Experience

The thing that people hate the most about sports is losing. But, they do say that winning cures all and McCarthy knows how to win.

In 13 seasons, McCarthy was 125-77-2 in the regular season and was 10-8 in the playoffs and won a Super Bowl title in the 2010 season.

Under McCarthy, the Packers made the playoffs nine times and reached the NFC Championship game four times, but only won once.

McCarthy led the Packers to eight seasons of ten wins or more.

To put it simply: McCarthy knows what it takes to be successful to and to win championships.

The Jets haven’t had a head coach that knows how to win championships since they hired Bill Parcels in 1997.

Over the last three seasons, the Jets are 13-31.

They haven’t come close to making the playoffs, much less making it to the Super Bowl and winning it.

McCarthy could help the Jets become a winning team, one that makes the playoffs and maybe wins a Super Bowl, again.

After being fired by the Philadelphia Eagles, Andy Reid was hired by the Kansas City Chiefs and has had a lot of success.

The Chiefs haven’t had a losing season since Reid became their head coach and have won at least 10 games in five of the six seasons that Reid has been there.

This year, the Chiefs will be in the playoffs, the fifth time they have been in the playoffs under Reid.

If Reid can have the success he’s having with the Chiefs, then McCarthy can certainly do the same with the Jets.
