Former Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy doesn’t plan to be away from the NFL for long. After taking a year off, McCarthy plans to return to the NFL in 2020, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com.
McCarthy has been prepping for the opportunity by studying game film all season. He routinely meets with a group of other coaches — which includes former New Orleans Saints coach Jim Haslett — to go over film and discuss concepts.
The 56-year-old McCarthy says he’s also studied his progression as a coach and play caller. He’s watched tape of himself going all the way back to when he was an assistant at the University of Pittsburgh.
