I got it, I got it. I just thought it was funny the way it was said by Rapoport, sorta like asking the Patriots for permission to interview Josh M.
Giants are expected to interview former Packers’ head coach Mike McCarthy this weekend, per source.

Wouldn't it be shocking if MM doesn't get hired this season?
Super Bowl winning HC.
Wouldn't surprise me at all. Most owners/GMs want the shiny new toy, as in college coach or pro coordinator from teams that have been doing well the last 2-3 years. It would hurt his ego but if MM wants back in the pros it will be as an assistant as a play caller or QB developer.
Guys like Snyder, Jones, the Haslam's is my there are retread opportunities. Rivera was the Skins choislce as soon as CAR cut him loose. McCarthy prolly ends up in CLE with Elliot.
He's a good Head Coach. If you watched the piece with Pelissero, you can see he's working on new offensive concepts by watching what the Packers are doing this year.
If he gets hired it won't be the same tired old scheme he was using for a decade.
Anyone care to search "Mike and a new job in 2 minutes" ?
Would you take a year off and collect 8.5 million?

I'll believe it when I see it after 2018 and the supposed scrubbing of the playbook.
Former Packers’ HC Mike McCarthy is scheduled to interview with the Cleveland Browns today, the New York Giants on Friday.

No.... It became obvious that Mr. Rodgers was carrying that team over the past couple years. How does he explain that in an interview?
Mike McCarthy is scheduled to interview for the Browns' head coach job today. If he's Cleveland's guy, GM candidates to watch include Eliot Wolf, currently Browns assistant GM, and Jon-Eric Sullivan, currently co-director of player personnel for the Packers.

McVince has become the poster child for the new and improved Rooney Rule. Now every team must interview a mentally challenged candidate.

Yikes. Tough crowd. MM is on the right track with updating his playbook, but he really needs to bring in good assistants. I wouldn't count Frank Cignetti, Haslett, etc. as good assistants.

Wow. Happy New Year.
MM doesn't need the $$, I'd stay the hell away from Cleveland. It's where careers go to die. As for the Giants, I just remember MM at times being irked with the Green Bay media and the hard line
questions he'd have to answer.
Now enter the NY media, including outlets like the NY Post who can be just brutal. Listening to MM handle that pack of dogs would be interesting to say the least compared to the tamed kittens he dealt with here.
Video of MM contained an air of desperation to me. Think he'll likely jump at the first coaching opportunity presented to him.
Didn't get that sense at all.....damn real tough crowd in here
The dude won a Super Bowl & has a 67% winning record. My God, it's not like it was me or you as the head coach & we rode Rodgers coattails to that record.
The DAL situation is odd. Maybe Ol' Yellar Teeth is trying to find a HC who will take Garrett as his OC?

I think he'd work well in Cleveland. Haslem is an idiot, but all MM has to do there is make the playoffs once and he's a hero. If he doesn't win a Super Bowl in New York within 3 years they'll be calling for his head.
Cleveland appears to have a lot of talent and a QB with the physical tools to succeed. What they need is a steady head coach who will put in a system and stay consistent. That's MM to a tee. The "let guys get open by beating coverage without scheming them open" approach to offensive play calling might actually work well when you have multiple top WRs (OBJ and Landry).
Who is this QB in Cleveland? The dipshit doing commercials?
GBFanForLife posted:Who is this QB in Cleveland? The dipshit doing commercials?
Yes. That guy.
He played well as a rookie last year (27 TDs, 14 interceptions) and then regressed badly this year (21 interceptions). He played very undisciplined this year, just like the rest of the team. If I was a Browns' fan I'd rather have him than Trubisky, Brisset, Darnold, J. Allen, or a handful of other "franchise" QBs.

Agreed. Theres some weird shit going down in Dallas.

Classy. You must be a Vikings' fan.

Hey, he's supposed to be the new Favre, right? Well, Favre played pretty well his first year (not a rookie, but still) and then regressed his second year. Maybe Baker will have a 1994 type season next year?
If he lasts long enough he will be the new 4, in interceptions that is.
Depends a lot on whether CLE finds him his own Holmgren. Good luck with that.

Jameis Winston says "hold my beer".
Just heard an interview clip with MM from NBC with Peter King. MM said later in his stint with GB, he was divvying up his game plan installation by using multiple assistant coaches to help them get more experience. So, one assistant coach would do the 3rd down installation for the upcoming game. Another would handle the red zone calls and installation. Yet another would create the plan for what to call on first down.
He said in retrospect, that was a bad idea because the installation should have come from him and him only, which is what he did when he came to GB.
All these asst coaches having a hand in what was being called is probably a key reason this offense looked so disjointed at times under MM.
But that went on for his last several years in GB. Did he never make moves to correct that process to I don't know, win more games and save his job? Smells a bit like throwing his assistants under the bus which isn't the kind of thing he would do.
You can't fit all those massages in if you are doing all the work.

LMAO!!!
The offense was stale for quite a while and MM did nothing to change it. I'm not sure he can adapt. I guess we shall see if someone hires him....

I thought that teams would be required to interview a former HC who had won at least one SB. I doubt he get any of the 3 jobs. If they are still looking after the interview we have our answer.
Sources: Former #Packers coach Mike McCarthy is headed to Dallas to speak with the #Cowboys. The team has not announced anything on coach Jason Garrett, though they are expected to move on from him and are laying the groundwork for a search.
