Who would have ever guessed? Haven't seen a single anti-LaFleur post since the goal line of the Eagles game. Again more living in your own reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have ever guessed? I think people struggle with separating McCarthy the coach and McCarthy the person. He wasn’t able to adapt and ride up to the challenges as a coach; that doesn’t make him any less of a person character wise. Good guy but I completely understand what happened and still think he could have success elsewhere, it just wasn’t going to happen in Green Bay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering the character of his interactions with the locals given the teams success so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the people treat him decently, as he was a good steward of the Packers for many years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a presence in the community. And I'd say, a positive presence. I did see Murphy the other day at the Honor Flight. He's shorter than I would have thought. My uncle got to talk to him a little bit. Thanked him for the Honor Flight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too care about performance and stats often times are inflated and meaningless. So far this year his performance has led to a 6-1 record and wouldn't doubt it one bit if they are 9-1 or 8-2 at the bye week. Not sure what you are unhappy about with his performance. I’m not unhappy with his performance. I’m saying he’s overpaid at the moment. Nature of the beast when you are paid the most—highest expectations.

Good guy but I completely understand what happened and still think he could have success elsewhere, it just wasn’t going to happen in Green Bay This to a big degree. He had to go, yeah it was overdue and I stuck with him as a fan too long. What pissed me off is people acting like he was a bumbling fool who couldn't coach a d3 team. I lot of **** was going on there from all sorts of angles that broke that thing down. He takes the lion's share but he's not also an incompetent moron. Despite the fact the trolls point out he didn't get hired, even though he turned down all interviews afaik. My anti MLF **** came from preference in what I want in an NFL offense. He's proving me an idiot, and I'm all in. I'll dig in pretty hard but when I'm wrong, I'll say it. But then you got clowns acting like this is Mac love. Not sure the last time I even thought about that dude until this discussion... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 The people who **** talk Mac still are sack less ******* who would never say anything IRL unless they're 12 beers deep, if I had to guess. I'm sure it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm larger than Mark Murphy, but I was next to him and that dude looks like he's made from iron. That's a tough SOB and you can see it a ways away from him. If I'm 12 beers in next to him, it's "Yes, sir." "No, sir". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was brutal to watch make so many mistakes during games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the last few years sucked but there's no way he's among your worst GB coaches of your life if you're being honest with yourself.
