I don't remember McCarthy's teams ever being noted for their defense and in fact, poor defenses really kept Green Bay from winning more championships with Aaron Rodgers.
Where in this link does it show that?
It doesn't.
He's had a few blips of good years but most of his defenses were not good. That's why he hasn't been a coordinator in 5 years. Looks like a better position coach than DC.
Agree.
he doesn’t need to be DC.

His team defenses rank among the worst in the NFL.

Thanks. I don't know why I didn't see that. In any case, what this shows is good years and bad years and in between years. I imagine that's not uncommon for a long time coordinator.It's right here
Referencing off this link, it seems accurate for the few years I've verified.

A big part of that was just Thompson refusing to sign players. I can't think of another team that purposely rolled out so little talent on defense while actually trying to win.I don't remember McCarthy's teams ever being noted for their defense and in fact, poor defenses really kept Green Bay from winning more championships with Aaron Rodgers.
Atlanta also had no defensive talent at that time. Go look at those rosterslast time he was a DC was in ATL... they weren't very good. However, his teams always create turnovers. Which is something i think this team has did one time in ten years.

It appears the majority of his bad years he was HC and not solely tasked with the defense or he was coaching a talent starved Atlanta defense. Id also point to how often his defenses were in the top half of the league. To state his defenses are consistently among the worst in the league is an exaggeration. Im not saying I love the hire, but going off his history its not a bad hire either.
