    IT's not too hard to guess what happened. Van Pelt wanted to be an OC, so he let the Packers know he was going to let his contract expire. Rodgers and everyone else knew this. Probably Van Pelt and maybe Rodgers had some expectation that Van Pelt would be hired by the Packers as OC (or at least interview) at some point. When Bennett was let go, and Van Pelt wasn't interviewed, that was the end of the relationship. I note that Van Pelt didn't get hired as OC by anyone, so make of that what you will. Packers probably should have told Rodgers, but I'm guessing he'd be disappointed for (what looks like) his friend in any case, unless they'd hired him as OC. But Packers and Van Pelt letting the contract expire (assume this was mutual) meant that he either got a promotion or he's gone. Rodgers will get over it. He should be smart enough to have seen the writing on the wall - He can't be naive enough to think that Van Pelt would stay without being promoted. Why would they need to talk to Rodgers and explain anything if Rodgers knew Van Pelt's contract wasn't being renewed? Maybe, like Favre, his best friend as he gets to be the oldest guy on the team will be some equipment guy.
    I suspect getting Philbin back will soften any misgivings #12 has about losing Van Pelt.

    Watch this interview of AR on the Dan Patrick show especially near the end.

      You're grasping at straws Rut. Im all about criticism, but comparing Aaron to BF or TO is laughable. Criticism actually has to be warranted for it to work. Otherwise you look silly. Silly! Silly! The arrogant label works, bc its true.

      This doesn't mean he won't become a Diva in later years. Especially if more and more grievances like this occur. But this one comment doesnt do it.

          I like how Rodgers talked abut changing that catch rule on the sideline and end zone. I think that's the right way to go.

            What's that expression? It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you? Well, it's not "diva" if you really did get left out of the discussion and should have been consulted. Just the same, it really didn't seem like he made a big deal about it - just responding to a "stir up trouble" type question from some media asshole.
            What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

              Does he have his own locker room yet? What is his stance on Crocs?

                You always edit the Crocs out of your dic pic.
                Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                  That's just in my view common sense. The Packer Defense sucks.

                  That bottom NFL Tier defense places, over the TOP too much pressure, on the Aaron Rodgers led 'O'.

                  Comment: All the stuff on Aaron Rodgers former QB's Coach Alex Van Pelt leaving the Packers to secure a promotion; and 'in fact' not getting one as he signed as the Bengals QB Coach. Leaves it open to some speculation and why MM actually allowed Alex Van Pelt to leave?

                  I feel MM used former QB's Coach Van Pelt as a Scapegoat and how Backup QB Brett Hundley didn't perform reliably. That was typical Mike McCarthy and wringing his hands of responsibility.

                  I addition:

                  Mike McCarthy made other Coaching FIRES that made little sense i.e. Assistant Linebacker Coach Scott McCurley and his DL Coach Mike Trgovac when they were two of Packer HC Mike McCarthy's strongest position coaches in 2017.

                  " The Packers hired Giants assistant Frank Cignetti Jr. as their new quarterbacks coach."
                  Article and as it transpired.

                  Comment:
                  I consider that a weak hire. Hiring someone because you've known him for 3 decades doesn't translate as 'he's the best man for the job'.
                  Well said, WB.

                    I was Favre's biggest fan not named Nutz, but as time passed, I've grown fond of A-Rod. Love his game. Love where he stands FYI-wise. Love the fact that the beautiful and just Daenerys Targaryen is his favorite Game of Thrones character, although mine's Tyrion Lannister.

                    Is the Great Arm of Butte a diva? Fuck nah, imhso.

                          Once he starts talking in circles, then we can clearly see that.

                            Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

                            Should Rodgers get consulted on coaching staff changes? Do they ask Ty Montgomery if he'd prefer to work with RB coach A or B? Aaron's feelings are hurt because they didn't ask his opinion, but Aaron has thin skin. This particular consult, while it could conceivably happen, is not part of the professional code and he's not entitled to it.

                                I agree. Yet I still can't imagine that Rodgers didn't see this coming - or at least know there was a pretty good chance Van Pelt would be gone.

                                Actually, if you want to prevent more diva behavior, not telling him is probably the right call.
