Coaches like Mike McCarthy don’t become available very often. When you pile up 125 regular season wins, eight consecutive postseason appearances, ten playoff wins, and a Lombardi Trophy, you’re usually guaranteed lifetime job security.
But McCarthy found himself unemployed sooner than most thought. After spending 2019 away from the sidelines while growing as a coach, McCarthy landed with America’s Team. It’s not often that someone like McCarthy ends up coaching for a new team, so people naturally began to compare him to the most recent high-profile coach to get fired and find a new team: Andy Reid.
