Lies Will Catch Up With You

Jonesboys fans were not enamored with the choice of the big Blue M&M as head coach. I said he should have been fired on the spot for lying about his resume (watched and analyzed every play in the NFL the year prior).

Well here is why I knew this could go the wrong direction being originally from NOLA and hearing Saints fans cry like Jonesboys fans over the then big Gold and black M&M:

Below is how well the Saints did offensively under Mike McCarthy's direction:

2000	10th overall
2001	10th overall
2002	19th overall
2003	11th overall
2004	15th overall

While one could argue that McCarthy was held back in his design by having Aaron Brooks at quarterback, don't forget that those teams also featured Ricky Williams, Deuce McAllister in his prime, arguably the greatest offensive tackle in NFL history in William Roaf, and Joe Horn. McCarthy then went on to be the offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers in 2005 and he directed their offense to 32nd in the NFL overall. That's right, dead last. While he had a good track record with the Packers and a lot of existing relationships that helped immensely in landing the head coaching job following that abysmal 2005 campaign with the 49ers, he didn't exactly have the pristine resume that most first time head coaches boast. Throwing out that horrendous year with the 49ers that could have labeled him as awful, his tenure with the Saints proved that he was a slightly above average offensive game caller at best.

Fast forward to his coaching days with the Packers. Those offenses have been, since he joined, 9th, 2nd, 8th, 6th and 9th. Impressive to say the least. His worst offensive production in 5 years in Green Bay in better than his best in 5 years with the Saints. Granted, he's had the luxury of elite quarterbacks in Brett Fave and Aaron Rodgers which would make any coach look good, but few can argue his days of mediocrity with the Saints aren't far behind him.

Basically McCarthy got by on having a franchise QB which he does not (Farve and Rodgers), an extremely athletic QB which he does not (Aaron Brooks - Mike Vicks cousin), and connections from the Shot tree which fruit is worm infested.

I have the real inside why Aaron Brooks went from Playoff QB to the out house.
