JSO's Hatchet Job on McCarthy

[pbmax]

And that second one doubles the problem of trying to figure out when the team is leaking, which is usually more significant, as we saw this summer to Glazer.

Wasn't Glazer the guy who broke just about everythign team related all summer? I have a hard time faulting a guy who was spot on or at least damn near.

Yep, and I don't want him to stop. My point is when a reporter moves from referring to his source as someone who is clearly NOT on the team ("an NFL source close to the situation/player") to a description that could mean anything ("with knowledge of the team's thinking"), then its harder to judge which side of the fence the source is sitting. The source gains anonymity, we lose clarity.

JSO know as much as this board.

I dunno. I think sometimes this board knows more. Think Vince, PB, Patler, KYPack, BadgerinMaine, Oregon, JH, Lurker, Gunakor, CPK, sometimes Partial, Zool, Mad, etc. etc.

This is why I come to the board. I seldom post...I have little more than the average fans knowledge. However, there are a LOT of knowledgeable posters on this board. I feel - when the differing views expressed are civil - I learn a lot about the pros and cons of a particular subject.

I agree Atl, I learn more here about the Packers than from the newspapers. I think M3 has an interest in an assistant of a playoff team (Eagles?), we'll see. I can't blame Williams for taking New Orleans over GB, it's -45 below wind chill here! Duh! I'm sure there are lots of quality coaches who would love the GB job, and if it's Moss I'd be ok with that, I believe in promoting from within.

One other point I was reminded of today about Mr. McGinn. Assessing Thompson's offseason on JSOnline, McGinn listed three goals:

One week after the Giants loss, it was written here that Thompson's off-season agenda contained three major items: what to do about Favre, defensive coordinator Bob Sanders and the zone run game.

Apparently in 2008, McGinn thought Sanders had to go. Now, he was middle of the road and married to a single system no matter how ill fitted to the healthy players he had, but like Holmgren, M3 should have coached the coach.

I wonder if Bob stopped to look at the defensive coaches Holmgren went through in Seattle?

Just to add one bit of speculation, people seem to forget that Kampman slimmed down and changed his game to play the Bates system. I don't think he would have any problem tacking on 25 pounds and playind end in a 3-4. He might not be quite as effective, but a guy like him who has played at both weights can adapt and be a good asset.

Mr McGinn (and me I might add) were not Vanilla Bob fans after 2007. He saved his job those last four weeks playing poor teams.

He did like Holmy's coaches in GB
