Perhaps I am dense, but I really can’t understand the animosity towards Mark Murphy. The guy has been successful in everything he has done....including as an all pro safety, and as team president.
In my estimation, on the whole the franchise has been successful since he took over.
Did he wait a year to long to pull the trigger on Ted Thompson? Yes IMO
Did he wait too long on McCarthy? In my estimation yes, but only because McCarthy chose not to do anything about Dom Capers until way too late...and once you don’t fix a problem, you own it.
But let’s get a little sense of perspective...most other franchises, other than New England, would envy our track record.
The same people who are critical of Murphy and are concerned about his micromanagement are blaming him in essense for NOT micromanaging 2-3 years ago. They can’t have it both ways.
If Gutey and LaFleur don’t work out, that’s another story, but for now, give the man a break.
