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?

I think it’s safe to assume nobody knows the answer to that yet. I haven’t exactly been thrilled with the coaching stylings of Jim Haslett.

We only have a few more days until this thing really takes off.  Only members of 12 staffs will be off limits during the playoffs until eliminated, but besides that, the search will begin in earnest.  Our season as well as members of 25 other staffs will be over.  I'm interested to see some new HC candidate names pop up next week.  We've discussed Mike McCarthy ad nauseam already.

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

11.

How'd I do?

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.

"instant winner"....doesn't appear anywhere in my post.

I think it's reasonable to assume everyone who is showing up to work with McCarthy on a daily basis is expecting to go with him when he gets hired.

I could not believe it when Pegula hired Loud Mouth Rex.  Just an awful hire.

A mixed bag of previous big-name HCs like Ryan and Fisher, some tenured coordinators and a relative 'new' guy like Chud.   To me that shows that you can't say that any route is safer than another...retread HC, established coordinator or the faddish new guy.

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.

Add in Don Shula, Dan Reeves and....John Fox!

Ahh.  People were talking about "plug in coaching staff" so I wasn't sure if McCarthy had said anything in that interview that was floating around earlier. I am not too excited for this group of coaches.

I guess Fewell has decided to interview for the Panthers HC position.. so now we have 

1) Mike McCarthy

2) Perry Fewell

Valid.

To be fair though how many of those coaches other than Fisher had much success winning at all let alone making it to and winning a Super Bowl?
