Big Ben wants an offensive minded HC: Says McCarthy is his top choice

Not my top choice, but I’d take him over Floral.

Nope! Don't want another retread. That's why I'm out on Flores as well.

 

That's not the standard though. The standard is to win.

 

Who is Floral

 

Sigh. Can you stop posting what Ben wants please?

 

A guy that can put together one hell of a flower arrangement.

 

there is talk of rodgers going to the vikings and theilen even coming out of retirement if he does. i see hire mccarthy and we don't get rodgers back. sounds like a plan.

 

Ben talking , just to talk

 

God I really hope they don't hire McCarthy.
The guy had 2 HOF QB's and won exactly 1 SB. He also had a very potent offence in Dallas and did nothing with it.
It's not like there was a dynasty standing in his way either. Yeah the Pats were banging out SB wins, but McCarthy couldn't even get his team there other than once.

It sounds like he has a good offensive mind, but is it bad luck that he couldn't get over the hump, or is there something missing in some coaches (and probably players) that come playoff time, they just can't execute when things get tougher? I don't know the answer to that question, but what I do know is Packers fans and Cowboys fans hated him with a passion. Packers fans typically blame him for all their playoff failures.

It just seems like he's the offensive version of Mike Tomlin. A guy who is praised by many but has a ton of playoff failures.

 

Ben is bored

 

And irrelevant

 

Pipe down Ben, we don't need end of career coaching.

 

I'm probably in the minority here, but.....McCarthy as an OC would be good.

 

An old ass retired vet wants an old ass retread coach.

 

There are two issues with McCarthy:

1. He really doesn't like to work all that much any longer. You can read about the end of his time in GB and portions of his time in Dallas. He doesn't want to put the maniacal. amount of time in that these jobs require. That is fine. I wouldn't either. But I am also not trying to do the job.
2. He has not updated his offense in like 15 years. Kind of like Arthur Smith. It doesn't surprise any one any longer. If you have good players that can execute it well...it can work....but it won't help cover up deficiencies as you build out your roster.

 

Yes. And the Steelers could use Aaron Rodgers for another year while the new head coach fixes the defense and management drafts some stud receivers. Steeler aren’t gonna likely win the Super Bowl next year with or without Rodgers but the team would stay competitive and McCarthy and Rodgers already know their playbook like the back of their hands.

 

Are you not one of the strongest voices for change because Tomlin's recent tenure was a failure? If that is not your position....I honestly apologize.

But if it is...then you have literally just outlined the exact same plan with different names on the office doors. Help me understand that.
