What’s your recollection of Mike McCarthy as Saints OC back in the day?
My memories are not fond.
I was in junior high and high school during that time so my memory is a bit hazzy. However, IIRC he did as good as any OC could do with Aaron Brooks at QB.

I remember Stallworth scoring on a few nice WR screens. Feels like Mccarthy was one of the first coaches to make them a staple of his offense.
I also remember for a while, angled direct snaps to Deuce were a part of the offense.

Aaron Brooks was hot garbage after McCarthy left.

He was a better coach than Jim Haslett. He turned Aaron Brooks into something, at least for a couple of seasons.

He was essentially allowed to leave after the 2003 season to go to San Francisco. The Saints offense had declined by that point. I think the last season he was here, the Saints offense didn’t score a TD on the first drive of the game until late in the season. Kinda like the Saints’ fans current lord and savior, Sean Payton.

Is that Carl smith?
If so, frick him. Y'all wanna know what it is to have a BAD OC, look no further.
Even with Bobby Herbert, we still should have won more if not for his run run dink pass philosophy.
No I can do better. Your offense is the coastal erosion offense because your constantly losing ground. Smith didn’t say shite and buddy went to a commercial
