Packers fire McCarthy

[T-REX]

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/...rade-for-sean-mcvay-to-replace-mike-mccarthy/

Everybody wants to figure out just who could take over as Green Bay Packers head coach after more than a decade of Mike McCarthy running the show.

Former NFL quarterback Brady Quinn has an outside-the-box idea: Sean McVay.

Familiar coordinators like Josh McDaniels and Vic Fangio make sense as potential Green Bay targets beyond 2018, CBS Sports' Will Brinson noted on Tuesday's edition of the Pick Six Podcast. But McVay, who's busy guiding the 11-1 Los Angeles Rams toward his second-straight playoff appearance, makes even more sense as a potential McCarthy replacement, according to Quinn, even if he's still under contract on the West Coast.

Alluding to speculation from oddsmakers who've recently included McVay's name in wagers on head coach vacancies around the NFL, Quinn acknowledged that Green Bay would have to trade for the Rams coach since he's still under contract. But that doesn't mean the fit isn't there. (Stream Falcons-Packers and all of Sunday's games on fuboTV, try it for free, and stream the CBS games on CBS All Access.)

"I just think, for starters, if you're the Packers, why not take a chance?" he said. "You shoot for the stars, right? And for the Rams, like, who knows? Maybe he's satisfied, maybe he's not."

McVay, of course, is only in his second season with the Rams, who he took to the playoffs as a rookie head coach in 2017. The 32-year-old Coach of the Year winner would make for perhaps the most promising of any potential head coach hire in Green Bay, however, were he to become available.

McVay is an outlier. Teams can hire all the young offensive coaches they wish, good luck finding another SM.

IMO McCarthy is an excellent offensive mind and one of the GMs in this league is going to get lucky by hiring him. Probably the Browns, yes. But I would not rule out the Jets or maybe even some other teams either.

The fact that Marvin Lewis has a job still is downright ridiculous.

And in other news... Vladimir Putin is rumored to be running for the President of the United States. According to our sources, there is a little known loophole concerning the Natural Born rule that will allow Putin to run. He's not necessarily considered a front-runner but we had to throw some shyte out there to fulfill a post deadline and quota.

One analyst (with emphasis on "anal") put it this way:
"I just think, for starters, if you're the United States, why not take a chance?" he said. "You shoot for the stars, right? And for the Soviet Union, like, who knows? Maybe he's satisfied, maybe he's not."

One other tidbit of information as useful as McVay to Green Bay:

Yup, that makes as much sense.

We now return you back to your normal, off-the-wall, non-sensical drivel.

The fact that Hue Jackson has job it nuts.

 

[LesBaker]

Rodgers has become a coach killer IMO. His ego is out of control.

He's had one coach and now he's a coach killer?

That's incongruous.

The talent on that team isnt that good.

Goes back to my Big Three.

The GM has to be looked at here too.

... maybe the great man has a point ?

Faulk is not great man, he is a great football player. But as a man he is nowhere near great. His rep is that of a jerk, and it's been recounted by lots and lots of people.

He's kinda a turd.

I heard on the radio that Rodgers doesn't study the games much or something like that.

I find that hard to believe.........he's always been a hard worker why would he become a slouch now?

Sounds to me like talking head speculation.

Former NFL quarterback Brady Quinn has an outside-the-box idea: Sean McVay.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

He's under contract Quinn you moron.

McVay is an outlier. Teams can hire all the young offensive coaches they wish, good luck finding another SM.

The outlier is Goff.

Not McVay.

Without Goff the offense doesn't work correctly.

Neither McVay or Gurley can get the ball to the pass catchers accurately and in a position to advance it.

They contribute, yes for sure. But put 25, 26, 27 or 28 of the other 31 QB's on the Rams and they are not 11-1. They would be good, but they would NOT be the team in the NFL with the best record.

He's not necessarily considered a front-runner but we had to throw some shyte out there to fulfill a post deadline and quota.

He already won it once though. We already know that.

