1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: The New York Giants have interviewed Mike McCarthy for their

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: head coaching position. He has Lance Meantal, I am John Schmulk,

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,079
Speaker 1: Welcome to Giants dot com and Lance Mike McCarthy. You

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: will not find a candidate with as much experience as

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: him in terms of being a head coach. Head coach

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers for thirteen seasons, including nine

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: playoff appearances, eighth straight at one point. Yeah, he is

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: the art of consistency, as you mentioned, John, and he

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: won the NFC North six times in those thirteen seasons

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. Of course, the Super Bowl appearance in

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: which they ultimately beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. And it's unheard

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: of in today's NFL for somebody to last well over

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: a decade in one spot. Clearly it brings back memories

14
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 1: of what Tom Coughlin did here with the New York Giants.

15
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: So when you're talking about somebody with head coaching experience, leadership,

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: and somebody that has also been able to maintain continuity

17
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: with one team, I think Mike McCarthy is an extremely

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: attractive candidate there. And he began as the Packers head

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: coach in two thousand and six, So he oversaw the

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: transition and Brett Farve to Aaron Rodgers and obviously had

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: a hand in making Aaron Rodgers one of the best

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL that he is today well, and

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 1: that relates to if you look at the Giants opportunity

24
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones, if you have somebody that, to your point,

25
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: has worked in developing young quarterbacks, I would even take

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: it a step further. John not only did he help

27
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: develop Aaron Rodgers, he also had some influence in the

28
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: guy that was taken with the first overall pick in

29
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: that same draft, Alex Smith, because Mike McCarthy was the

30
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: Niners offensive coordinator when Alex Smith was a rookie, so

31
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: correct exposed to two promising young quarterbacks early in their career.

32
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: And that's something also that relates somewhat to the situation

33
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: with the New York Giants right now. Now. You talked

34
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: about some of the success in Green Bay, so did

35
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: I Just for some more detail. You mentioned the six

36
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 1: first place finishes, four time, second place, second time in third.

37
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: In terms of his playoffs, you mentioned the one Super

38
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: Bowl championship. He has three losses in NFC championship games.

39
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: Three times he got to the divisional round and he

40
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: had two wild card losses. He was fired from the

41
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: Packers and two thousand and eighteen, but an overall record

42
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: of one seventy seven and two. So not just regular

43
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 1: season success, he has had postseason success as well. Yeah,

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: it translated to the second season, as I like to

45
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: call in. And also they had a few deep postseason runs,

46
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: which is important too. It wasn't as if it was

47
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: a flash here or there now as far as his

48
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: philosophy and why I think he had such a long

49
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: standing status with the Green Bay Packers, part of it

50
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: was the development of Aaron Rodgers. Part of it was

51
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: also some flashes of a rushing attack, especially in the

52
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: year they won the Super Bowl with James Starks. And also,

53
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, he comes from that West Coast model system

54
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: where the quarterback is able to get rid of the

55
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: football quickly and use the talent around him. Aaron Rodgers

56
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: had a luxury, as well as Mike McCarthy john to

57
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 1: be surrounded by a lot of playmakers Jordy Nelson comes

58
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: to mind, Davante Adams, and also an offensive line that,

59
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: while it had some issues, they were still ABORI overcome

60
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 1: some of those things. Yeah. Absolutely, You mentioned the West

61
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: Coast offense influence absolutely the case, and Giant fans should

62
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: be familiar with the type of offense that Mike McCarthy run.

63
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: Remember Ben McAdoo was his quarterbacks coach, Mike McCarthy was

64
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: the head coach, was the o c called plays, gave

65
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: that duty up. Then Mike McCarthy took those duties back.

66
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: So it could be a situation where if he comes

67
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: becomes the head coach, he would call plays, but there

68
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: were situations in the past where he did trust those

69
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: duties to other people. Yeah. I think over the course

70
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: of his tenure in Green Bay, John, and it's a

71
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: great point. He has been balancing both where he's the

72
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: head coach and play caller, but at the same time

73
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: he also has had situations where he's delegated those responsibilities

74
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: of Ben McAdoo was under his guidance Joe Philbin, who

75
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: also has previous head coach experience, Tom Clement. We're talking

76
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: about a number of experience guys that he's worked with

77
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: who he's entrusted the play calling ability too. But at

78
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: the same time, remember this goes back to part of

79
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: what the attractiveness of him as a candidate is his

80
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: ability to run offenses and adjust to schemes. So that

81
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: is similar to what we've seen with other head coaches

82
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: who can balance both. Mike McCarthy certainly fits under that umbrella.

83
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: That's Mike McCarthy, the two thousand seven Coach of the Year.

84
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: He's Lands Metal. I'm John Schmilch. Stay tuned to Giants
