Spinning, Spinning, Spinning: Ted's the Scapegoat, Mike's the Tough Guy in Charge

[pbmax]

I've said stubby is over rated for awhile now. So I won't go into it. I did hear that GB is having trouble getting outside people to come in and even interview for the GM job. Perhaps that is because no one wants to be handcuffed with stubby.

3 requests were turned down by team; Lions and Austin (under contract), Vikes and Paton (playoffs under way), and Schneider in Seattle (under contract). Only disappointing one was Reggie Mckenzie turning down chance to interview because he apparently will still get to be GM, though I don't expect that to last long unless Reggie is prepared to hand over reigns to Gruden.

Fangio is a FA next Tuesday.

Fritz:

That Opening Post is the kind I like with so many 'blind as bats' Packerrats, not ever seeing the Forest for the Trees.

This Opening Thread Post covers the MESS that's become the Green Bay Packers. Written in what I'll deem a pseudo 'Tankish Style'. Good Stuff Fritz.

I disagree that bats are bland. They are a vibrant and fascinating mammal.

My radar tastes just fine thank you!

I also don't quite understand why Murphy cannot see the similarities to other situations in which someone like, say, Martha Ford, really likes a coach, like, say, Jim Caldwell, so when she hires a new GM, one of the conditions is that she'd, you know, rather not see Caldwell fired. So the GM's hands are tied, especially when the guy goes 9 - 7 in Detroit (that's like 11 - 5 in Green Bay). Then he has to give the guy an extension, only to see the Leos limp to an 8 - 8 record despite Stafford being healthy for all sixteen games, and then he has to can Caldwell and start again.

If you're going to start over, then start over. The only way I can understand how Murphy is doing things in such a half-assed way is if he talked to Aaron Rodgers and heard from him that McCarthy really, really ought to stay - that Aaron didn't want to start over with a new coach.

Even then, it's a bit hard to understand. If Rodgers really does intend to play for another five or six years, he ought to know MM won't be around that long, and that now's the time for a new start.

Comments woodbuck27:

On A) Mike MCCarthy and B) Aaron Rodgers and any influence by one of them or both on Mark Murphy and his choice for the new Packer GM:

A) * With the absolute all over the Map paranoia *, that Packer ' still HC ' Mike McCarthy has demonstrated.

With every head scratching move MM makes, and the ** dismissing ** of members of his Coaching staff. The obvious backstabbing 'my skin is first', always comes first, bad rep handle Mike McCarthy deserves, and will in all likelihood forever now, have to live with as that spreads around the NFL.

* MM isn't in the play and having much influence on Packer President and CEO Mark Murphy's hunt and difficult selection of the new Packer GM. I mean really, what Man in his right mind would seriously ask MM for advice and not risk his spittal all over your face.

** the polite choice of words... and for clear honesty, substitute absolute TRUTH and the words " throwing under the bus " .

Is Aaron Rodgers in the play and Mark Murphy's decision?

Should he or Mike McCarthy be meddling in this very important decision? If I was Mark Murphy I'd listen to them without much comment and at the same time feel sorry for his or their desperation. Trying to exert influence is clearly meddling in an area that neither is qualified to meddle in.

Is anyone so far learning that Mark Murphy is actually in a PANIC state and his hunt for the next Packer GM? I'm not reading anything like that. I'm reading a whole lot of stuff.

So far the only error has been NOT Firing Mike McCarthy and especially so as he continues to embarrass himself and the good reputation of the Green Bay Packers Organization.

Errors:

The first order of business had to be to ASAP to get the very best MAN installed as the new Packer GM. Mark Murphy needed to place everything else on a temporary R.E.L.A.X. mode.

MM had to be handcuffed and making any decision to restore his own egocentric comfort zone. Get that 'Fit...Fit...Fit...unfit overweight and stressed out lump of a man and his wife (NO..she likely needs a break all by herself), on a plane to some Health Resort in Arizona.

As a minimum precaution and Mike McCarthy.... Don't the Packer Medical People have 'a PILL they can give him to calm him the 'H' down? That poor fella is going to explode !



Isn't Aaron Rodgers (as rumoured) too busy dating Danica Patrick and having a good time; to get involved in this total Packer Canadian Satire Comedy Material Sideshow Mess. Right now, I'm imagining the good and hopeful comedy people from 'Saturday Night LIVE; dreaming that they could work up a skit and what's going on and the future...' THE FUTURE TODAY !! May GOD Help Us All ', of the Green Bay Packers.

Name another flying mammal. See, bats are awesome. And around here, they eat their weight in mosquitos daily. That alone makes them awesome.

They always have scarred the shit out of me....flying mice essentially.

I find it fascinating how so many Packerrats are 'bang on' and seeing typos and being Spelling Nazi's; yet can't (again) see 'the forest for the trees', and all things correct and Packer Nation moving forward.

You know .......... 'the right fit'.

Right ... bats are hardly 'bland' their unfortunately simply becoming, where I come from, too 'rare'.

Dom Capers was the reason the d is bad. There is talent on the D. You watch next year we are top 10 in defense and Super Bowl winners.

Tony, I wouldn't ever call anybody an idiot that I agree with so much in political threads, but you are dead wrong in what you say here.

The reason for shaky defense OF COURSE was piss poor personnel, courtesy of Ted Thompson. Capers mitigated that situation to a great extent with his schemes, trickery, and compensation. Sometimes, the quality of personnel problem was just too much to compensate for, though.

I just hope whoever comes next is of a similar mindset and almost as good a D Corrdinator as Capers.

The problem, of course, is when young and inexperienced players can't or won't execute Capers' "schemes, trickery and compensation" on Sunday afternoon. How about a DC who believes in KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid)?

Well, hopefully all that will change with a new DC. It can't get much worse...
