If you listen to the media he was just a good coach on a bad team.
I was wondering that myself.
In November when I was dealing with those "what is wrong with the Cards this year" questions from fans of other teams that seem to rejoice in asking me absurd things because I am a Cardinal fan. I would respond with "We need a coaching change", to which I would be treated to what a great guy Mac was etc.
I would have to explain that I too thought Mac was a great guy but if they thought that being a great guy was the best qualification for HC that I would trade them straight up for whoever was HC of "their" team. Put that way, I got no takers….but the goofs did back off for awhile.
