Mike McCarthy is Motorola Coach of the Year after leading the Packers to a 13-3 season and the NFC North Title. A year after finishing 8-8 McCarthy fielded the youngest team in the league and tied the Packer team record for wins in a season. McCarthy, who calls the plays on offense, watched QB Brett Favre have a resurgent season and an offense that came in second in total yards per game (370.7), total passing yards (270.9), and fourth in total points scored (450). To protect Favre, McCarthy employed the league’s only offensive line that used five of their own draft choices as starters. On defense, the Packers were tied for sixth in points allowed (291) and interceptions (19). Green Bay is young and talented on defense, with only two starters in their 30s. On special teams, the Packers relied on the foot of rookie kicker Mason Crosby, who had three field goals of at least 50 yards. McCarthy was nominated for two Motorola NFL Coach of the Week awards, winning twice.
