My guess is that he needs someone trustworthy that can honestly say that they
didn't know what was happening, in case the plans went wrong.  If the MoM
decides to get rid of Dumbledore for "plotting something", and McGonagall can
truthfully claim ignorance, then they might not get rid of her.  That would keep
out an Unknown Element from taking over Hogwarts.  

Probably a stupid idea, but I can't bring myself to even fathom Evil!McGonagall.
