It shouldn’t be.  It’s meaningless.  How many SB Winning Coaches move on to a 2nd team?  It’s not like there’s a lot of them 

The sample size is simply far too small to think of it as anything more than a meaningless fact.  

There’s actually quite a bit. Just off the top of my head. John Gruden, Mike Shanahan, Mike Holmgren, George Seifert, Gary Kubiak, Dick Vermeil, Mike Ditka, Bill Parcels, Jimmy Johnson. A lot of those are BIG name coaches. HOF coaches.

Along with some guy named Lombardi.

The entire-staff > plug & play > ready-to-roll concept has to be appealing to Tepper.

McCarthy's odds of being hired are better than anyone else.

Just how many guys do you think McCarthy has working with him on his coaching project?

I think I saw Jim Haslett is part of his project.

Haslett, Frank Cignetti Jr and a less familiar guy named Scott McCurley (special teams guy if I remember right).

Is that an impressive list?

[Waldo]

That sounds like a nightmare. A pack of coaches no one wants waiting to tank a team with their expertiese. Sounds like they really learned from the reasons why they are unemployed...

The names I’ve seen working with McCarthy, along with McCarthy himself, doesn’t strike me as an instant plug-and-play winner. But it’s not my team, and it’s not my money.

Not overly so.

Haslett was once a good DC but that was a while ago.

And 6 coaches have been to superbowls with two different teams...

John Fox got TWO HC jobs after leaving Carolina. Don’t underestimate the value of salesmanship. Owners can be sold.

I'm apprehensive as others are but there is a consideration to be made about just why we are so sketchy on the possibility of hiring a coach like McCarthy. We heard for years from Ron about how he's evolving yet each time it never really happened. If Rivera had stopped being so stubborn years ago and changed maybe he would still be here. Maybe we already would have had a SB trophy here in the Carolinas.

With whichever coach we ultimately end up hiring I'm more concerned about how he will be approaching filling out his staff. We don't need another buddy style coaching staff. We need coaches who are interested in establishing a winning culture. Not coaches just looking to ride another guys coattails for a check. If that's what Mike McCarthy is bringing then I'm not interested.

Are we sure McCarthy is planning to bring those guys, versus just working with them on a coaches version of an off season training program?
