I think Nerdman gave the perfect reason to take Homgren over McCarthy. Holmgren came to a team that was used to losing and he changed the feeling of the team. He would make adjustments to help put his team into a position to win. Mike McCarthy on the other hand isn't very good at making adjustments and he is to bullheaded to change. He also took over a team that was used to winning and he also had 2 hall of fame quarterbacks covering up his flaws. Holmgren had the very raw Brett Favre and made him the great qb. He also had the respect of his players and I don't see that from MM. We have seen how he throws players under the bus and the arguments on the sidelines.
So after all that I say the best head coach we had was Lindy Infante 😝 but seriously I don't think it's even close. And Buckeye I am sorry but loyalty only goes so far and have we even heard of any other team wanting MM?

You have to put the ball in your best players hands and even if that means HB Toss option to throw to a TE crossing or scramble. As I quoted McCarthy, he had a statistic he wanted to hit of a certain amount of carries. That was a mistake.
McCarthy has handed the play calling duties to someone else and the Packers will reap the benefits. McCarthy needs to COACH or call plays, not both.
It is hard to say we fans have nothing to complain about after being a handful of minutes away from a Super Bowl berth against a team they beat just a month or two prior. However, I get the point and the point is valid. You can find nearly two dozen team fan bases that have zero sympathy over our misfortune from the past season.
Some of us make the mistake that if we are not unruly to the Packers it means we are complacent. No. We can respect and appreciate the immensely fortunate position we are in while also wanting some more rings to validate said fortune.
