Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Taking over a team that went 4-12 in 2005, McCarthy has directed a quick turnaround. The Packers went 8-8 in McCarthy's first season before their big 2007 campaign in which the club went 13-3 and captured the NFC North Division title. Their 13 wins tied a franchise record set on two other occasions. Despite being the NFL's youngest team, Green Bay nearly reached the Super Bowl for the first time in a decade before enduring a 20-17 loss to the eventual champion New York Giants in the NFC title game.
