McCarthy hasn't done anything worth of note in the last 7 years coaching and always loses to super bowl competing teams in that same time span. You're going back 15 years to make him sound worthy. And let's not forget, McCarthy got canned 4 games into his last season with the Packers then Lafleur takes over the same team next year and completely turned it around. Ouch.
This is the same erratic illogical line of thinking people made when they thought Dennis Allen would be a solid choice for head coach.
