Did we all expect that the next Packers coach would have a 49ers background but that it would be Mariucci?

McCarthy set to become coach

The Green Bay Packers are set to hire Mike McCarthy as their new head coach, according to NFL sources.

McCarthy, 42, was the Packers’ quarterbacks’ coach in 1999, and this past season was the San Francisco 49ers’ offensive coordinator. Before that he was offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints from 2000 through 2004.

The Packers are expected to announce the hiring sometime Thursday or Friday morning

General Manager Ted Thompson interviewed McCarthy on Sunday — he was one of seven candidates Thompson met with in a search to replace fired coach Mike Sherman. Thompson’s final interview was Tuesday with defensive coordinator Jim Bates, who also appeared to be a leading candidate. But Bates said Thompson informed him early Wednesday evening that he wasn’t getting the job.

McCarthy is one of the many coaches league-wide who runs a version of the West Coast offense.

Hmmmm... interesting.

Looks as though Thompson wants Favre to stick around another year or two if he decides on McCarthy. Good... we have a ********-weak schedule next year, so I'm looking forward to it...

I said it last off-season, I'll say it again now. I'll trust in Thompson. We have a top class D-Coord, just need to get the O back on track, starting with a decent O-Coord or offensive minded HC.

Re: Coaching carousel...

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) -- Eric Mangini has worked for Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick, learning from two of the greatest coaches in the NFL.
The Jets are banking on that pedigree to lead them back into the playoffs.
Despite his youth and relative inexperience, the organization hired Mangini as its coach Tuesday. The former Patriots defensive coordinator, who turns 35 on Thursday, becomes the youngest head coach in the league.
Terms of the deal weren't known but it is believed he will get between $2 million and $2.5 million per year over five years.
"Being compared to Bill Belichick is one of the highest compliments you can be paid," Mangini said. "I am not Bill Belichick, I am not Bill Parcells. I am Eric Mangini. I'm going to approach it my way. I'm going to take the experiences and the lessons that I learned from those guys and I'm going to apply that to my team."
The baby-faced Mangini won't be confused with former coach Herman Edwards, who left for Kansas City last week. Mangini was reserved and low key at his introductory news conference, hardly exhibiting any of the fire and energy that is Edwards' trademark.
But this is a new era for the organization, which hopes Mangini can instill a different attitude after the Jets finished 4-12 last season. Much of those expectations have to do with the people Mangini has worked under.
While Mangini was going to Wesleyan, he figured he would be an investment banker. But he spent two summers studying in Australia while coaching a semipro football team. It was there he realized he wanted to go into coaching permanently.
Mangini took a job as a ball boy with the Cleveland Browns, then went to work in the public relations department. He then met Belichick, who gave him a few assignments to do. Belichick liked his work and gave him a job as an assistant in 1995.
From there he worked for Ted Marchibroda in Baltimore in 1996, then for Parcells and Belichick with the Jets from 1997-99. Mangini moved with Belichick to New England, where he served his one and only season as defensive coordinator in 2005.
In all, Mangini spent 10 of 11 years in the NFL working under Belichick.
"I learned a lot from Bill Belichick," Mangini said. "I learned you need to understand people. He is a master motivator. He was my mentor, my teacher and I consider him a close friend that I will have for the rest of my life."
Mangini, who also has close ties with Jets assistant general manager Mike Tannenbaum, interviewed with the team Sunday, a day after the Patriots were eliminated from the playoffs. The Jets offered him the job late Monday night and Mangini accepted. Though there were reports Belichick tried to talk him out of taking the position, Mangini said his old coach was supportive.
The Jets interviewed seven other candidates, but they settled on Mangini because of his background and work ethic.
"He's got a strong pedigree," owner Woody Johnson said. "He's been a major contributor to a very successful organization. The most important thing is he demonstrated to us a passion for football, a passion for teaching. He knows something about the culture of football that appealed to us."
Even Parcells chimed in, saying in a statement: "More than anything, his experience in working alongside Bill Belichick and the success they had in New England will serve him well as he becomes a head coach."
Then there was the question of his age.
"Obviously my age is a question. But I read recently where Bill Walsh said you're never quite ready for your first head coaching job regardless of how old you are," Mangini said. "I'm not naive to think there won't be bumps along the way. We're going to grow together."
General manager Terry Bradway said that wasn't a concern.
"I have no problem with that. It's about experience and ability. It's not about age," Bradway said.
The Jets also interviewed former Vikings coach Mike Tice, former Saints coach Jim Haslett, former Rams interim coach Joe Vitt, Giants defensive coordinator Tim Lewis and Jets assistants Donnie Henderson, Mike Heimerdinger and Mike Westhoff.
Mangini said he would meet with the coaches on staff in the next few days to decide who he wants to retain. It is unlikely Henderson and Heimerdinger will return; Westhoff could come back.
The team Mangini inherits has its share of questions, and has to be rebuilt on offense. The biggest dilemma is quarterback Chad Pennington, coming off his second major shoulder injury.
The offensive line and receiving corps have to be revamped, and a decision must be made on whether to keep running back Curtis Martin -- the only player to attend the news conference. Still, Mangini said there was no hesitancy in taking the job.
"I've been a coach for 11 years, I've been on three Super Bowl winning teams," Mangini said. "I've been with two of the greatest football minds in NFL history. I've got an extensive foundation to build the Jets into a Super Bowl-caliber franchise."
Mangini is the fourth NFL coach hired since the end of the regular season. There are still five openings: Buffalo, New Orleans, Oakland, Houston and St. Louis. Detroit, which fired Steve Mariucci during the season and appointed ******** Jauron interim coach, is also interviewing candidates.

