Mike McCarthy hasn’t appeared on Dave Letterman or a WWE event, but his life has changed subtly since winning the Super Bowl.

I still go to Starbucks every morning. Got a cup with ‘Congratulations!’ on it today – that was nice,” McCarthy said at his season-ending press conference. “But other than that, they still charged me. So everything’s staying the same.”

McCarthy was meeting with his coordinators Wednesday and Thursday to go over their season-ending evaluations. The rest of the coaching staff was given time off until the NFL Scouting Combine. G.M. Ted Thompson is grinding away with his staff on pre-Combine meetings.

While McCarthy says most things haven’t changed, he’s still had a few crazy experiences. Like talking to the President, for instance.
