Hypothetical Next Coach of the Green Bay Packers

[texaspackerbacker]

Riley's rep as an offensive genius is predicated on having "the best O Line in college football". He will suffer acute shock and depression if he comes to the Packers and tries to coach with the bunch we have.

Nick Saban coaching…the Green Bay Packers?
@jjones9 on why it’s not as crazy as you may think

I could be talked into this more easily than Josh Fails Upward McDaniels.

me too - especially if he can get us 6 first and second round picks every year.

I suspect if Saban would return to the NFL, he might want to be the personnel guy though. Seems like a longshot.

It will not be Bruce Arians according to Zach Gelb retweeted by Jason Laconfora and there is apparently audio.

He only wants Browns job.

As long as their first name isn’t mike. Let’s get a little original.

Last four coaches were 3 Mike s and one Ray.

We could handle one more Mike, but I don't who he is.

SERIOUSLY....I WONDER which job in more attractive....CLEVELAND or GREEN BAY

Dan Patrick thinks Cleveland. Possible young franchise QB, plenty of talent on D, and incredibly high upside with stable management.

I vote Uncle Rico...who better to show Prissy Erin how to get his mojo back....

If you go to Cleveland and win 7 games, they will throw you a parade. Go to GB and win 9, you will have one foot out the door.

No wonder Bruce Arians said he would only coach in Cleveland. We wouldn't want that retread anyway.

I forgot about Josh McDaniels. I'd happily take him assuming everything checks out with the whole bailing-on-the-colts thing.

He's the guy who seems to re design the offense there every year and it seems to work. he's hands down, "on paper" the most qualified candidate for the job

Unstable ownership.

More qualified than Nick Saban?

EDIT: Urban Meyer? Jim Harb.......

{couldn't get the last one out}

I think not.

#don't really want any of them

Is Urban Meyer retiring just a coincidence?

[pbmax]

On Michael Cohen's podcast, he had Ben Fennel on, the film breakdown dude from NFLN and the Athletic.

Fennell said the following about Pettine:

1. Scheme is very similar to Capers
2. Communication in backend with very young players has been very good compared to year's past
3. Blitz packages are multiple, but on 3rd and long its predictable
4. Overall impressed and thinks he should get to continue
5. Clark is a monster
6. Daniels having bad season (injury?) and pass rush numbers are up because 3rd down reps are up. He's not more effective this year.
7. Neither DT is much of a natural pass rusher
8. Martinez is terrible in coverage, great going forward (that is three players who fit this description now including Josh Jackson and Josh Jones)
9. Burks might be able to cover but he cannot get off blocks

SABAN; wouldn't hate the hire, but I would not embrace it either. He's the king of college but failed in the NFL. And most feel AROD needs somebody who is an offensive guru who is ahead of the curve with innovation.

MEYER; besides being a heartless asshole I would not want him as an NFL Coach. I'd take other college coaches over Meyer, such as the mighty Lincoln and even the Stanford coach

HARBAUGH; I've said many times I'd have no issues with his hiring. Everybody hates him except the teams he coaches. I'd take him over Saban and Meyer for sure. And a Packer beat writer who went on ESPN 1070 noted people some at Lambeau really like Jimmmy

HG2; he's probably the most qualified coach to come to Green Bay if they are looking for that innovative offensive guru with all around experience. I'd be excited with HG2.

I haven't decided if he's my number one choice but he's one of a handful that IMO would be great hires for the Green Bay Packers. I too like the idea of the might Lincoln.
