Packers call 4pm news conference (1 Viewer)

[MrPack]

They wrapped up negotiations with McCarthy and will announce his hiring.

 

[Spike]

This won't go over well initially with the people on the team.

I just don't think they buy into the OC (not a proven guy) from the 49ers and, as we all know, the 49ers are a bad team.

 

[Challenge Everything]

Hopefully they called it to clear up a mistake the media made. Bates is HC and McCarthy is OC.

 

[Man in the yellow hat]

Listening now. 3 year deal. Thompson impressed with McCarthy's ability to develop QBs. Leadership ability and comfort level stood out in interview. Mike is tough, no nonsense, and all about football.

As a former Saints fan who was constantly frustrated with McCarthy's playcalling, I can't say this is a good hire for Green Bay. BUT, you never know what a guy can do in a new environment. Hope it works out for the Packers fans.

Why does he need to develop QBs? Does this mean that Favre is for sure gone?

You need to follow a different sport.

 

[Bloom]

Is this a Red McCombs type move? Hire the guy that comes the cheapest?

 

[msommer]

Any word on Bates?

 

[mozzy84]

I know nothing about this guy, except from what I have read the last couple days, and nothing really stands out. I know if the vikes had hired this guy I would not be impressed what so ever.

 

[strykerpks]

Any word on Bates?

Ted Thompson said Bates was real disappointed.Mike McCarthy said he has temendous respect for Bates and will meet with him tomorrow.

Has any potential interviewee ever said "as a coach, I like a team full of nonsense...I think rules are kind of overrated"...of course not. Every potential hire comes in and says that same tired schtick.Gary Barnett and Mike Tice notwithstanding.
