Those who lampoon Mike McCarthy would be hard pressed to duplicate his success in the National Football League.
For all the consternation McCarthy faced during his time at the helm of the Green Bay Packers, the man won 135 games. Ten of those wins came in the postseason.
He made the decisions in Green Bay, hallowed NFL ground, for 13 seasons, overseeing some strong offenses. Super Bowl XLV ended with McCarthy hoisting the trophy his Green Bay predecessor Vince Lombardi helped christen.
McCarthy was indeed let go for a reason. His Packers pretty much hit a wall after a humiliating home defeat at the hands of the pathetic Arizona Cardinals.