In the article posted by Crazy Big Al about Eric Mangini's appointment to the NY Jets job. I assume the semi-pro team was in America and he studied Down Under in the off-season. Could someone enlighten me where the semi-pro league is in Australia if I'm wrong with that assumption.
At any rate he should have some things in common with his punter.

Jets coach's Aussie start
Grantley Bernard
19jan06

IT'S FAIRLY safe to say Eric Mangini is doing a lot better than the Kew Colts.

An instant millionaire after yesterday signing a five-year deal to be the New York Jets' head coach, Mangini is doing far, far better than the Colts.
The club folded not long after the American led them to the Gridiron Victoria championship in the early 1990s, then headed home.
"They won the championship, he went back and they folded," GV vice-president Peter Steve said. "When he went back they lost a lot of drive."
It is a drive that helped Mangini, as player-coach, take the Colts to the top, and helped him work through the NFL system from the bottom up.
Mangini, who is 35 today, did menial tasks as a public relations intern for the Cleveland Browns before signing as the Jets' head coach.
Not that the Kew Colts are Mangini's only link to Australia.
According to the New York Times, Mangini is the man who discovered the punting talents of Ben Graham, who last year quit his AFL career with Geelong to try out and sign with the Jets.
So Australia has been pretty good for Mangini, who came out here in the early 1990s during his college summer holidays to visit his brother Kyle.
He stayed long enough to win a title with the Colts and returned often enough to see Graham's prodigious skills.
It was on Mangini's recommendation the Jets kept close tabs on Graham until he broke into the NFL this season, but now it is Mangini's turn to break through as the league's youngest head coach on a deal reportedly worth $2.6 million-$3.3 million a season.
After the Colts convinced him his future was as a coach, Mangini went from the basement at the Browns to the coaching staffs of the Baltimore Ravens, the Jets and New England Patriots, where he was defensive co-ordinator this season.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick helped Mangini into the football operation at Cleveland and took him to every other coaching stop he has made, including with the Jets under Bill Parcells.
"I've been a coach for 11 years. I've been on three Super Bowl-winning teams," Mangini said.
"I've got an extensive foundation to build the Jets into a Super Bowl-calibre franchise."
It was a foundation that started with the Kew Colts and ended with Mangini's appointment to the Jets, no doubt providing a buzz for those who played with and against him 15 years ago.
