Mike McCarthy sounds like he is auditioning for a Tepper interview

[LinvilleGorge]

McCarthy would be an extremely uninspiring hire.

But, taking Tepper at his word that he fired Rivera mid-season so he could go ahead and start contacting prospective coaches, that basically means A) currently unemployed coaches or B) college coaches. So, McCarthy fits.

What do your know about any of these guys and their offensive innovation? McCarthy has never struck me as all that innovative. I've had enough slow-mo football where it almost seems like the coach is afraid to press the gas and leave tread marks on the opposition. All that playing down to the competition and essentially rubber banding yourself to them until your pull away at the last moment is for the birds. 

McCarthy ran a pretty standard WCO, from what I recall.

He has a Panther connection via Jake Delhomme. He was Jake's quarterback coach in New Orleans before moving on to Green Bay.

I sure hope y'all enjoyed Mike Shula, because if we hire McCarthy prepare to be underwhelmed except in the opposite way. Instead of Run Run Pass Punt it'll be Pass Pass Pass Punt with absolutely no ability to adjust.

Ask any Green Bay fan what they think. No thanks.

I'm all for a offensive minded HC.  We've been defense,defense, defense for 25-years now.  Even if the defense doesn't get any better, we actually could win games giving up 40 points!

McCarthy wouldn’t be my first choice but I wouldn’t be upset. Rather have him then McDaniels

[Ivan The Awesome]

Wouldn't be opposed to seeing him being hired as an oc. Other than that. No thanks.

I know he has a football pedigree from his dad, but I don't remember his dad having a whole lot of good years at WVU when given the opportunity.   Maybe Jr. is different and obviously not auditioning for head coach.  When I remember WVU coaches that have done well one name stands out  - Bobby Bowden.

   I know him and like him but would not hire him, or any of them for a nfl team.

Name a Super Bowl winning head coach who won another as the head coach of a different team.

I also knew a couple folks who knew Cignetti.  From what I heard he wasn't a bad guy.  just not a good nor great coach.  Same way I feel about Rivera - seems like a outstanding dude to me in all respects and I respect the guy by all accounts I have heard of him- just not who you want running your coaching squad from the results I have seen.

He found his calling at IUP. You can be nice in Div 2.

Wonder how that translates into the NFL ?

I dunno, sounds good, but most BS does.  My curiosity is palpable, tho.
