Let's not forget something here, since George Seifert and Jimmy Johnson retired, there has only been one NFC coach (Tom Coughlin) that has 2 rings. Every other NFC coach that has won a SB within that time frame (since the 1994 49ers won their superbowl under Seifert), has only 1 and only two coaches (Mike Holmgren and Pete Caroll) have had back-to-back Superbowl trips. I just feel that MM has as good, if not a better chance than a lot of other current coaches to get another ring and tie Couglin for that.
I think it's well to heed the point that the Packers hold the current longest streak in the NFC for making the playoffs at 7 years in a row, in fact that's tied for first in the whole league with New England. This is all under McCarthy. You want to make it to the Superbowl, you gotta be put in position to get there, and that's what he has done every year so far. Have our playoff games had disappointments in them? Certainly, but I'd again ask you to think about which other coach currently doing this has not had bad slipups in the playoffs after winning a superbowl, or even more so largely failed to make the playoffs again after looking good on a run, and I guarantee you John Gruden, Sean Payton, Mike Martz, Jim Fassell, and Ken Whizenhunt all fit that profile. Even the aforementioned Coughlin who does have 2 superbowl rings has the bad trade-off of failing to make the playoffs 6 of the last 7 years and had some embarrassing playoff losses to his name as well, so let's not pretend coaches that do what McCarthy does come along every day.
Having said that, no coach for the record (besides Bellichik maybe) is immune from a firing if things start going full bottom up. If things get worse in titletown next season such as not making the playoffs and the rift between Rodgers and MM becomes glaring, there might be a case to start warming the seat up. But simply wanting him out because the team makes the playoffs and doesn't go to the superbowl is just lunacy. Why do I think we can get there next year or year after? I feel like with Nelson and Montgomery coming back plus a competition between Janis and Adams, Lacy being in better shape, and a defense whose corners in Randall and Rollins are getting better to add to what I think will be a good pass rush next season, I think our chances are going up big time. If we did change out the HC, would it work out for the better to get to the superbowl? Maybe, but I just don't think that's the answer right now to get us there.
