Mike McCarthy named Green Bay HC. (Jim Bates not fired)

Wow, congrats to Jim Bates. He's done a great job with their D over there, and I think he's inherited a very good team there in Green Bay (when healthy). Congrats to Bates.
 
i am happy for him, i hope we see them i the superbowl in 4 years
 
Congrats, JIM!!!!!!

I hope this is true. He's a class act and deserves it. God for him, this makes me happy.

I still think he was the second best choice for our HC. After Saban, of course. And I wish Bates had been our HC instead of Wanny.
 
I think Green Bay made the right move here, they are gettin a fine head coach IMO.
 
This is what Clayton said yesterday.

Bates in the lead for GreenBay job?

Here is a part for those without insider.

Thompson would have liked a way to get Brad Childress and Bates, but Childress took the Vikings job before interviewing, and Bates made it clear he's not staying if he doesn't get the head coaching job. Thompson wouldn't want to lose Bates, so the only way to keep him is by hiring him as the head coach. This could be a decision as early as Wednesday.
 
Wow...good for him. Should be interesting to see what he does this offseason.
 
I'm very happy for him but I don't see Brett Favre returning to Green Bay with this coaching move if it's true.
