Official 2015 Fire Slocum! Thread

Taking into account MM's brother having passed, the timing of any assistant coaching change might be thrown off. I'm really hoping that they are doing their due diligence and tkaing a hard look at whether we can win with the present state of special teams. Nobody is saying the players are not somewhat culpable for the results on the field, but the coordinator has to be able to get the results needed from the players, and that's just not happening. Please MM, do not continue your blind loyalty to Slocum, no matter whether he is your buddy or not. Hopefully TT can talk to MM and convince him that it's time to shore up this important 1/3 of the team, especially when some good assistants are now out there and being picked up fast. Standing pat would be a mistake.

Those towns are 210 miles apart. That's like saying residents of Madison, WI and St. Paul Minnesota share roots. Possible, but you really don't know anything.

Not to mention the 12 year difference in their ages.

Simply a small point pbmax....not damning !

Some fans want to point to a small common connection for Mike McCarthy and Shawn Slocum from early in their coaching careers. That's IMO smaller than hailing from TEXAS.

TT and Shawn Slocum: Roots... common roots: TEXAS and again...NOT DAMNING.



The bigger picture:

What this will come down to in this off season is intent described by action and nothing else.

Packer Nation deserves to see change. It's got to happen NOW not two-three seasons from now.

I do understand Ted Thompson's Brides Maid mentality but for the vast majority of Packer Nation hopefully that doesn't wash.
