How is MM doing? Your thoughts

[sharpe1027]

If they win the Division by going 5-0 to finish at 10-6, which they certainly are capable of doing, he can have the job in GB as long as he wants it as far as I am concerned !

Yeah, that would give him 2-3 years amnesty for me.

Honestly, 9-7 might win their division, 8-8 is even possible.

just when i think he's finally got it he pulls a fast one like sunday. running so much zone defense was a terrible decision. wonder what he's got up his sleeve this week?

More and more writers and fans are starting to place the blame with MM, I disagree he is at least an average coach and when you look at some of the bozos like the one to our West we could do a lot worse. On the flip side a bad GM can do a lot more long term damage than a coach. Some here think Favre threw the organization under the bus, what if TT throws MM under the bus to save his own ass? Ultimately he puts the product on the field and has failed so far 50% of the time.

How do you guys feel MM is doing in his 3rd year on the job? I've got to say I'm awfully dissapointed to the point where I don't he's the long term answer.

If I'm not mistaken, you're also the guy who wants to fire Biliemma.

Out of the mouths of babes comes .... they say "wisdom", but really its just babble.

TT is responsibile for the MM hire. The only thing that will sink or save TT is the Packer's record.

If TT fires MM and they win, TT is fine. If TT keeps MM an they win, TT is fine. If TT fires MM and they lose, TT is in trouble. If TT keeps MM and they lose, TT is in trouble.

Their have been some questionable decisions all season long, and I feel like our offensive schemes don't match the identity of our team.

What do you think?

I think things are not so bad.

I was born during the Bartt Starr coaching era and became conscious of first watching the Pack during the end of that era. Doubtless I was thoroughly indoctrinated before my first memories surface. Those were some lean, lean times my friend. I had a "prized" Randy Wright rookie card and I thought that was just great. I really thought it couldn't get any better than Majkowski to Sharpe.

Surely, there was much savor to be had in those 90's and we as fans really got spoiled. Especially in the latter part of the decade. If you came to be a fan through birth or choice at this time, you don't know how good you have had it.

Hell, Holmy went 9-7 for 3 years in the early 90s before that team really got built up and took off. I'm sure you would have called for Holmgren's head after they lost to the Lions by a figgie in '94 to drop to 6-7, saying they wouldn't ever get better, blah, blah, blah.

Things are not so bad now. I see a GM and a young coach trying to build a solid foundation and culture for another run of success. The team this year has sustained pretty heavy injuries on D and has still been able to go 5-6 to this point. That's not too bad--not a Belichick job of damage control--but not bad. I'm really willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I'm with BallHawk in that MM will have to put up a couple losing seasons in a row before we even begin to talk about canning him.

What the hell are these heavy injuries everyone talks about, Jenkins=hurt,Bigby=Rouse,Harrell=shit,KGB=TT knew going in so blame that on TT,Barnett=probably not any better than anyone else we got filling in he is a big soft pussy. So the way I see it they lost one guy hardly a reason for excuses. Oh ya and Al=Tramon which was a plesant surprise though we are better now at the nickel with Al back.

considering how inconsistant the team has been, it would be all to easy to push the blame on M3. After every game, he throws his players under the bus. He never takes the blame on himself, its never poor coaching. I have to wonder how much he regrets helping to push Favre out the door now. The team is becoming pathetic.

Fire M3 and Thompson!

He did throw the players under the bus a few times and I thought he came off as a dick for it. But after the Saints loss he made some remarks that the coaching staff needed to step up and connect their marvelous practice sessions to what happens on game day.

Saints postgame presser

(You have talked about how you like this team's work ethic and attitude. Have you been able to pinpoint what is holding this team back?)
That's part of what I spoke on today. It's not 'you did this and you didn't do that.' It starts with the head coach. My job is to connect all the dots. Connect the dots from practice, preparation throughout the week and make sure it carries over to the game.

I think MM is a good coach... but will never win a championship with the schemes they run, and TT's revolving door of draft picks.

Actually, to me, it seems like an odd fit for MM... he seems like a tough guy, but runs a finesse offensive scheme, and a passive defensive scheme... hate em both.

Still, I think he's a good coach.
