My heart tells me only an NFCC appearance at the least, I think Jerry/Stephen might talk themselves into extending McCarthy if we win the division and lose a close one in the divisional round against an elite team.In all seriousness what do you think would prevent a whole new coaching staff? It's a high bar at this point. We know winning 12 games and being NFC East champs won't cut it. It's going to take some real post season success. Of course the embarrassing exit this year sort of turned up the pressure 1000 fold. Had we lost to the Packers on some last second fluke play, it may have bought some more grace. But the absolute and total collapse against a young, low level playoff team was inexcusable.
Three straight 12 win seasons almost dooms McCarthy unless he makes the NFC Championship game. You better be a top 4 NFL team next year. Those aren't great odds.
With that said, I think the chances of McCarthy being gone after next year are at least 75-80%.
