and Oh, Hello,

everybody welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here, as always solo tonight, so I am expecting lots of audience participation questions

comments and we can all have a good time but we have to start out with the biggest

breaking news of the NFL and then we'll get to some Vikings talk as always,

which is Mike McCarthy is staying in the NFC. He will return according to Adam Schefter to the Dallas Cowboys and coach again next year and I want to start off with a crazy stat here's a connection with the Vikings and Mike McCarthy.

So there's no question who the

greatest Vikings coach of all time is. A guy by the name of Bud Grant took the team to

four Super Bowls, complete legend, one of the best you'll ever find his career win

percentage as the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings was 62.1% over his career, which is in the top 20 of all time.

No surprise, right?

But Grant, the go.

Mike McCarthy's win percentage as a coach for his career is 62%. So 0.1% behind the great Bud Grant.

And if you look at McCarthy's career, this is why he is such an enigma in the NFL.

Over his career, he matches up

with the best of the best in terms of regular seasons.

It actually is kind of mind-blowing. Bill Walsh is behind Mike McCarthy.

Joe Gibbs is just ahead of Mike McCarthy, the guy who I think a lot of the world thinks doesn't really know what he's doing.

Or at least he doesn't in the playoffs because we saw again showing up in the post season and pretty quickly being booted out by about the end of the first quarter

Actually by the Green Bay Packers and all Packers fans will tell you that McCarthy does not know how to coach in the playoffs.

There are many, many examples of blown opportunities during the Aaron Rogers era

and then goes to Dallas and does the exact same thing.

One playoff win since he's been there.
