[QUOTE="TJV, post: 506077, member: 4300"] I don’t understand this kind of knee-jerk reaction. Mark Lovat is the strength and conditioning coordinator and he’s been with the Packers for 15 years so it would be quite a coincidence if he and McCarthy were “buddies” before McCarthy took over as HC. So he’s apparently not a “buddy” but McCarthy is loyal to assistants, what about that? Well Lovat was named NFL Strength Coach of the Year for his work in 2011 by the Professional Football Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society. Look, I certainly recognize the Packers’ problems with injuries – so does McCarthy. And if firing Lovat would solve the problem my guess is Mike would drive him to the airport. I don’t know if the strength and conditioning staff is responsible for what looks like the above NFL average number of injuries the Packers have suffered over the past several seasons and if they are, to what extent. I also don’t know what criteria the professional association used to name Lovat coach of the year but it’s an indication he’s viewed favorably by his peers. All I’m pretty sure of on this subject is the evidence shows Lovat wasn’t a friend of McCarthy before he became HC and there is a recent, objective reason to think Lovat is respected among his peers.
