Hypothetical Next Coach of the Green Bay Packers

[texaspackerbacker]

Are you guys talking about that guy who used to be the Vikings head coach? (Tice)

Nope. The ear biter.

[Bretsky]

Lol, I love that tune.

Was it Bretsky that wanted DeFilipo? Hell, you can hire him this afternoon now if you want....

HG2 is the chosen one

I also liked DeFillipo; partly because I wanted to hurt the Vikings. Now that he is gone I find him less attractive

Jiminy Christmas

[Pugger]

Is that true? Or are you trying some Aynrand-style sarcasm?

Yes, he was fired. I just wondered if he was a better QB coach than OC. If he flamed out in MN as OC I don't want him in GB as a HC.

[Pugger]

i don't really care who they get. there isn't another SB in GB's future until they get another good starting QB, on a rookie contract, and have the time and money to put a team around him, anyway. if they can get a college hot-shot, who can outlast Rodgers, that would be cool.

Do you believe Rodgers is washed up?

Packers will not use a search firm to hunt for a head coach. So maybe Gute is running this show?

From PFT: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...-outside-help/

A league source tells PFT that the Packers will handle the search on their own, with no outside search firm. But they nevertheless will cast a very wide net, looking at a broad variety of candidates to succeed Mike McCarthy.

December will entail reaching out to college coaches, along with pro coaches who currently aren’t attached to a team. After the regular season ends, the Packers will begin talking to assistant coaches currently with other teams.

The Packers also aren’t ruling out the possibility of trying to hire a current head coach from another team. John Harbaugh could be a possibility, if that’s the approach the Packers take.

Do you believe Rodgers is washed up?

no. he's not worth what he's being paid anymore but he's got a few left. it's just his prima donna factor (10/10), age, and his cap hit.

Listened to an extended interview today about a beat guy who covers the Vikings. Had good things to say about the Vikings OC and it was his opinion he has a brilliant offensive mind.

Noted him and Zimmer did not get along at all and its been known for a while. Zimmer wants to run a Bill Parcells like run and Grind it out offense.

When asked about that some feel that the Vikings OC is one of the most qualified candidates to be a head coach next year and if he thought the OC was doing much of what he did to promote himself to the NFL instead of what his head coach wanted.....he simply stated.....yup...that is what many feel.

So Zimmer, who could get canned himself if the Queenies don't make the playoffs, fired a guy he could not co exist with.

Does that alter my view of him ? Not at all.


With all that being said, I'd like to give the house to either Mr Lincoln or HG2

But would I eliminate his credentials because he didn't get along with Zimmer ? Not at all

Frankly, I thought Flip did not do a good job as OC in Minnesota. I don't believe he tailored his offense to the personnel that they had. His boss essentially told him what he wanted and he did not do what his boss asked for. Zimmer knew best what worked with this team as last year the blueprint was set on how to succeed there. Flip decided he wanted to do something else and that got him canned. It's kind of simple, do what your boss tells you to do and make the best of it, even if you may not agree with it. I think that Flip just wanted to prove he was smarter than Zim, and it turns out he wasn't.

Who the frick is it going to be?
Riley, McDaniels???

[run pMc]

Chris Peterson? No idea. I am highly skeptical of college coaches who jump to the NFL. Retreads don't thrill me either.
Which pretty much leaves an assistant on someone's staff...and the names floating there are meh to me. Then again, I think I went "who?" to all of GB's HC hires over the years.

[pbmax]

Would love Peterson as OC.
