Mike McCarthy Opinion Poll

[PackerfaninCarolina]

This doesn't look anything like a team that's given up to me.

Well, certainly Rodgers is doing all he can to try and keep his guys locked in, but this team has fallen way off the levvy and they really look like they're going tonedeaf to MM's message. I don't know, I don't have answers anymore than the next guy. And I don't think MM is the whole problem, but he certainly is part of it, and lately he seems to be pushing this stubborn envelope more than ever. As others are saying, I just don't see this team all the sudden clicking into a winning team going forward. Our only hope now is to hope that both Minny and Detroit implode badly enough to get to the playoffs because short of that, I'm pretty sure it's not happening.

Yes the players have given up. I as all love our Packers but i can admit it now that we will not recover this year. They will wait till end of season before cleaning house. Packers only have 2 home games left and i expect fans to show there displeasure and i see us finishing at 5-11.

maybe we'll get a good draft pick.

leonard fournette, anyone?

I'd rather have Curtis Samuel, at least then if MM wants to line him up as a RB he can do that and spare Cobb and Montgomery the trouble.

I don't think the fact AR coming off as arrogant, smug and pretentious is helping the team either. He just doesn't strike me as a likeable person or leader for that matter.

Just coming from someone on the outside looking in ... Could be way off.

Well, we've personally held his feet to the fire this year as well, especially after our loss to Dallas. But it's the way that this team has lost its mojo all around that's had more fingers pointing in MM's direction as of late.

As the word is going out, I'm thinking Dom Capers will be the first to get booted out of here, but as the chips follow Mike McCarthy and even Ted Thompson are likely to be not far behind, with their ropes not being a whole lot longer.

3 home games. Seattle, Houston, Minnesota.

The team's reaction when he got popped in the end zone disproves that theory, IMO.

This is now officially a lost year...Offensive line is decimated...the basis of this offense has always been the run game and the Pack doesn't have one..receivers dropping balls left and right..zero TE's..Aaron doing what he can but frustration is setting in big time..showing in his play and attitude..but at least he cares..no pass rush..Matthews never plays and Peppers I would think in his final year..young ILB..possibly the worst corners in the league..Making huge mistakes still on defense in the 10th week of the season...unathletic and slow team from top to bottom..terrible management of the team and personnel from the GM to the coaches..yup..I guess the Pack do suck

 

[rodell330]

MM is going to let his loyalty to guys in his staff get him fired as well. Frankly I can't stand the guy but they won't fire him. So I'm hoping he keeps CApers on so they can All get fired together.

 

[melvin dangerr]

The thread should be has MM givin up on his players I'm pretty sure decision making and play calling has worn on a lot of his players....

 

[Un4GivN]

leonard fournette, anyone?

Give me jabrill peppers

3 home games. Seattle, Houston, Detroit.

Nope, your coming here . all 3 division games left for lions is at home.

Unless it was a joke and lions at Ford field is considered a home game lol

I meant Minnesota. My bad. Still 3 home games.

It is obvious his frustration is as visible as Rodgers's is. I think that's part of what's got him under the microscope at the moment. I like to think there's always going to be points at which a head coach is going to let his players know they screwed up when they have, and even get heated about it. But ... there comes a point when you just get a sense that a coach has lost it and is venting out of personal frustration and can't hold it together himself. I'm starting to think MM is veering towards that latter point.

Its time to drain the swamp that is in 1265 Lombardi Ave.

 

[Michael Schmidt]

Maybe need to just get rid of the crud.

 

[gonzozab]

Although MM needs to go, I don't want to imply he's a bad coach because he's not. He's had a successful career in Green Bay. He deserves to be a head coach somewhere else. But 11 years is an eternity to be with one team and it's clear his tenure here has run its course.

 

[PackAttack12]

I feel like I am listening to John Madden talk whenever McCarthy gives a post game presser after a loss.

Gives the most "duh" common sense answers possible.

 

[Mondio]

They have a lot of stuff going wrong, but no, I do not think the players have given up on McCarthy or anyone else.

Yeah, I do believe at this point he's tied for 3rd in terms of the longest head coaches still with a team along with Sean Payton in New Orleans and Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh, with only Marvin Lewis and Bill Belichick having longer tenures. I tend to like the idea of keeping coaches for longer periods as usually teams that do so are far more successful in the long term as opposed to teams that don't. But Andy Reid who coached in Philly for 14 years had to go eventually, it's looking like Sean Payton is probably on his way out of New Orleans not too long from now if he doesn't get his team back in the playoffs soon. All that to say, yeah I'm starting to think every coach except Bill Belichick has a shelf life that just comes to an end at some point, and MM seems to be nearing his.

Easy to get rid of the coach, but some of the players need to go also. Players spending a lot of time with TV ad's.

They have lives,..it's not affecting their performance on the field..do you have any other interests other than your job?

 

[Darryl Tincknell]

What's hard is watching this Dallas-Pittsburgh game and realizing not more than 3 years ago we could beat these type of teams
