Given we have a HOF QB and some talent at the skill positions, I really think the Packers HC job currently has to be one of the more attractive opportunities in pro sports. The right guy would be set up pretty well for success early
If you are Bill Cowher, and you know you want to return to coaching in the right situation, how could you turn this opportunity down?
Cowher had 15 seasons, made playoffs ten times, lost in the AFC championship four times, made two Super Bowl appearances and had one Super Bowl win. Not that dissimilar to McCarthy and his playoff appearance record, and he has been out of coaching 10 years. Not seeing it.
Not that this is an endorsement of MM. Since the loss to Seattle in the 2014 championship game, the offense has been mediocre to awful, he and the QB don't appear to be on the same page (or, at least, AR doesn't respect him, as indicated by comments AR has made) and his changes haven't worked. I don't think he would be fired after one year of missing the playoffs, so he has 24 games to "get it fixed."
However, I remember the Bart Starr coaching days, Forrest Gregg, Lindy Infante, Ray Rhodes, and yes, Mike Sherman. Ask Philly how dumping Andy Reid worked out for them. Sometimes better the devil you know as the head guy, with some house cleaning underneath, then the promise of something new and different.
