If at the end they make this decision, okay, they went through the process.

But they didn't even go through the process.

That was my one disappointment thought.

As far as Mike McCarthy is concerned, I do note that a lot of us were talking about offensive needs.

They have to get better offensively, think better, do things differently.

Well, he does do that.

I mean, he went to Dallas, and they still had two of the top scoring seasons in the NFL, number one in each of those years when it came to scoring points.

He knows what he's doing offensively, and he does have the reputation of developing quarterbacks.

So from that point of view, that's fine.

But also, you have to consider the postseason.

What he's not been able to do is the same hurdle that Mike Tomlin has gone through.

So at this point, I'm going to say it's okay.

I would have preferred them waiting for the other guys.

But I also know that some of these guys might be here anyway as part of his coaching staff.

I think as important as him and getting the job, it's what he brings in.

And if they're really good coaches,

coordinators, specifically, who can elevate themselves to getting head jobs themselves down the road.

You could still end up, and I know it's unlikely, but Sheilhaus could still come here as a guy who is going to learn under Mike McCarthy and then leave at some point to be a head coach.

You still can get the guy from Miami, Anthony Weaver, who apparently they were impressed with as a defensive coordinator.

There still is the thought you can get Jim Schwartz, maybe, a guy who is in Cleveland and regarded as one of the best defensive guys.
