Yea, I've been doing a little reading. I like the fact that he survived 3 HC and 3 DC in Denver and he is the guy they don't want to let go. I don't think much of Vance Joseph as a coach, but it sounds like he latched onto this kid as the voice he listens to. Usually guys like Joseph survive by recognizing who is smarter than they are and utilizing that. I'm almost hoping he is the guy now that I have done some research on him this morning.Originally Posted by RashanGary
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
Or their could be a ton of other reasons. But this is an issue for FYI, not for here. Bottom line is that some guys relate to players and some don't. Does Parker, who never played relate better than Leonhard who toiled for a decade? I have found that if what you say is smart, thought out and intelligent than the audience appreciates it....regardless of the audience. (yes, I realize that isn't always what I do.)

Leonhard may not be considering a jump to the NFL. With all the coordinator and position coach jobs available, someone with his experience would at least be able to garner interviews and likely be hired somewhere.
Since it has been largely silent, he must not be interested. There are way too many jobs for his name not to come up.
Or maybe after he turned down the Packers DC job, NFL teams questioned the level of his desire to coach in the NFL. Maybe nobody wants him.

And leave it all behind
I've…been one to walk alone
I've always been scared to try
So why does it feel so wrong
To reach for something more
To wanna live a better life
What am I waiting for?

Oh wait, you’re talking bout Leonhard, not some 41 year old burger flipping loser.
I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.
Leonhard is 41. Maybe he's flipping burgers for Bret Bielema.

I am in the exact opposite camp. I'm tired of retreads, of guys running defenses that worked ten years ago but don't any more. The Packers need someone who can mix-and-match, adjust on the fly, zone and man, know when to blitz and when not to, understand that offenses have evolved and players play at a much higher level on offense than they did fifteen or twenty years ago. QB's dont' make the kinds of mistakes they made twenty years ago, at least not as often. The bend-but-don't-break don't work no more.
Besides, Bretsky, you used to drool if the Packers were interested in anyone the Patriots had interviewed. You thought the Patriots walked on water. And the Pats interviewed this guy.
I do think offenses perform at a higher, more consistent level than they did twenty years ago. You can't wait around for them to make a mistake by letting them slow-walk it (or in Barry's case fast-walk it) down the field.
As for the "hating-50-year-old-white-guys" thing, once you hit sixty, you're like everybody's grandpa and it's all good. So maybe hiring Rex Ryan could work out, too. But I'd like the young buck.
Man, I am fired up for a young guy. Besides, the Flower seems to do better hiring young, unproven guys (Stenavich) than retreads (Barry). So let's go big and let the kid do it. Warby Parker it is, baby! Hire that guy!

Staley is a strange case. He was made a HC in his 5th year in the NFL. Not sure if he was overrated, or if he is a talented guy who was promoted too quickly.

Either way, no thank to him. Go big - The Floer’s best hires have been young, mostly unproven guys.

so whats the over under on how many years parker is here if we hire him, and if he's good
my guess is if him or any other young DCs turns out to be the next big thing, you're only gonna have him for maybe 2 years before someone hires him to be a HC
one of the downsides of hiring young unproven guys. with some of the other older guys, theyve had their chances at HCing and blew it, so no one is gonna come and take them away
Good point. Best case we have an elite defense and in three years he’s the best young HC candidate in the NfL. Kind of takes the luster of that best case scenario we’re all getting fired up about.

If the new DC does his job well enough that he gets HC job, I think Packers will win an Owl. I'll take it.

Exactly this.
I like the Ravens guy, but I honestly have no strong preference.
The Ravens’ defense held up really well against the Queefs, even though the D was out on the field forever because Lamar Jackson was pooping his pants in another big game. And their offensive coordinator forgot that a running back can carry the ball sometimes, too.

That was shocking to me too, especially considering how he ran his O's at Georgia.
Lamar should have been running the ball. He could get 5 yards every drop back if he wanted it. But he has to prove he’s a passer and now he’s at home like the rest of us.

Probably going to hear about some more interviews today. Maybe the Baltimore guys. Maybe Chris Harris, who MLF interviewed for DC in 2021.

Chris Harris: Yeah, not our first interview together, Matty. How'd that work out for you, not picking me in '21?
LeFleur: NEXT!

interesting hearing Wilde and Tausch today; I listed to the 10AM portion where they hit on DC's.
Tausch now wants GB to hire Rex Ryan and Jimmy Jimmy
Wilde still wants Evero and also thinks MFL wants him as well but he might not be available
Both noted while they said GB might hire Parker, there were no credible sources who actually was reporting he was the guy. Also noted none of the Green Bay Packer writers who have people inside the building as sources....thought there was any crediblity to the idea GB offered him.
Both noted he still might be the hire, BUT .....neither believed he's been offered the job and both think Flower wants to chat with a lot of guys
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 ?
