If anything short of winning the superbowl is reason to let the coach go, just let the coach go. The very best teams pay like 6:1 on superbowl futures at this point. The odds of winning a superbowl are long for everyone but the Packers have higher odds than most. Far more of this game than we tend to be comfortable with is just plain luck and not the kind you make for yourself.

I can imagine a losing record where MM deserves an extension and I can imagine winning in spite of him. My feeling is that our best odds of a SB in the Rodgers era is with MM at the wheel.
