I still don't believe the bromide that we must make the playoffs this season or heads will roll. However, if Mike McCarthy persists in his bullheaded refusal to adapt his scheme to the personnel he has at his disposal -- more particularly, if we are consistently dominated throughout the season -- I can see him being let go at season's end. I don't believe the final record will be the deciding factor but rather how the team looks on the field. If they lose a lot of close ones but they're scrappy and spirited, I doubt it will cost him his job. If they look sloppy and are dominated by inferior teams as they were today, I can see him packing his bags.
I don't see any scenario short of a 2-14 season in which Ted Thompson is discharged, however.
