GREEN BAY http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-oren-burks-jersey , Wis. (AP) — Former Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy says he was surprised and stunned at the timing of his firing last December and believes his dismissal was handled poorly.McCarthy told ESPN in a story posted Wednesday he knew it might be in trouble if the Packers missed the playoffs. But he was fired with four games left after the Packers lost at home to Arizona, dropping the team to just 4-7-1.“If we missed the playoffs, I expected change might happen,” McCarthy said. “But the timing surprised me. It couldn’t have been handled any worse.”McCarthy said he was summoned to a meeting with team President Mark Murphy after the loss and fired in a discussion he said was impersonal and “hard to swallow.” He said he always tried to be gentle in releasing players and he didn’t get the same treatment.“Mark said it was an ugly loss, and it was time to make (a) change,” McCarthy said. “He said something about the offense and the special teams, and he didn’t think it was going to get any better. There was no emotion to it. That was hard.”Packers spokesman Aaron Popkey declined to comment.McCarthy was in his 13th season as coach and won the Super Bowl in the 2010 season. He finished his tenure in Green Bay with a record of 125-77-2.McCarthy said he is taking a year off but working hard to prepare for a possible coaching job next season.“Time provides the opportunity for reflection and clarity and that’s where I’m at now,” said McCarthy, who interviewed for the Jets‘ coaching job that went to Adam Gase. “And it’s clear to me now that both sides needed a change.” After Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels jilted the Colts last year Vince Biegel Jersey White , some thought he had blown his shot at other head-coaching opportunities. A year later, McDaniels has multiple potential suitors.Getting an interview is one thing; getting an offer could be quite another.For now, it’s possible that teams like the Packers, Browns, and Bengals simply want to pick McDaniels’ brain regarding life with a franchise quarterback (OK, that may leave out the Bengals), given that Green Bay has one on the wrong side of 35 and Cleveland has one on the right side of 25. Before anyone would extend McDaniels an offer of employment, he’ll surely need to answer tough questions about why he did what he did a year ago, and whether there’s a chance he’d do it again.Chances are he knows he can’t Womens Demetri Goodson Jersey , that if he accepts an offer on a wink-nod basis before the Patriots end their playoff run, he’d have no choice but to honor it this time, lest he never be trusted again. Still, the real question is whether McDaniels can be trusted not simply to show up if he unofficially accepts, but whether if he couldn’t be trusted a year ago with a fairly big thing he can be trusted now and in the future with a wide array of little things.This isn’t about sticking it to the Colts and owner Jim Irsay. Billion-dollar businesses stick it to all sorts of people all the time, to the point where they’re numb to it. This is about sticking it to men who accepted employment and uprooted families under the assumption that McDaniels was taking the Colts job. That human element made McDaniels’ about face even more stunning, despite the fact that it was widely rumored to be a real possibility last year in the days before the Super Bowl.In 2019, will McDaniels be able to line up a coaching staff if New England beats the Texans, Ravens http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-davon-house-jersey , or Chargers next Saturday and then the Chiefs, Colts, Ravens, or Chargers the following week? Will anyone roll the dice on McDaniels being a man of his word based on the manner in which he broke his word last year?A wise man once told me you lose your integrity only once. No matter what the eventual explanation from McDaniels, the fact that he didn’t follow through after reaching what necessarily was the point of no return (especially for those who relied on him) should create real concerns not only regarding whether he’ll actually show up this time, but whether he’ll have true and complete credibility after he does.
