He’s never developed an NFL QB. Tebow, Haskins, etc aren’t doing much these days. He let Burrow walk.
There’s a big difference between winning college games and NFL. Especially when linked to QB development.
Maybe he should’ve hired him as a QB coach then lol......McCarthy’s go to is how he does his footwork with QBs and worked with Gannon in KC, Favre, Rodgers, Montana, Bulger, etc. The TV special talked about his drill that Montana did.
It’s easy to see that the Jones would get caught up in that aspect and think he can turn Dak into Aaron Rodgers which they think fixes all their other problems.
You nailed it on the head. I’d also add desperate to the list as well. Exactly how I feel. The real coach we should’ve hired should’ve been a new fresher name.The reason he was hired:
1- has won a SB
3-well known coach
3- Media loves him
4- he is a Yes man
It’s not talked about enough, but I really think the reason he was hired has nothing to do with his barn workshop or 30 min TV special about analytics.
It was 100% about he has developed Montana, Rodgers and others. The Jones’ wanted someone that would take care of their Dak investment. Basically they hired the most expensive QB coach there is.
Playcalling and team management were secondary on the list of reasons. So when Dak goes down, what’s McCarthys purpose? Develop Nooch?
It went stale in GB because Rodgers was developed to the point he no longer needed McCarthy. McCarthy is not a great HC. He’s a great specialist who needs other good specialists around him like Dom Capers to win big games.
Urrrrrrban Meyer should have been the only interview...
he should still be interviewed...

If UM would coach under Jerry then he cant be much of a man.
I frikken can’t stand OSU but UM may have been a better hire but he’s probably smart enough to know that coaching under Jerry unless you have a Hershel Walker can’t miss trade in the making is no win situationUrrrrrrban Meyer should have been the only interview...
he should still be interviewed...
Great question.You may be right about that. But what I don’t understand is why they didn’t look seriously at anyone else. Other than the Rooney Rule interview they had by phone with Marvin Lewis, they did no other interviews besides McCarthy. I’m just curious why. Most organizations usually interview more candidates. Obviously this isn’t like most organizations.
If this was the case why were we so intent on retaining Moore and Garrett’s offense ?It’s not talked about enough, but I really think the reason he was hired has nothing to do with his barn workshop or 30 min TV special about analytics.

What did he develop in Joe Montana a retirement plan? He only worked with Montana in KC the final years of his career. He passed on Rodgers for Smith in SF. If he had so much influence on Rodgers why was Rodgers the leader in getting him out of GB?It was 100% about he has developed Montana, Rodgers and others.
Just for the record, Big Mac’s career as an NFL coach started in 1993 as an assistant under Marty Schottenheimer at KC. That was when he came in contact with Joe Montana, who by then had already been in the league 12 years. You could certainly say MM helped develop Aaron Rodgers, but not Joe Montana.It’s not talked about enough, but I really think the reason he was hired has nothing to do with his barn workshop or 30 min TV special about analytics.

desperate? he was more than thatYou nailed it on the head. I’d also add desperate to the list as well. Exactly how I feel. The real coach we should’ve hired should’ve been a new fresher name.
I was trying to be polite but the first : a yes manncorrect, but with some changes to the order of importance.
