Green Bay One more note about last week conversation with Packers coach Mike McCarthy. He talked a lot about the strength of his partnership with Packers general manager Ted Thompson as being a key to their overall success in Green Bay:
always go back to the interview process when Ted was looking for a partner to build a program. We talked about having a base philosophy of drafting and developing and we have accomplished that. I think all of the things have happened because of the way that we built it. The quality of people we have throughout the personnel department, the coaching department, our support staff, is incredible. A lot of them have been here over 20 years and I think our equipment staff has more than 100 years of experience.
so many www.patriotsfootballproshop.com/51_jerod_mayo_jersey_authentic_black_limited_cheap.html positive things and just to pull that all together really admire Ted. He does his job. He Jerod Mayo Elite Jersey on the road right now, working on the college draft. He a great example of what we built here. When there a job to do, if everybody just stays focused on their job, tried to eliminate the extra stuff that can bog you down, we all be successful. He a strong Christian. He just very consistent. He very easy to www.patriotsfootballproshop.com work with. He a lot easier to talk with today than he was seven years ago but I sure that part of our relationship growing. also mentioned the uniqueness of being a head coach in a smalltomedium sized city like Green Bay.
Bay is a remarkable community to live in. People don realize unless you had the opportunity to work in another NFL city, just the fact that you're seven minutes from home, it is still small town America. Which I love. It the Midwest. The priorities of family and community are very strong here. I like to think I the same person. That something my dad has always told me, too; don forget where you came from. I am in tune with that. My wife and my children keep me grounded so I have no desire to change. I am very blessed here and that part of the reason why Jessica and I try to give back as much as we can. interesting note by DE Mike Daniels: he believes McCarthy doesn allow the extreme hazing of rookies. Rookies may have to carry luggage or pick up a restaurant tab now and then, but not a whole lot of hazing that goes on around here. He more worried about winning football games than hey, how can we pick on the rookies. You don see guys getting thrown in to a plunge pool or paying for $40,000 meals. I think if somebody did something pretty low to a rookie they be in deep trouble with him, said Daniels.
biggest thing is he cares about his guys, said receiver Randall Cobb. lot of people say he a player coach but I think it just that he cares about his guys. Sometimes you see coaches who don even acknowledge some players; he acknowledges everyone in here. for McCarthy tenure, which is one of the longest in the NFL right now, here a quick little list of the most recent coaches in the NFL:
Patriots Bill Belichick, coach since 2000
Jets Rex Ryan 2009; Eric Mangini 20062008
