Mike McCarthy Fired - Philbin Interim HC

Will he get a job next year?

Sucks to be them.

Hahahahaha go Philbin! Now they're gonna light it up.

Hey...

Maybe Philbin is a better coach than we thought. He certainly won't have an average ass QB as an excuse.

Have fun with that, Packer fans.

One has to wonder how much of Philbin’s failure here had to do with Tannehill not being able to get the job done.

I don't wonder at all. Philbin was a terrible head coach.

Philbin is an awesome person so I wish him all the luck in the world. I personally don't love him as a head coach though.

Or how much of Tannehill not developing enough is a result of Philbin being a crap coach?

Seen that Resnor posted the same thread as this before me. Can an admin merge to his please?

This is great news. Hopefully Miami can pick up a disgruntled Gregg Williams for DC with a promise of a legit chance to be HC next year if Gase doesn't get his crap together!

Easy decision for the Pack as he is at least familiar with the logistics of things like running practices and such, and is knowledgeable with Rogers. I find it hard to see him actually being hired as HC beyond this interim period though, unless Rogers is really pushing for it. They would be an interesting landing spot for a Lincoln Riley type though. That franchise needs some energy, and McCarthy wasn't doing anything.

As for McCarthy ... ew no.

I mean, both things can be true in the statements "Philbin is a bad head coach" and "Ryan Tannehill is not a good quarterback."

Except that I didn’t say Tanny is not a good QB. I said he hasn’t developed enough. Maybe Philbin was less concerned with picking gum wrappers and more concerned with teaching, then maybe Tanny wouldn’t have been hamstrung early in his career, and some of his current issues might have been overcome.

Well people said that McCarthy on the NFL Network should had parted at the end of the season. But I guess team officials see it differently then the media and we do. Good run however.

My sympathies and condolences to any Packers fans. Hopefully it is only an interim appointment with no long term consequences.

I have heard time and time again on this site bang the drum about how a great elite quarterback can overcome a team's weaknesses. Well Rodgers is just that. I give credit where credit is due. Rodgers is a phenomenal quarterback and yet, a 4-7-1 record...and you can't say Rodgers isn't doing what he's supposed to...61.7% comp, 20/1 TD/INT and 3271 yards.

So could this possibly mean that even a GREAT quarterback can't bail your team out?

The prospect of getting Williams as DC is intriguing. We need a DC...a REAL DC in the worst way!!

Shhhh it's the QB and only the QB that can take accountability for losing. Oh, and the Head Coach when it's convenient.

That said, Rodgers is a great example of how an elite QB can still perform with crap around them.

Though no-one here should be debating Tannehill is that.

Any chance he has learned a few things about being a head coach since he left Miami?

I want to see him tell Rodgers he can't call audibles and he has to stay in the pocket.

You have heard that a great QB can overcome a team's weaknesses from idiots and those who don't understand the game. There were plenty who understood better, you being one of them.
