The great thing about Acho is that he is a HOF coach, as well as a HOF reciever who was COACHED .
So when it comes to coaching (not playing) , his opinion is way more valid than anyone's .
Yep .
ahh nah , wait …

That wasn’t Moore or Quinn leading that speech?
Right, the HC Mike McCarthy. There for all to see.

Again, clock management and situational/circumstantial football play a hand in one another depending on the HC’s character.
Mike will usually prefer an aggressive play call offensively as opposed to a conservative one situationally until he is shown the aggression being used against him and sometimes you will see passiveness on clock management.
1 reason with the Chargers was technical malfunction on the clock which led to the FG attempt that thankfully was made. Good thing the kicker was readily prepared.
The last game against the Patriots was a situational decision and the refs were just outright against us and our offense was making a lot of mistakes. A HC is not going to let you exactly into their head in a post game presser but it looked like a situational and circumstantial approach more than the by the book time management decision at that point.
I think MM was more concerned with regrouping and not allowing any more momentum to gain in the Pats favour. Momentum is another aspect of football that is of great game day impact and not measured on the stat sheets.
McCarthy was never your conventional HC. In fact he was the guy who was in the forefront of coaching his team as a pass first offense in which the league was transformed and still is using that approach heavily today.
In saying this he will do things during a game that make you scratch your head but right or wrong it is not because it was done by accident or that he is not capable. McCarthy is and has been an unconventional HC in his approach during games and the calls situationally.
We’re used to completely conventional and predictable in Garrett and now unconventional and not always predictable McCarthy.
It’s not about trusting McCarthy’s ability or decision making because none of it is by mistake, it is by design and the moment. The questions is does the risk/reward work out by the end of the games and so far it has judging by the 5-1 record which is a factual result. The question is will these favourable results continue?
They did in GB for the majority of a decade. I also look at Andy Reid which I’m sure many would want as a HC and he took longer to win one than McCarthy and they are similar type of coaches. Both cut from the same cloth and I believe from the same coaching tree.
It’s not that MM doesn’t know the conventional way of doing things, he’s just unconventional and aggressive offensively. He also prefers his defense to be more turnover centric than overall stout centric. He’s just a very aggressive HC philosophically and then out of nowhere looks passive clock management. End result so far in his career is:
Regular season record of 135-8-2,
1 SB Championship
1 of only 4 coaches in the history of the NFL to lead 1 franchise to 8 straight playoff appearances (Tom Landry, Chuck Noll and Bill Bellichick).
Folks, again. What’s going on is not by mistake and not conventional wisdom. We’re 5-1 so far this year and could easily have been 6-0. This is occurring even with all the injuries we have absorbed early and putting a very young football team out on the field. Our 2nd and 3rd highest players are either not playing due to injury or are playing outright injured on both sides of the ball. Clock management all we want but these are the facts and results. Be baffled or take it for what it is. I’m going to take it and continue enjoying it. I also trust this guys coaching.

Not wild about MM's personality but he didnt hold back the team back in 2011 when Green Bay won the SB. I just think we should be fair.

thats not enough thats why HC is a difficult skill set. there are many balls juggled during a game.
I dont think MM is a great coach but he knows enough. Look at 2011

Offense was getting so many penalties. Biadasz, Williams and Smith all had calls against them before the half and our offense already gave up 2 turnovers. Our field position wasn't going to be all that great. Our field position was terrible the first half where there's was favourable. Everytime we got momentum something happened to stop it. We were not even running the ball well so we had to pass especially in a short window of time and it was a dangerous situation especially the way the game was going.
In the 2nd half the team regrouped on both sides of the ball, won the conversion battle, turnover battle and was getting better field position. We started running better and were able to utilize play action and bootleg which opened areas within the defense. Penalties were still being absorbed but not the same pace and now we were starting to gets some calls also. We got out of this anomaly of a game with a tough deserved win. McCarthy knows how to carve out a winning record and get to the playoffs consistently. Has shown to get to the NFC Championship game more than once and has won the whole thing.
McCarthy and Belichick know each other well throughout the years and McCarthy is 1 of the few coaches who has had his successes against the hoodie.

Good video. That's a coach who has the locker room. Probably been a while since that occurred.

One simple question and an answer here: Does a coach who has his team winning at a highly admirable rate deserve disrespect?
Answer: Absolutely, not . . . the head coaches with McCarthy's record and experience are few and far between. Respect the man!!

Some coach’s delegate and others micro manage every aspect
I believe MM is the former and clock management can easily be given to someone else
The most important part is the players continuing to buy in to McCarthys leadership and game plan

Some of you can say what you want but we have had tons of talent on this team for a long time and the team still couldn't get the wins most felt like they should have. Coaching is huge and McCarthy and the rest of the coaching is a huge reason for the turn around. I for one think as the head coach is creating a much better culture and you can see it in the players. They aren't giving up, they aren't taking their foots off the gas and they believe no matter the score they can win every game.

He makes McCarthy look skinny. And McCarthy is a big dude.
