way back when mccarthy was first hired i said it was a bad choice. he was coming straight off being an oc for the 49ers, who were dreadful (ranked 30th in the nfl in points scored and dead last in yards gained). his packers connection was that he was brett favre's qb coach in 1999. after that he became the saints oc for five seasons where he achieved very mediocre results in four out of five seasons. as the packers head coach, he had two hall of fame qbs to work with and in 13 seasons made it to the superbowl one time. i believe there are a lot of coaches who could have done a lot better.
5 of the last 7 Super Bowl winners had a QB that did not have the talent Rodgers has. And did they have a great HC? Questionable. What made them great and the ability to win SB was a balanced roster and more important playmaker on defense. Seattle, NYG, Denver and Baltimore won for the most part because of defense. The exception yes was NE and Phila last year but was that an anomaly
