It wasn't always because of coaching that Rodgers didn't win another SB.

Quoted:

Something something Aaron Rodgers something something 1 SB ring something wasted HoF career

Quoted:

Post-McCarthy, the Packers haven’t won a Super Bowl despite having a first ballot HoF QB and the #1 seed multiple times.

You should be thanking Mike McCarthy that the Packers had even had ONE Super Bowl with A-a-ron.

"Mayo is the franchise's first Black head coach, a distinction he said "means a lot to me." Kraft referred to himself as "colorblind" when making decisions for the team.

Mayo says he sees it differently.

“I do see color. If you don't see color, you can't see racism," Mayo said."

The eyerolling has started already in New England with the new coach's comments.

Quoted:


I don't mean to be a dick to you or him, but it kind of is a bad take.

First up, the Cowboys offense struggled against an infamously sketchy Joe Barry defense. That defense was so problematic, it was a weekly meme in the U-Tree videos. While I can name every HC in the league, there aren't that many DCs I know off the top of my head, and Joe Barry is one I do know of, and for all the wrong reasons. When you have what is arguably the #2 offense in the NFL, and you come out flat and struggle against those guys, it's a problem.

Second thing is, the Cowboys offense didn't really play with a sense of urgency when they needed to, and they seem to fail a lot at situational football things. If you look at a "you have X yards to go and Y seconds to do it" type scenarios, the Cowboys seem to get that wrong a lot, and I'm not really talking about a lack of talent or bad execution. They're slow to the line and they run plays that are wrong for the situation. Need a TD with the clock about to run out? Let's take forever to snap the ball, then throw it to a guy outside the end zone! This was an established criticism of them last season, and while I'm not in the habit of watching the Cowboys play often, I don't get the sense that this has improved.

And a big one is, this the opportunity cost of keeping McCarthy is real. This is a uniquely interesting year in the coaching cycle. There are a lot of interesting names out there, both veterans and young guns. I don't think Vrabel is the solution to the Cowboys problem, but Belichick and Harbaugh? Johnson and Slowik? All of those guys have the potential to be better than what McCarthy is. Keeping McCarthy and not bringing those guys in for interviews and discussions seems like a really big mistake. HC isn't like QB. We only get a few elite QBs per decade in the league, but solid coaches aren't THAT hard to find, and you don't need a top 5 draft pick or $200M+ in fully guaranteed cap space money to bring one in. Yes, you can get it wrong. But after four seasons, we know (or should know) McCarthy ain't it. And next year's pool probably won't be as good.

I can't really speculate about a lot of the hypothetical relationship issues between Jerry and prospective coaches. I'm sure it comes from somewhere, but a lot of that sounds like urban legends and wife's tales.
