He also made 3 other NFC title games and the playoffs 9 years straight.

Your post makes it seem like he accomplished nothing.

Pete Carroll, Sean Payton, Andy Reid, Mike Tomlin.


There are a bunch of really good coaches out there that have achieved around the same success as McCarthy. Even given Elite quarterbacks.
And Garrett couldn't even get to a NFCCG with Tony Romo. He was gifted a franchise qb and did nothing with it.

It's also somewhat relevant to point out that McCarthy was the OC of the 49ers when they passed on Rodgers for Smith.

True!
Just to add.....

Smith was dealing with an injury and being taken in and out of the lineup by then head coach MIKE NOLAN, Smith played in nine games in his rookie season (2005), recording just one touchdown pass, against the Houston Texans, while throwing 11 interceptions.

There were years he had nothing but a QB. Thompson was worse than Jerry as GM. McCarthy and the Packers won the SB with a 16 guys in IR.
Correction. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers won the Super Bowl with 16 guys on IR. I’m afraid we’re about to find out how reliant he was on two of the best QB’s to ever play the game.

I can’t wait to hear how McCarthy wasted one of the most over rated rosters in Cowboys history.

You realize he had one of the best QB’s to ever play the game his entire HC’ing career, right? AR accomplished more than he did. You also realize that AR literally drew up the play on his hand that ultimately beat us in the playoffs in ‘16, right? You realize we almost beat the Packers in ‘16 due to his conservative play calling in the second half, right?


I’ve never seen a coach do so little with so much. He’s an upgrade over Garrett for sure but his record is extremely misleading if you take into context everything he had.

Jerry makes the ultimate call, but I doubt the decisions are actually much of his when it comes to player acquisition. He might get a bug every now and then for a certain player, but for the most part, it's McClay and the scouts finding the players to add.
I doubt jerry ever heard of that 4th rnd pick till he’s told who he’s gonna be
First rnd or two is fairly easy but by later rnds it’s really tough to have any clue

Bottom line....He's a real HC. Proven. A SB Champion.

This is it chief, I hate this hire. And I am at a all time low in excitement. As much as I love some of the players and this team....not watching is a consideration
If you’re not even going to give him a chance then don’t consider not watching, just don’t.

lol. Garrett did far less with almost as much, and frankly while having total rosters just as good if not better, Sans the QB.

Your post also includes a few almosts. Nobody cares that they “almost” lost the 2016 game. They didn’t. They went on the road, and beat the #1 seed cowboys team. While having a roster with a slew of injuries.


His team had over 10 players on IR the year they won a super bowl.

And again, there are a ton of really good coaches who have accomplished no more despite having QB’s on the same level as Rodgers. Payton wirh Brees. Tomlin with Ben. Carroll with Russell Wilson.

The narrative that he “didn’t accomplish much” given having an elite QB is nonsense. He accomplished a ton. Other great head coaches haven’t accomplished much more.

remember Dungy with Peyton Manning? Took him a while to only win one Super Bowl too.

Only coach to achieve more is Belichek.

I’d throw some solid money at Vikings safety Anthony Harris. The dude is an absolute Ball hawk and a UFA. I doubt the Vikings will be able to afford both Smith and him at safety.

This is a joke. I love how many people criticize Garrett for wasting Romo’s years, among other players, yet McCarthy had Rodgers for 11 years and a much more talented roster than Garrett ever had but he only came away with one SB. Let the crying begin.


exactly, where have we heard this before..lol

McCarthy tried to lose that game about 9 times on Sunday, and each time his defense or Rodgers bailed him out. You can tweak him for clock management or call him out for personnel decisions, but my biggest issue with McCarthy is a simple one: He doesn’t coach to win. He coaches not to lose.

Haha..delusional homer. Please correct me if I’m wrong, are you saying Tony Romo and Aaron Rodgers were equivalent?

And you’re right, no one cares about “almost” yet people consistently bring up his playoff records which is “almost”. I don’t care about how many playoff games he won, would you be content if Garrett won 8 playoff games? No, you would still whine and complain about how he did nothing and wasted a “talented” roster.

Glad you award participation points. When he wins a few playoff games I better not see you crying about how he wasted such a “talented” roster.

Tompson was terrible. They let all of the best players get away. At least McCarthy took that talent and brought it to the playoffs many times over. What has Garrett done when given talent?

Rogers also might be one of the greatest QBs of all time. However, he came with allot of baggage. He never got along with McCarthy from the beginning and never really cared for his teammates. In fact, Rogers, seemed to overruled alot of what McCarthy was doing. Most of the criticism about McCarthy is coming from Rogers only - who has a personal vendetta against from the start. Try coaching a QB that hates you and keeps overruling you all the time. Couple that with Tompson, who was worst than Jerry. I don't think McCarthy is the best coach possible. But people gotta give him a bit of credit too for handling that messy situation in Green Bay.


it's not only Rodgers..lol

I've never hate, what I hate is the ignorance. I'll support McCarthy just as I supported Jason, but don't come in here with that weak stuff you'll cries about with Jason and Mike has been criticized for the same exact thing...lol

The good news about it is that Jerry should have a much shorter leash. McCarthy will either win right away or he'll be gone in three years. Jerry wasted 10 years of talent with Garrett. I think McCarthy will know how to use the talent that we have. Garrett was allowed to fail over and over because he was treated like a son.

Aside from Rodgers, the team this year was by far more talented top to bottom than anything McCarthy had. His defenses were AWFUL and he was using WRs at RB.

Lol, please. We have a good O line and RB, aside from that this team is extremely over rated.
