Gilbert Brown rips Mike McCarthy

Posted by Michael David Smith on November 10, 2009 3:56 PM ET

Former Packers defensive tackle Gilbert Brown says the team's loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday is the strongest sign to date that it's time for a new coach in Green Bay.

Speaking on WSSP in Milwaukee, Brown ripped Packers coach Mike McCarthy for the coaching job he's done this season.

"It is the head coach's fault," Brown said, per SportsRadioInterviews.com. "Everything that goes on starts with the big man upfront."

When it was pointed out to Brown that the Packers have personnel issues, which would seem to suggest that General Manager Ted Thompson is the problem, Brown said it's still McCarthy's job to find a way to win with the players he has.

"It doesn't matter," Brown said. "It doesn't matter with the talent and what you put on the field if you keep making mistakes week in and week out and you don't correct it and the same thing keeps going on."

Brown, who played with Brett Favre in Green Bay from 1993 to 2003, said the Packers' two losses to Favre and the Vikings doomed the whole season to failure.

"The Vikings have stole our swagger, period," Brown said. "Everybody on that team stole our swagger. Took our quarterback. Took our heart on Lambeau Field. Took our heart in front of millions of fans on TV. Then you go out and lose to an 0-7 team. The debacle started when they played the Vikings right there. The two Vikings games crushed the season."

"It doesn't matter," Brown said. "It doesn't matter with the talent and what you put on the field if you keep making mistakes week in and week out and you don't correct it and the same thing keeps going on."



It does matter, but I can name Pro Bowl players on the Packers squad right now - Woody, Harris, Kampy, and Collins on D. On O, we got Driver. That's 5 Pro Bowlers. Cliffy was one in the past as well. Jennings would have made it in '08 but the NFC had some sick WRs that year.

So it's not like we don't have the personnel.

Brown is right about MM not fixing mistakes. We make the same ones over and over again. The same penalties as well, and way too many of them. That's on the Coaching staff.

I also agree with him about getting swept by the Vikings. We weren't supposed to lose at home to them. That was a morale killer. MM should have done everything in his power to win that game. It just seemed like he didn't want it as badly as Chilly wanted it. Because of that loss, our morale was bad enough to enable the loss to the Bucs, a previously winless team.

At least there are some people in the media willing to say what we fans are saying. McCarthy's got to go.

What bugs me is seeing no emotion out of MM.
Just ONCE i'd like to see him get on the backs of the players that screw up. And do it right after the play they screw up on. A block in the back? Grab him by the facemask and chew him out. Miss a tackle, drop a pass, fumble, whatever, CHEW THEM A NEW ONE in front of everyone. SHOW that you are tired of this BS.
But i doubt it will happen.

Mike McCarthy has no fire. It's as simple as that. Whenever he should be livid you can see his cheeks turn rosy red and he curses under his breath. That's it. Nothing more. He needs to discipline his players. Maybe because, uhh, (zero don't ban me) Favre (yikes) was on this team, constantly audibled out of MM's calls and was around longer than McCarthy, MM became intimidated? Maybe MM was undermined as a leader in his first two years? Ugh sorry for bringing up the Vikings QB but I felt it was important.
