Your post got me thinking.
Would you fire a coach that won a SB, made it to the playoffs almost every season, got to the championship game last year and has a 6-1 record? Of course not. But what if I told you many other coaches would actually do better with the talent he has?
My point is: a good coach can get fired at Jacksonville or Cleveland and a bad coach can stay for many years in Denver, Green Bay or Indianapolis.
I like Mike McCarthy and I wouldn't fire him but I think he is in the middle of the pack about coaching. I think there's a list of teams we can defeat and a list of teams we can't defeat. It just it is what it is and we are fixed.
In the SB we got the right combination of opponents to win all the games, Philadelphia with Andy Reid, Atlanta with Mike Smith , Chicago with Lovie Smith and then Pittsburgh with Tomlin.
Granted, we are going to he playoffs, we can beat any NFC team at home, some teams might be dangerous if they make it: New York with Coughlin, New Orleans with S.Payton, Seattle with Carroll.
If we make it let's better hope the Patriots got knocked out because if we have to play the Pats in the SB it's not going to be pretty.
