bug several times. It takes a bit of luck and hitting the draft, retaining your best players in the nfl. Aside from coaching. I always thought they like most teams with an all world qb rely to heavily on the qb to win every snap of every game. Didn't help that Rogers always commanded a salary above that 11% of the salary cap benchmark that is an identifier of ability to win the superbowl vs pay your qb.
January 6th, 2020 at 2:25 PM ^
He was a chronic underperformer in GB... who from the sounds of it was regularly undermined by his QB.

Erin Rodgers didn't like McCarthy and undermined him in order to get him fired. He was very disrespectful to him in practice, team meetings, etc. There were two factions within the Packer locker room, one that supported Rodgers and one that supported McCarthy. Erin won.
Erin Rodgers is one of the biggest dickwads in the NFL. I have many friends who are Packer fans who can't stand him and are rooting for him to retire.
Oh, and Boycott State Farm.
January 6th, 2020 at 11:47 AM ^
"Erin" lmao cant tell if serious
January 6th, 2020 at 12:02 PM ^
Erin Rodgers is one of the biggest dickwads in the NFL
If that's the case, Danica and him are perfect for one another.
January 6th, 2020 at 12:17 PM ^
Which only goes to reinforce my belief that Packer fans are a bunch of dipshits.
January 6th, 2020 at 12:21 PM ^
There isn't a Packer fan out there that wants Rodgers to retire.
January 6th, 2020 at 2:43 PM ^
Come'on man... isn't it the "W"s or performance which matters?
Suh is another colossal dickhead but was revered by the Lions fanbase.
Or look at TO... he was left off of the 100 anniversary roster and people lost their freaking minds that TO wasn't institutionalized as one of the GOATs. TO is a fucking asshole.

January 6th, 2020 at 12:37 PM ^
Sallllty Vikings fan^^^
January 6th, 2020 at 12:38 PM ^
Well, if you have many friends who are Packers fans that want him out, it must be true. I wonder how this hasn’t hit social media or ESPN.
January 6th, 2020 at 12:41 PM ^
This is either a lie or your many packer fan friends are delusional morans. I, as a packer fan, have many packer fan friends, and every one of them dreads the day our run of HOF qbs comes to an end.
January 6th, 2020 at 12:55 PM ^
Guy purports to understand what goes on in the GB locker room, but can't even spell the QB's name. If he does know the correct spelling, the incorrect version is childish, at best.
Neither case has any credibility to it...
January 6th, 2020 at 2:48 PM ^
Maybe he is childish for spelling his first name 'Erin.'
Doesn't change the fact that it's funnier than hell.
January 6th, 2020 at 8:23 PM ^
Like the Chris Everett Jim Rome classic interview.
January 7th, 2020 at 12:59 AM ^
This guy gets it.
January 6th, 2020 at 1:16 PM ^
boycotting state farm is a good idea, but that has nothing to do with erin/aaron rodgers.
January 6th, 2020 at 1:37 PM ^
At first I thought that Erin Rodgers must be Aaron's wife.
January 6th, 2020 at 2:32 PM ^
might be. might be an alien version of rodgers since he believes in such things. either way, it looks like i offended an all-state employee on the board.
January 6th, 2020 at 3:35 PM ^
That could be Rodgers or Mother Teresa in those ads and they would still be godawful.
January 6th, 2020 at 10:38 AM ^
This feels like a wet fart of hire
January 6th, 2020 at 10:52 AM ^
I'm kinda really surprised they didn't wait to try to pry Payton from the Saints after their loss yesterday.
January 6th, 2020 at 11:21 AM ^
As a Saints fan still reeling from the loss yesterday (UGH!) I would have been ok with this. That was some shoddy ass coaching!
January 6th, 2020 at 11:39 AM ^
watching the vikes pathetic play calling in the redzone, i can't believe the OC is still going to be interviewed by anyone.
January 6th, 2020 at 11:50 AM ^
Seemed like the whole weekend was a clinic on crappy coaching.
January 6th, 2020 at 1:01 PM ^
As a Vikings fan, I kept screaming at my TV when Stefanski continuously called plays from the 1 yard line that moved the ball backwards 3-4 yards. Pitch sweep after pitch sweep from the 1 when these outside stretch plays were getting shut down all day.
you’re 3 feet away dumb ass! Line up and smash it in! Or run a fake and throw it to a TE on a flag route or something! Just don’t voluntarily move the back away from the goal line.
pitching it backwards multiple times is just insanity IMO
January 6th, 2020 at 3:38 PM ^
Vikes fan as well.... screaming at the tv in unison with you, which was the reason for my comment to begin with.
i kept waiting for that stupid toss sweep to be used to set up a naked bootleg... never happened.
January 6th, 2020 at 12:08 PM ^
This sounds like Alabama fans being mad about Saban not making the playoff this year. Appreciate what you have man, lol. -signed, Bears Fan
January 6th, 2020 at 12:19 PM ^
You mean The "Aint's"
January 6th, 2020 at 11:04 AM ^
talk about stale
January 6th, 2020 at 11:17 AM ^
Josh McDaniels is one of the Browns leading targets. I'm thinking Urban stays in his current position of OSU assistant head coach.
January 6th, 2020 at 11:35 AM ^
Meyer is an ethics teacher, it's his true calling.
January 6th, 2020 at 12:19 PM ^
McDaniels backed out on a decent Colts job with a reasonable owner and when Luck was still QB. If he is really interested in the Browns and their ego filled roster he’s a bigger idiot than I ever imagined.
January 6th, 2020 at 12:36 PM ^
"Reasonable owner" ???
I'll remind you that Jim Irsay is the owner of the Colts.
January 6th, 2020 at 12:57 PM ^
He's still better to work for than Jerry Jones or Dan Snyder...
