Mike Mccarthy promoted Bennett a few times when he felt he was doing good jobs
Perhaps he was not an effective OC
Would ANYBODY here prefer Edgar Bennett to Philbin ?
I think most would consider it an upgrade

LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
Philbin is an upgrade. Under Bennett as OC in 2015-2016, the Packers offense went through stretches where they really struggled. Not sure how much of Hundley's struggles this year were Bennett's fault. With the Raiders, Bennett will be going back to doing what he does best. Coaching wide receivers.Originally Posted by Bretsky
So I"m not the only one who saw Bennett as a subpar average OC (he did great as the WR coach iMO)
So we should be praising MM for these moves IMO

Only if they work. Probably should have brought in Tom Coughlin (but only when he wins).

Give him far less room on offense than defense. He should know how the OC is doing very quickly. Went for 3 years. Not as bad as sticking with poor defensive results, but still. He's loyal.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
The proof was in the puddin. Without Rodgers the offense was exposed as practically useless. Not sure how much stronger of an indictment you need against an "OC" than an offense that fell apart: couldn't communicate, operate, or produce. Time for Edgar to make his own way and stop sucking off Rodger's tit.

Happened in 2013 too. Clements got sacked after the next season I believe.
I think the problem runs deeper than the OC.

I agree, but I don't think it's a problem - except when Rodgers gets hurt long-term.
Several have argued that the problem is the offense is tuned to Rodger's special talents. That's good - it should be. What needs to happen is better preparation for Rodgers to be hurt or gone. Clearly Stubby threw people under the bus for not being prepared. Well, he's the next to go under if this ever happens again. Well, maybe Murphy goes first, but it doesn't matter - if things are so bad that Murphy doesn't survive, neither will Stubby. So they better solve the Rodgers-less problem. Question is - can they do it without restructuring the Rodgers-led offensive scheme itself, or does the whole thing need an overhaul? I think the latter - Stubby needs to recraft the offense this offseason. Bring in a solid backup vet and rework the whole thing so it works for Rodgers and the vet.

Well, we can all say that, but a coach rising through the ranks to the position of offensive coordinator had a chance to show he could coordinate an offense, not just rely on the superstar QB. Edgar didn’t do that. Thus his departure with little hand wringing. A true candidate for the next level would have distinguished himself, not shit himself.

Fixed it for you.
