McCarthy has his moments of great coaching, but he also has many horrible moments. Overall, that leads to an average coach. I really don't think he would be a very good coach if he didn't have an ELITE QB, and quite possibly the best in the league. Obviously an elite QB makes every coach look better, but I don't think McCarthy would last long with anything other than an elite QB. I think his coaching flaws would more quickly be exposed, and he would be canned. Sometimes I think his coaching struggles even with an elite QB. If he just had a "good" QB, he wouldn't last long. I just don't think he would game plan well enough consistently.
Plus, he's so damn loyal. It's a good thing to some point, but eventually the hammer has to drop. How many all world horrible defensive performances must occur until a statement is made? How many years of average at best, and often horrible, offensive line play until a change is made? I like the patience to an extent, but I feel as if things have become too comfortable in Green Bay, in some cases. The entire staff should know that mediocrity will NOT be tolerated. If one wants to keep their job, produce. If not, it's time to give someone else a shot. I know I wouldn't stick around at my job long if I consistently sucked year after year, and made multiple epic mistakes.
