It kind of steams my clams when people question what he does as if a HC is supposed to be a glorified coordinator and a walk around coach is a new concept. I don't need a detailed itinerary to understand that he's running the team and not in the spa all day.
Jimmy Johnson, Bill Parcells, and Tom Landry were all walk around coaches also.
I prefer the head coach be more administrator than a coordinator-plus.
They can put the prints all over their area of specialty, but handling the team's mood is hard when you are focused on a particular part of the team. It is all about the coordinators. Sometimes hiring your butt buddies from wherever you came from isn't all that. One thing that McCarthy learned is that he had to get a good DC to counter-balance things. He didn't always have that at the end in Green Bay.
I think McCarthy has at least shown he can navigate through things. I don't think he is the most motivational, but that is a tough quality to sustain.
