Hypothetical Next Coach of the Green Bay Packers

[mraynrand]

Not sure he is going to mesh with an other-worldly talented QB.

Rodgers is at the point where he's beyond coach-level QB smart. He's a super-intelligence and knows as much or more than anyone around him. So to 'take coaching' from others is only to admit that others have a perspective you can't have (literally, as being in the box with all 22 during the game or figuratively just having a unique POV). It's tough on everyone, especially if the QB is a prima donna - like Peyton Manning at least some of the time. Has Rodgers come to that point where, like Charlie in 'Flowers for Algernon,' or Gary Mitchell in that Esper Star Trek episode, he's passed by the ignorant dummies around him, has become god-like, and sees everything on a deeper level, and can no longer brook their incompetencies? Not Hairball, not anyone else could manage Rodgers at this point. He probably needs to be destroyed before he becomes a threat to the galaxy.

Or he will regress and end up a babbling two-year-old, unable to distinguish between offense and defense, getting peewee league advice from a kindly white-haired gentleman.

Aaron Rodgers demonstrates the proper method for catching one of his 85 yard passes:

[mraynrand]

David Shaw - Hard to argue with the consistent results and smash mouth style he plays with. It's easy to see why Stanford was Stanford under Harbaugh because of the name, but Shaw sustaining that success is pretty incredible. Harbaugh hasn't been at Stanford since what, 2010ish now? That's a long ass time of consistent success.

Stanford has a tremendous coaching legacy going back to Denny Green, Bill Walsh, Pop Warner and even Walter Camp. Shaw is a great leader of men, but I'm not sure he's all that innovative. Who cares? He knows how to line the guys up and win. The only question now is whether Stubby takes the scenic route up 41 and through the UP or through Chicago on his way to Cleveland next year.

If not J-MAC; if not an Asian coach (Asians are good at math, so bring in the analytics!); if not a Turkish coach (Turks are good at warfare, so bring in the Genghis Khan attack!; then why not MIKE MARTZ?

Great Arm of Butte is clearly a Martz QB. Rodgers likes to drop back and hold the ball longer than it takes Bob Dole to play a round of golf. Martz made something out of Warner and Bulger. A-Rod has way more fucking Kung fu than the two of them.

Mike Martz could make the Packers great again.

I would prefer Peter Lorre.

i'd prefer peter faulk.

The issue with Harbaugh is he appears to wear out his welcome after a while. Let him stay at Michigan.

Exactly

I have zero interest in harbaugh

[Bretsky]

I don't understand the love for Harbaugh. What exactly has he won?

He just seems to keep winning

He did well in SF and is considered to be a good offensive mind.

He did well at Stanford

And he's turning the schmuck Wolverines around as well

[Bretsky]

What good is a NE coach without the cheat's library?

You are jealous of their success

I am too

he doesn't exactly ever have much of a passing attack though, does he?

be kinda stupid to bring in a ginder HC when we have a-rod.

something between where we are now and harbaughs boring grinding offense would be nice

All I know is that it won't end well for the girl in his life. They lost Yeoman Rand (got her back I think in her nightie?) and the blonde Doctor bit the dust wearing him out with lightning bolts.

If they could reteach Uhura, they can reteach Rodgers.

i'd prefer peter faulk.

I'd prefer Kevin Faulk.

Unlike J-Mac who forgot to ask how the super secret scouting reports were prepared, Kevin was probably smart enough to notice.

Rodgers might be more like Nomad. We just need to feed him the data that touchdown to checkdown isn't as effective as it needs to be and he'll accept coaching from another professor.

Who the F is Nomad? Rodgers is a Martzist through and through. You know, likes to hold the ball forever and stuff.
