First of all McCarthy may not be Andy Reid, but his in-game management when it comes to managing the clock, challenges, timeouts etc.. is generally regarded as poor. But being fair it's shocking how bad most coaches are at this aspect of the game, and with how much teams spend it's surprising they don't have a dedicated person towards this. And that season without Rodgers was seven full games and almost all of another, and they went 2-5-1 in those games, and if not for the Matt Flynn miracle in Dallas it would have been one win.

To me McCarthy is an average coach, maybe slightly better but not much. Rodgers, Peyton Manning, these are rare guys that literally can single handily win a team a ton of games, regardless of coach. What happened the first season Peyton missed in Indy? They got Andrew Luck because they were 2-14 and barely missed 0-16 with an 0-13 start. If the Packers played an entire year without Rodgers I doubt they win more than four games.

My point all along about McCarthy is he's gotten stale, a fresh voice, ideally one more focused on defense, could not do any worse at all, assuming Rodgers stays healthy. What's the harm in trying something new, unless you're the Bengals? And remember, with Rodgers the Packers can choose whoever they want, because you have what any coach wants, the best QB in the league. I honestly thought he should have been done after the Seattle debacle, that was poor coaching costing them possibly the Super Bowl.
