[QUOTE="weeds, post: 539725, member: 39"] Pure conjecture on my part here because a fan grading out a QB's coach that sort of followed Mike McCarthy and Mike McCarthy's career path is somewhat futile. The two seem to mirror each other by coincidence or by design, who can say for sure. I've always been of the opinion - sort of - that a QB's coach has been more of an observer than an instructor. Conducting something of a hokey-pokey course emphasizing footwork and mechanics more than anything...McCarthy was Favre's QB coach in Green Bay in '99 (under Rhodes) and moved on to a few other stops including, but not limited to New Orleans and San Francisco (oddly, the year McCarthy was their O.C., the 9'e4rs had the worst offense in the NFL - go figure), with or under McCarthy's watchful eye. He's got the OL, tight ends and QB positions covered in his coaching resume. In all likelihood, McAdoo benefited from McCarthy's much ballyhoo'd Quarterback camp as any current and former Packers' QB. My guess is that he was hired on "intangibles" ... sorta like McCarthy was in Green Bay (remember Thompson referring to him as "Pittsburgh tough"? I'm guessing but I'd say that the guy has a sharp mind...and that's what got him the job. Having Aaron Rodgers probably benefited his career, but I'm also guessing that this guy's elevator goes all the way to the top. [/QUOTE]
