Wait. Green Bay (to outsiders) is known for toilet paper, meat packing, and FOOTBALL. I think the former 2, naming streets after them would be silly so it's best to name them after football. Why is this an issue? Give Mike McCarthy a street.

I think it's safe to say McCarthy has exceeded Sherman, lets drop that thinking. Feel free to correct my numbers if need be. I'm still sleepy.

Nope. It is my opinion and I will keep it thank you very much. In 1 year Mike M will surpass Mike S in wins. (Along with Bart Starr.) He will be # 4 all time. It makes more sense to honor him then. But even that is too soon for me.

I never said McCarthy did not have a better winning %. My opinion is based on him being coach for ONLY 5 years. I felt they gave Holmgren the street too soon as well. It is MY opinion it should be given at the end of a long and successful career not towards the beginning or in the middle of a career.

I didn't know Green Bay was known for meat-packing. I know there are two companies that pack beef.

JBS and American Foods.

JBS is whom I work for, but they moved me to Greeley, CO.

My fault, I wasn't trying to piss you off. I just think the implication that McCarthy hasn't done enough, or surpassed Sherman is silly. 🙂

The Super Bowl XXXI victory was different than this one. Holmgren brought a Super Bowl victory to Green Bay after decades of futility by the Packers. It was a bigger deal than this last win. Not trying to diminish what this team just accomplished, but I'm saying that I think the city of Green Bay got caught up with all the emotion that surrounded SB 31 and hence name a street after Holmgren. I think that sets an interesting precedent because now every time a coach wins a Super Bowl they're going to rename a street. Not that McCarthy isn't deserving, but he didn't seem to bring the team through as monumental of a hurdle or transformation as Holmgren did. McCarthy inherited a winning team, one that had a winning record for over a decade. Not trying to stir the pot here, just comparing Super Bowl win to Super Bowl win.

Uh, McCarthy and Thompson inherited a team that HAD been winning but the wins were dwindling right along with their chances to do anything great and they were downright AWFUL in Sherman's last year. The team went through a major overhaul with these two and sometimes I think many don't understand how hard it is to do that and still keep winning.

The fact that the team had been winning up until just before these two got here has nothing to do with the team that has been built to what it is now or what it has accomplished. There is but a handfull of guys or less still around from pre-Thompson/McCarthy.


ALL the coaches are different and 90%+ of all the players are different than what happened in the decade prior to their arrival and we are blessed the decisions they made got us here. This was not a team on any kind of rise when TT/McCarthy showed up.

Anyone that doesn't see the task at hand was monumental at the least is missing what's gone on up there since '05.

There is all this talk of Mike getting a street named after him. What about Uncle teddy? He has done just as good of a job as Mike has. Is there a street named after Ron Wolf? He deserves one as well.

That's a good point. Naming a street after people that won championships for the Packers isn't a huge deal in my opinion and I think it's a worthy cause. It makes for a unique atmosphere and is much better than the same old tired street names you can find in any city in any town in any state in America.

Props to Green Bay for giving Mike a street.

I better get a street named after me before Ted Thompson. If it wasn't for my elite Madden skills, he'd be nothing. That's right.
