Why do you say that? They know each other from way back, has head coach experience, been in the league for a while. Seems a lot like the 09 Capers hire.

He's been a HC since 2003. You have to go back to 1995 the last time he wasn't a DC or a HC. The man is burned out. You don't "announce" you're leaving unless you're ready to take time off. If he was planning on wanting to coach next year, it wouldn't be announced until the end of the year that he was leaving. He's done with coaching for a while.

Your probably right then The timing of the whole thing is weird if he was trying to coach next year. If he wanted to coach next year, he'd presumably want to continue as the Bengals' HC as opposed to a DC somewhere else. Since he "announced" it earlier, he basically gave his assistants AND the organization a heads up so they can plan accordingly. I'd be very, very shocked if he was coaching next year. In fact, I'd expect him in the broadcast booth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Conspiracy theory: McCarthy's comments on "patterns of negativity" revolved around the defense being negative about Dom Capers and his play calling with overcomplicated schemes and checks and just stupid defense overall. McCarthy addresses it by allowing the defense to just play. Just line up, man up, do your job play. Defense thrives under those scenarios. I don't care if it was below 0, there's no reason the Vikings should have scored only 16 points when the Packers were without 3/4 preferred corners, both starting pass rushers and more.

duxrule Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Really just like to see Jim L stay at Wisconsin for a couple years because I like Bucky. He's already running Pro-style defenses with them tho, so would be an easy transition, I THINK. I've heard friends calling for Kevin Greene to take over in GB too. I know Clay loved him, but he was more of a mentor than a coach, was he not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conspiracy theorist in me likes to think that he was fed up with Ernest's BS, and so was forced to leave. I'm the only one hoping for a Clay Matthews resurgence and the biggest reason I think it can possibly happen is Greene's second half career. I'm definitely on the Kevin Greene train 100% because I guaran-damn-tee he's not sitting in the press box on Sundays no matter how cold it gets.

Seems unlikely. McCarthy doesn't really have any experience coaching defense, and when they hired Dom as their DC several years ago Mike said they were like a co-DC. Seems like the Vikings were playing rather vanilla last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocHambone Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Not coordinator related, but 'the sky is falling' mentality is funny. A healthy Green Bay team is a very good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense is not good, and it won't be with Capers coordinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably could/will be even better with a revamped defense. It seems like eons ago, but they were 4-1 prior to Rodgers injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
