Mike McCarthy has spent 10 seasons in charge of the Green Bay Packers, and has only missed the playoffs twice in that span, with both of those times coming within his first three years with the team. McCarthy led the Packers to a Super Bowl victory over his boyhood favorite Pittsburgh Steelers in 2010.

McCarthy has also had the pleasure of coaching one Hall of Fame quarterback in Brett Favre and another future Hall of Famer in Aaron Rodgers. That alone is reason enough to want to sit down with the Pittsburgh native over a cold Iron City (it’s a Pittsburgh thing, yinz wouldn’t get it).

McCarthy guided the Packers faithful through a very nasty breakup with Favre, which was also smoothed out by the brilliant play of Rodgers. The opportunity to hear about the divorce straight from the horse’s would be too special to pass up.

Plus, our last names are only one letter apart, so there’s one great conversation waiting be had.

Next: Todd Bowles
