Mike McCarthy speech at the 2016 Green Bay Catholic Mens Conference still available online

Just talked to Mike McCarthy. Had nothing but praise for the Packers organization. “Im proud I was part of the Packers family, proud to be part of such a great organization.” Said his main focus tonight is his family.

Sparing Mike McCarthy a month’s worth of rumors, plus the indignity of playing out the string, strikes me as a respectful outcome. It’s OK to do things differently from the way they have always been done.

I thought it worth reminding readers after the firing of the long time coach during the Packers 100 year anniversary season, that McCarthy was active in the community, including the Catholic community.  I don't know of any other NFL head coach who takes time in his offseason to talk to a bunch of Catholic men, but that's just what McCarthy did two years ago.  Most sane fans would still root for this guy wherever he lands.


If the video doesn't show up, it can be found here.  McCarthy starts at 6:25:31, I couldn't get the embed to start at that time.

Notable is McCarthy getting choked up right off the bat (perhaps from raw emotion from speaking openly about his faith) and later choked up trying to talk about the recent and untimely death of his brother.
