Now that the Packers are one game away from the Super Bowl, a lot of talk has surfaced that Mike McCarthy should win coach of the year, but better then Lombardi?  I don't think we'll see a McCarthy Field anytime soon, but this is interesting from Star Tribune.

McCarthy will need to win about five Super Bowls before most Packers fans will elevate him to Lombardi's exalted status. I say he's already a better coach than Vinny, and any Packers fan who doesn't agree should get with the century and embrace modern developments. Such as electricity, and the forward pass.

Lombardi dominated 14- and 16-team leagues. To win his first four NFL titles, he had to win either one or two postseason games. Today, becoming the best of 16 teams and winning one or two postseason games would get you to the conference title game, a level reached by such legends as Jim Mora, Denny Green, Brad Childress and Steve Mariucci.
