Before the national media (because I don't see it coming as much from the local media) turns this into a feeding frenzy on Big Mike, I just wanted to point out some compliments for Big Mike from people who have an opinion that matters. I think some people think this team just magically got its act together this year. No one, not many here, and not many people in the national media, gave us a shot to be where we are at now. You can take down the man when we're losing, but you also have to prop him when we're winning.

Well, I mean, first of all, I’d say Mike’s one of the best coaches in the league, one of the best coaches I’ve ever gone up against,” Belichick said. “I’m sure whatever he’s doing is the right thing. I have a lot of respect for him. I’m sure whatever decisions he’s making for the Green Bay Packers are good ones and ones that he thinks are right. I personally wouldn’t question anything he does.
Aaron Rodgers on Green Bay critics a few years back:
I think people don't understand how difficult it is to win in this league and win consistently. The success that we've had here, it's tough to do. We've set the standard pretty high.
But I wouldn't listen to some of those people out there. I mean, they're not in this locker room, they're not in the meeting rooms, they're not in the practice environments. They don't know what's going on, they don't know the type of work ethic that we have here and that Mike has here.

Troy Aikman on Big Mike and his impact on the offense:
I feel good. I felt good about him when he was in Green Bay each year and every time we spoke to him and the plan. He seemed to have a good vision on what he wanted to do and what he wanted to accomplish. I think when he took this job, much like each season, each offseason there in Green Bay, he has a clear understanding of what it is that he wants to get accomplished and what that team’s going to look like. And I think he’s flexible. I am surprised that he’s not calling plays, I still think he’ll be very involved in the offense, that’s his expertise. But in Green Bay, he gave up the play calling and when he took it back he said he’d never give it up again, that it’s something he feels that he’s good at.
