Packers fire head coach Mike McCarthy

[JonLP24]

Name Joe Philbin head coach.

[exboyfil]

1. The next Browns coach?

[Auggie]

12. How about some younger blood, like Josh McDaniels?

McDaniels/Mayfield. Cool.

[LakeArenal]

2. Nothing surprises me once they got rid of Jordy.

3. Losing to Arizona is bad. A-Aron Rodgers is clearly running the show.

The Packers are like a one punch fighter - relying on the knockout (A-Aron) and when it doesn't happen they find themslves losing on points.

4. I think Arizona is better than their record

Finally won a close game though. They lost some close ones to Seattle & Chicago. Oakland as well.

What I mean is they have talent.

5. and what's funny, I don't think it was ALL MM's fault. Aaron is off, their WR's are at the bottom

of the barrel......and the defense IS NOT WHAT YOU'D CALL SUPER. JMHO. MM had a great record with the Packers, but, I do think his time had come. Thanks for the memories Mike.

6. Mike's a great coach

But in professional sports, it's all about "What have you done for me.......LATELY?"

[Wellstone ruled]

7. So true,watch for action on the Minn Vikings

hunch Zimmer is headed for the unemployment line after today.

[calguy]

8. Yes. The season's looking dimmer for Zimmer

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Add this to it,

64 million dollar flop.

[exboyfil]

13. Do you mean $84M?

I would not go so far as to say that. Do you think the Vikings would have been better if they signed Keenum to a Broncos type contract and signed someone like Norwell with the remaining amount? Or Bridgewater's $6M and even additional help if it was available in free agency.

[Wellstone ruled]

14. Holy crap,84 mil

for Mr.Happy Feet?

Been gone for minny to long. Until the Front Office of that organization really changes, we will have a so so run Team.

[exboyfil]

16. I thought he was Checkdown Charlie

The 4th down pass to Treadwell was inexplicable.

[Wellstone ruled]

17. When this Guy was signed

the first thing my Spouse said is this,he can not take handle the Pressure Games. And when the pass to Treadwell came,that did it. Treadwell is another Turd circling the drain of wasted money.

That is another story of how Agent's can screw up a Team.

[exboyfil]

18. Keenum may have thrown an interception

but he would not have thrown a meaningless pass.

Well the Vikings have him for two more years.

[Wellstone ruled]

19. Thing to watch are Ticket Sales.

The Political Landscape has shifted big time in Minny. Tons of new John Marti's now in the State Legislature and the days of Corporate Welfare and coming to a end.

And the Carpet-Baggier Pro Team Owners well be told to put up or shut up.

[pbmus]

10. So fire the head coach because he couldn't protect Aaron...

Spend some money on the offensive line...

[TheRealNorth]

11. Rodgers' inaccuracy this season is part of the problem

I'm not sure if the collarbone injury last year has affected his throwing motion or velocity.

But it seems like there has been all sorts of issues in the locker room McCarthy was not able to manage without trading/releasing players.

[Wellstone ruled]

15. With Nelson being dumped,

the whole atmosphere changed.

[bluedigger]

20. He sealed his own fate with that post game interview.

"I don't know what we're going to do" (paraphrasing) is never the right answer for the head coach.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. I Thought Of A Different Interpretation

What if he knew his ass was toast? He didn't say "i don't know what we're going to do" meaning no ideas. Maybe the accent was on the "we're" because he knew he was not going to be part of "we" for very long.
