I can give you the names of 7 people who heard me say,
"I don't like this," at least 3 times when Packers Head Coach Mike
McCarthy decided to go for it on a 4th-and-1 from his own 42 leading 14-6. I
also said, "he will go off-tackle left for negative 1." and guess
what he went off-tackle left for negative 1 yards.
When asked about the play here's what McCarthy said,
"Oh, I was pissed off. Totally. That’s just the way I’m wired. I feel
responsible when things don’t go well. I mean, my job’s to orchestrate and keep
our guys in healthy plays and create flow and rhythm for Aaron. That’s the way
I believe play-calling should operate. But there was too much risk there. I
screwed it up.”
"Really". You are pissed off about what? A play
you call all the time in the same situation and it fails almost all the time.
You had to add "That's just the way I'm wired". What the hell does
that mean? Then you said, "I feel responsible when things don’t go
well." "REALLY". I may be wrong, but you are the head coach and
you call all the plays, so you ARE responsible whether you feel it or not.
