Because Thompson will look at McCarthy's entire tenure: In 8 complete seasons his teams have an 82-45-1 record, a 64% winning percentage in the regular season. His teams have won 4 division championships. His teams have made the playoffs in 6 of those 8 seasons. His teams have won 6 playoff games and lost 5. I know the caveats involved with those stats and I understand the disappointment not only in how this season has started (and it’s more than just the record, it’s the miserable play by both the offense and defense for long stretches) but how the last three seasons have ended. But each of those seasons ended in the playoffs. And while just making the playoffs is not enough, we can all agree there is a zero chance of winning a championship if the team doesn’t make it into the playoffs. And McCarthy’s teams have done that 75% of the time.</p></blockquote><p></p>
