I have always backed McCarthy. This guy stays steady and true to the course through the rough patches. That's not what a lot of people want. As soon as things go bad many want CHANGE.

McCarthy is smart enough to know that once the season starts it's really to late for drastic change and adustments in what they do. You install all that before the season starts when there is the time available to initiate the dynamics of your philosophy.

I remember his first year and things didn't start out to great and it culminated with a blowout loss to I think NE or Indy. Many were saying the D coordinator had to go and this had to change and that had to be done. McCarthy came out and said the players just had to start doing their job better. Low and behold they did that and from there the team went on to play much better and it carried over into '07.

I know many hate his pessers especially when things aren't going well and they want to hear some radical words from him on what he's going to do DIFFERENTLY to get things turned around. Then he comes out and says "look, we need to clean that area up and do the little things better" and people go biserk.

Everytime a thread comes up calling for his head I have defended him and said it won't happen and if it did he would be somewhere else by the time you had the next mornings coffee.

We have a good football coach and if some people don't like what they hear because he absolutely refuses to panic all I can say it's because of that in large part that we are in the playoffs and possibly set to make a run.

Things I didn't like about McCarthy, and still don't like:

1. His public nonspeak. I hate empty language. But, as long as he's winning, I'll live with it. (Actually, my attitude toward him markedly improved as soon as I refused to listen to any of his press conferences.)

2. His "finesse" and "trick the other guy" tendencies. This team is either good enough not to need to do that or I'm right in my kick-a-dead-horse OL worries and all the finesse wont help them. And, in fact, the evidence suggests the former: I don't think it's an accident that we saw a fair amount less of the "let's show how we can outthink the other guy" during that 7-1 run.
I'm going to continue to worry about this from time to time. But it's hard not to be a believer these days.

3. Zone blocking scheme. I still dislike this, even though it seems to be working better now. I just think there's something wrong with using a system that is dangerous enough that you can't do in practice against your own defense but that you're willing to use against others'.

4. Third quarters. I don't get why this team doesn't perform in the third quarter. And I have to put part of the responsibilty for that on the head coach.

5. Penalties. This has improved, but still far away from where it needs to be for a serious playoff team. I dread what might happen if we end up with Coleman, Hochuli, or, heaven forbid, Triplette ref crews in a playoff game.

I never called for his firing mid-season, but I was a lot ornerier and bitchier than I am not. But he's not yet back to the "In McCarthy I trust" level he was at for me in 2007.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
