GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It doesn’t matter how long a coach has been on the job, one of the toughest things has to be to admit when a plan didn't quite work out as it was intended.
But it’s the willingness to do so -- and not make the same mistake twice -- that has helped make Mike McCarthy one of the longest-tenured, most successful head coaches in the NFL.
The Green Bay Packers coach always talks about three core values: adapt, emphasize and change.
Those guidelines have served him well. He has led his team to the playoffs seven straight seasons and sports a 104-55-1 record, has shown he’s not afraid to try new things and then adapt if they don’t go as planned.
