Blind Faith: Is this TT's last year at GM?

[mission]

I had a hard time following that last little blip there Snake, but I hope that means you're going to the posters' game and that we will be getting into trouble. Hopefully without the help of law enforcement or BJ Raji.

Snake doesn't like to say anything to insinuate or call for law enforcement. But, alas, if Snake makes it to that game. All bets are off, and Snake and Mission will be getting wasted one way or the other. Lots of wasting and hot ass bar skanks hopefully.... So hopefully a BJ is involved, just not as a player or on your behalf LOL. If Snake goes....P.A.R.T.Y.

HAHAHHA dude you crack me up.. sounds good you can crash on our hotel floor if it helps out. Hopefully you wont have to step over too many thrown-off-the-bed expired bar skanks. In the meantime, this vike has me sleeeeeepy... IM OUT!

So back to topic...does anyone think TT is on the chopping block....Snake made this topic in mind BEFORE the draft....with fixing so MANY holes on D with an excellent draft....it's hard to see EVEN IF we fail in 2009 (and doubt that). He's safe cuz our cap is great, and our draft really fixed some shit. If anything MM gets the shaft for Holmy or a name coach next year if we go to shit in 2009. TT is safe no matter what now.

TT stays unless the Packers win 4 games or less. He stays this year and next if they are competitive but miss the playoffs. Three more years without the playoffs, he will be replaced. He might be able to last longer if he purges Stubby, but I doubt it. TT is like the anti-Fisher. Fisher stays alive in part by being the best buddy the press ever had. They love him in TN, but even he needs to be reasonably and consistently successful, even if he doesn't win it all.

Good post Mraynrand, and Snake agrees, as this may all be Kool-Aid in the Spring for all we know. I like the draft/moves to make us better (on paper) but are you serious about the bolded statement? Really? Only 3, eh? Wow. I say one maybe 2, unless the bottom falls out...That would mean we'd missed the playoffs in 7 out of 8 years...Hopefully something happens before that.

I'm sure that Thompson's job is safe. Not that I feel that it should be. Murphy is going to stick with Thompson for as long as he can, or until his own job is on the line, due to Thompson's inability to improve the team.

Hiring Capers was brilliant in my opinion. Rumor was that they had wanted Nolen first, but I think having Capers running our Defense will improve the team Immensly. I'm looking forward to seeing a plain jane version of it in the pre-season, and really looking forward to seeing some actual blitzing of opposing QB's in the regular season AND in the Playoffs!

Now, if things go bad this year for whatever reason.....then long before Thompson's job is on the line, Mike McCaurthy will take the fall......shit will always roll down hill when If that happens, Thompson will get at the very least, a couple more years of reprieve. During wich time, Capers would most likely be given the Head Coach position and allowed to hire an Offensive Co-ordinator of his choice.

I can list at least a dozen things off the top of my head that I would like to see Thompson canned for. Simple fact of the matter though, is that he is doing exactly what he was hired to do. It is unpopular, and that is probably a good reason why Harlan left and that Murphy is now the Club President. It was rebuilding time, and rebuilding is not a fun thing to be assosiated with in any way.

As far as the "Fans" having any say....... face it, most "Fans", probably cannot even name more than 5 players on the team off the top of their heads. Hell, most "Fans", do not even know who Thompson or Murphy or even MM are. The real fans of the Packers, are the kind of people that spend time in forums like this one, discussing the Packers top to bottom, day after day after day. Some of our opinions are not very popular.......but what would you expect when you take into consideration where the meaning of the word "fan" comes from.

Long story short, for the "fans" of Thompson and his way of doing things......... Thompson is here to stay for a while, like it or not.

All true. Though, I'd imagine most fans don't especially want to see TT canned. Especially after what has all transpired after the past several months. Even before this offseason, but especially at this point, I take away nothing but positives. He's made some fantastic decisions lately IMO.

Snake agrees Gunakor, and good post PackerBlues, but the Kool-Aid will wear off in a few months if we don't win this year...Yes, MM will take the fall, and I like BTT (Big Time Teddy) as this topic was started way before the draft, but regardless it's a results driven league. Win or out.

It was a big risk going to 3-4 with Dom, but PB may be onto something. Was Dom given the D-Cood. position with the thought that if it flops this year, Dom will displace MM and TT is given a pass with a "new 3-4 scheme and growing pains" as an excuse? Pretty crafty shit Teddy, as they would now have to go 3-13 for Ted to take a fall, as he's safe for awhile no matter what. I can't see a scenario where Ted is fired this year for sure, but if you miss the playoffs for next 2 years out ya go. But Snake also thinks Mark and Ted seem pretty tight as Mark is really calling the shots. Either way, a big year, and MM has got to be sweating his nuts off that we make the playoffs this year. HUGE expectations not only for us Rats, but Packer Nation in general. We are used to the playoffs after the Brett era.

After the draft it's all Kool-Aid yes, but thinking of renaming this Thread:

Blind Faith: Is this MM's last year as Head Coach?

Sounds more likely than Ted's last year at least. Dom will be our 2010 coach if we fail this year.

I highly doubt it. Dom was brought in for the defense. I'd hate to see what could happen to this offense if left in the hands of a defensive guy.

Furthermore, MM was brought in originally because of his expertise in developing quarterbacks. With all of the young quarterbacks on our roster right now, I don't see MM going anywhere any time soon.
