Mike McCarthy will never win on style points. His heavy “Pittsburghese” dialect, the butt of humorous takes in Aaron Rodgers press conferences, as well as his overall lack of what most folks would call charisma, means McCarthy isn’t a personality many folks are drawn to.
But style points be damned. In the NFL, you either produce results or you pack your bags. To that end McCarthy has been, to quote the 53-year-old’s own words from last season, “a highly successful NFL coach.”
There are fans and pundits who not only take umbrage with that characterization, but also think that the literal opposite is true.