The Packers Fired Mike McCarthy Because Every NFL Team Wants Its Own Sean McVay
By Robert Mays

As the gap between the league’s best teams and their middle-class counterparts widens, teams’ windows to be patient are shortening. The work of Sean McVay with the Rams this season has created a new standard and a new timeline for head coaches, and that combination could lead to levels of offseason turnover that would have seemed unfathomable even a few months ago.

Given the level of success the Rams have found this season, more and more teams will inevitably begin searching for their own version of McVay—a pursuit that the Packers now begin in earnest.

There are reasons to be skeptical about how replicable the McVay blueprint is. Critics are likely to suggest that coaches like McVay don’t just materialize; finding a coach of that caliber is more complicated than plucking a 30-something play-caller off the staff of a trendy offense and expecting him to be the league’s next great coach.

The Titans tried to find some of the McVay magic this offseason by hiring former Rams offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur in the hopes that he could revive Marcus Mariota’s career. Tennessee currently ranks 28th in points per game.

There just aren’t dozens of brilliant offensive minds hanging around the NFL, waiting for their shot to be head coaches. And if a rash of firings does happen this offseason, with previously unforeseen jobs like the Panthers gig coming open, there likely won’t be enough quality candidates to go around.

Then again, this formula has been successful for teams other than the Rams. Bears head coach Matt Nagy has worked wonders with second-year quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and a rebuilt a group of talented pass catchers in Chicago.

And Frank Reich, in his first season as Indy’s head coach, has turned the Colts into an unlikely wild-card contender by orchestrating one of the league’s most well-designed offenses. It’s worth remembering that he was the Colts’ consolation prize last offseason after the team was infamously spurned by Josh McDaniels.

It’s inevitable that the success McVay, Reich, and Nagy have had will lead to some truly awful hires in the years to come. Rams quarterbacks coach Zac Taylor’s name already has been floated as a possible candidate for the Packers job and other potential openings; while Taylor may wind up being a brilliant hire, somewhere down the road a 30-something position coach who happened to work under someone like McVay is going to become a walking example of the Peter principle.

But even if that type of disaster is all but certain for some team in the near future, it shouldn’t be enough to prevent owners and decision-makers from chasing a coach who could transform their franchise.

The NFL’s pool of coaching candidates may not be deep enough for each franchise to find its own offensive mastermind, but there’s a reason Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley has become the hottest name in the league’s coaching carousel. It’s no accident that the Rams and other front offices reached out to Kliff Kingsbury almost immediately after he was fired by Texas Tech.

Teams have started to understand what it takes to build a winner in the modern NFL, and for the franchises that don’t already have the ingredients, coaching changes are on the horizon. Firings like the one in Green Bay and rumblings like those in Carolina may be the first surprises of this season, but they certainly won’t be the last.

What they fail to mention in this article is that the Rams have like 15 1st round draft picks in their line-up with the most important one being the #1 pick in the draft at QB. Don’t get me wrong McVay is a tremendous HC but you also need some talent and based on how many 1st round picks are on this roster we have plenty of it.

 

[Rams43]

Two things occur to me.

1. The NFL demands that it’s HC’s get results. An HC that can’t produce winners is always on a short leash. Doesn’t matter what coach or which team, sooner or later there’s gonna be a parting of the ways. For whatever reason(s), McCarthy wasn’t getting the desired results. Sooooo...

2. I am in agreement with those criticizing Rodgers. I don’t get the near worship of the man. Something is “off” there. Up to possibly the tail has been wagging the dog as Rodgers was undermining his HC. If I were an up and coming HC candidate, the Packers would be near the bottom of my interview list.

They've just fired their assistant HC Winston Moss.

Just found out that former Rams OC Frank Cignetti is their QB coach.

Just found out that former Rams OC Frank Cignetti is their QB coach.

Cignetti: "Aaron, here's the play I drew up for 3rd and 10"
Rodgers: "WTF do you know? You were the OC for the freaking Rams when they were dead last in offensive production! I call the plays around here. You just sit down and look pretty!"
(Cignetti slithers away, head drooped)
