Half of you please shield your eyes for a moment.
So either Fat Mike has no conviction in his beliefs and has done a 180 on what he told us he wanted on defense last year.
Or that lunatic owner has a new puppet.
I'll let you decide.
Ok, you can all look now.
I love this move.
How can anyone possibly claim Big Mac has no convictions, when the record clearly shows that over his now 14 years as an NFL head coach no one has been more willing to say or do whatever he believes his superiors want him to in order to keep his job -- and to deflect blame from himself, than one Michael John McCarthy.
Indeed, it takes considerable conviction to play the sycophant role as well as Big Mac has these many years.
I mean are Cowboy fans not aware that, in response to criticism after another year of pathetic Packer defense and his lackluster overall game management prevented the team from advancing in the playoffs, McCarthy publicly assured Green Bay fans that he was giving up play offensive calling duties to turn his full attention to the defense and the overall team (

Only to vow to never again relinquish his play calling duties not even a full season later? (
https://www.nfl.com/news/mike-mccar...ished play-calling,those duties in the future) in response to more criticism of the team's play?
BTW, does Big Mac call plays in Big D ... or is that something else he was willing to go back on in order to "convince" Jerry he was the right man for the job -- by allowing Kellen Moore call the plays?
