NFL McCarthyism

News Item: Packers Hire Mike McCarthy as coach

Two reasons why this is baffling: McCarthy was offensive coordinator for the 49ers who, last I checked, really sucked on offense last year. And what's a team in Wisconsin doing hiring a guy named McCarthy? Isn't this like an Italian club soccer team hiring a coach named Mussolini?

At least the move helps restore the Mike population in the NFL coaching fraternity, after Sherman, Martz, and Tice were fired and Mularkey resigned. At least Holmgren and Shanahan are still alive in the playoffs.
