Well McCarthy's team did knock the Cowboys two best teams of the past decade out of the playoffs in 2014 and 2016 so .. uh yeah.. a lot of it IS his fault! At least the last 4 years plus 2014 and 2016. So he is to blame for 6 of the years of failure!
Yeah I have never been a change just to be changing kind of guy. If you can improve then improve.. and it's going to be pretty damn had to improve on three straight 12 win seasons and a couple of division titles.. Not saying it can't be done.. but there is not going to be a ton of guys out there who will be a step up from McCarthy.
He had Aaron Rodgers who knocked the Cowboys off those two years. Had he had a lesser QB, the Cowboys would’ve likely won both games. They went down to the wire and Rodgers pulled the rug right out from under us in the final minutes of both games. Most of what’s going on is the Joneses fault. We’re seeing the same problems under McCarthy that we saw under the previous head coaches. Our last six head coaches haven’t won a divisional round game and have a grand total of only four playoff wins. Every time we change head coaches it’s the same results in the playoffs. Penalties and the defense has been a problem under every head coach we’ve had the past 20+ years.
Matt Flynn wasn’t awful that day. When you looked at the stat line, you would’ve thought Rodgers was the QB. Flynn had almost 300 yards and 4 TD passes. To this day we still make average QBs look like Hall of Famers. Joshua Dobbs had a 120.0 passer rating against us last season. I’ve lost track of the average QBs that had career days against us. Flynn, Colt McCoy, Mitch Trubisky, Josh McCown, and Sam Darnold all lit us up. Nothing changes regardless the head coach we have. Even when we had Parcells, our defense sucked in the playoffs.
Grossly underrated by the fans.
Wellllllll, 2nd to Jerry taking over as GM!!!!
Absolutely. Why? Because Jerry does not possess the NFL brainpower to change anything and rebuild back bigger and better. He's NFL dumb.
It was a result of him going up against a defense that routinely falters against average QBs. The Packers didn’t even have a good team that year they were 8-7-1. Flynn was 2-3.
4 years out of 28. Got it.
He hasn't just failed, he has epically failed.
Yep, indelibly linked. Then again, Mike did try and incorporate this TCO to overcome what he must of seen as a weakness in the offense/Dak's implementation of the offense. But again those pesky 9'ers created the near perfect counter punch, reverting to a press secondary and yet again Dak's composure went as he had to get out of the arm chair.
