I'll jump in the McCarthy lovefest and point out that he seems to do a pretty good job hiring and developing assistant coaches, and the results are being seen on the field. Quinn and Philbin are guys who spent a lot of years as head coaches and have their units performing exceptionally. The British d line coach seems like a hell of a find too if you give him any credit for that units unbelievable turnaround. And of course Moore who gets all the credit but has undeniably developed as a playcaller, schemer under McCarthy's watch.
I also like his attitude towards the refs more than Garrett but thats more a personal thing. Pulling Gregory aside after the 2 personal fouls then leaving him out there to destroy the Vikings TD chance was a fuck you to the refs and almost any other coach would have pulled Gregory from the game. The team notices shit like that and thats why they play hard for him.
His clock management does often suck
