A funny thing happened on the way to the next job for former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy; There was no job. McCarthy thought he\u2019d walk triumphantly out of the Packers\u2019 offices and into another team\u2019s facilities only to have the doorman put his hand square on his chest. It didn\u2019t happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it still ain\u2019t happening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of NFL coaching jobs coming open at the end of the season. Two of them are already sitting there, the Washington Redskins and Carolina Panthers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jobs in Cleveland, Jacksonville, Los Angeles (Chargers), New York (Giants), Detroit and Atlanta could (and probably should) all come available in early January. We could be looking at a Black Monday bloodbath and nobody, no pundit, no expert, no Ian Rappaport or Adam Schefter, has connected McCarthy with any of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn\u2019t it strange that a coach that won a Super Bowl and compiled a 135-85-2 record isn\u2019t even getting a cursory nod?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not when it\u2019s Mike McCarthy. Not when you\u2019re the reason Aaron Rodgers only has one Super Bowl ring. Not when a rookie head coach took the exact same team you consistently lost with and has it sitting atop the NFC North at 10-3 with three games to go. Not when your own former quarterback was so outraged by your high school-level playcalls, that he would not only change them in the huddle, but sometimes draw up his own receivers\u2019 routes in the dirt over what you strategically put into the gameplan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, Mike McCarthy is dumb. He\u2019s a stupid man who fell ass-backwards into the job of a lifetime with the best quarterback of the era. That quarterback drug his fat ass up and down the NFL landscape for a decade before the truth finally came out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one Packers source told The Bleacher Report, \u201cMike has a low football IQ and that used to bother Aaron. He\u2019d say Mike has one of the lowest IQs, if not the lowest IQ, of any coach he\u2019s ever had.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hard to believe McCarthy\u2019s phone isn\u2019t blowing up right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since nobody\u2019s talking about McCarthy in connection with any open (or soon to open) NFL job, the coach took a break from closing down the men\u2019s room at the local Golden Corral to make his case to the NFL Network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve found through this transition (getting fired) is\u2026 our family needs this (football),\u201d McCarthy said in the interview. \u201cWe need to do this\u2026 just \u2018cause of everything that\u2019s happened. And this will be a great opportunity for us. \u2026 We need football right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But football doesn\u2019t need you, buddy. Get back to the chocolate fountain in the dessert line where you belong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TONIGHT\u2019S GAME<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

NEW YORK JETS AT BALTIMORE RAVENS (-16.5, O\/U: 45)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no reason to overthink it here. The Jets have absolutely no chance to win this game, your argument to take New York at +16.5 are intriguing. Baltimore just came off a tough victory over a hard-nosed Buffalo Bills team and is likely banged up because of it. They\u2019ve had a short week and with a game advantage in the AFC home field race and playoff spot already locked up, maybe they sleepwalk through this one. It\u2019s not enough for a New York win, but it could keep the Ravens from covering. I can guarantee you one thing, John Harbaugh is completely unconcerned about a two TD plus FG spread and will be more than content to just win and hit the couch for 10 days. RAVENS 20 JETS 10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
