Hypothetical Next Coach of the Green Bay Packers

[texaspackerbacker]

I don't really like any of these guys or anybody else mentioned a lot, but I at least like McDaniels and maybe Munchak a little bit. I think McDaniels gets the job unless he gets a promise of succession to head coach soon and stays with New England.

Pat Fitzgerald, who has drawn interest from the Packers, to @joelklatt on the broadcast after the Holiday Bowl win for Northwestern last night: “Hashtag Go Cats, man. This is home. I’m not going anywhere. This is home forever.” #GoCatsMan

Everyone immediately made a reference to Saban stating he was not going to coach the Crimson Tide. I don't want this guy, there is little indication he is up to the job in the NFL.

Gase to interview with Cardinals. Koetter with the Falcons as OC.

Pat Fitzgerald - C - Free Agent
Speaking after Monday night's Holiday Bowl victory over Utah, Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said, "I'm not going anywhere."
Many reports had him linked to Green Bay's head coaching vacancy, but Fitzgerald emphatically shot down those rumors on Monday night. "Hashtag Go Cats, man. This is home," said the 44-year-old, who also played his college ball in Evanston. "I’m not going anywhere. This is home forever." The Packers have cast a wide net in their coaching search, showing interest in former Lions and Colts head coach Jim Caldwell, Saints assistant/TEs coach Dan Campbell, Titans OC Matt LaFleur, Patriots DC Brian Flores, Patriots OC Josh McDaniels, Steelers OL coach Mike Munchak and former Colts coach Chuck Pagano, among others.

The Browns will interview 8-9 candidates in all starting with G. Williams today. Kitchens, Sirriani, Stefanski, Eberflus, D. Campbell. Flores are known candidates. Im told Browns do want to interview Josh McDaniels as well. Green Bay and Browns both would be very appealing jobs

VANCE JOSEPH WOULD ALSO MAKE A GREAT DC IF THEY DON'T RETAIN PETTINE

Gase was an ineffective coach—an alleged quarterback guru who never guru'd a quarterback who wasn't already Peyton Manning, and who reportedly rubbed both players (via ESPN's Cameron Wolfe) and ownership (SiriusXM's Craig Mish) the wrong way. And Tannenbaum's reassignment to the mail room will be lamented only by the agents who wrested market-setting contracts from him.

A NO VOTE FOR CASE

Steelers offensive line coach Mike Munchak is getting some buzz, per NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala. Munchak is a fine position coach whose game-planning (his 2013 Titans ran Army's 1954 playbook) and team management (see: just about any story emanating from the Steelers locker room this year) don't exactly inspire confidence.

A NO VOTE FOR MUNCHAK

There are some promising up-and-comers on the head-coaching short list, including Cowboys defensive assistant Kris Richard and Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus.

A REMINDER THAT I WANT AN ASSISTANT COACH HIRED THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE

Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora
In a year were teams may go to lengths and look in unique directions for a head coach, keep an eye on Chris Jones the coach / GM of Saskatchewan in the CFL. At least two NFL teams have done extensive research on the highly successful coach who has 4 Grey Cup Rings with 4 teams

For those of you on the McDaniels express:

Schedule updates: #Patriots OC Josh McDaniels is expected to interview for the #Packers HC opening on Friday, source said. … #Bears DC Vic Fangio is expected to do his interviews (#Broncos, #Dolphins) on Monday, source said.

[denverYooper]

Not the offense.

If he has the Patriots history of film and institutional knowledge of defenses that he benefitted from, Rodgers throws for 7K.

Junior is not bringing the library or Belichick with him.

Keep up the good fight.

McDaniels. Roflmao.

That’d be a stain on the “Storied Franchise” Brand.

I want to see this team win. I don't give a shit about whether the coaches/players fit some bullshit preconceived notion of "Packer People".

[Fosco33]

I’d like them to consider Zac taylor - oc la rams. Hoodie Jrs tree hasn’t borne fruit.

What was the name of the Continental Divide hiking coach who took a long sabbatical to go Forrest Gump on America's natural trails?

Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero
After interviewing McDaniels, the #Packers will fly to New Orleans for Saturday interview with #Saints AHC/TEs Dan Campbell, who has #Browns on Friday and #Cardinals before weekend's over too. Lot to pack in for candidates on byes, who can interview thru end of wild-card games.

I THOUGHT DAN CAMPBELL WAS THAT ETERNAL BRIDESMAID OC (Pete Carmichael) THAT WORKS WITH PAYTON LIKE SHERM LEWIS DID WITH HOLMGREN. BUT NO, HE IS THE FORMER INTERIM HC FOR THE DOLPHINS WHO OPINED ABOUT TOUGHNESS BEFORE THE TEAM FELL APART AFTER A GLORIOUS TWO GAME WIN STREAK. STRONG NO ON CAMPBELL

MIKE SHERMAN ALERT!

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde
Not that Mike Sherman’s son-in-law, #Rams QBs coach Zac Taylor, isn’t an intriguing candidate, too, but as @PackerReport points out, LaFleur is also a McVay guy but has something Taylor doesn’t: Meaningful coordinator experience, which LaFleur got under Mike Vrabel with #Titans.

An Argument in Favor of Hiring J-Mac

Adam Lambert once said that when folks "run in circle, it's a very, very mad world." Truer words have never been spoken since Lennon spoke the lyrics of "Imagine."

The Packers have been running in a circle of milksopism for far too long. The madness has got to end. Thompson and McCarthy are long due the Louis XVI treatment.

Thompson has not been competent since he used Mike Sherman's 24th overall draft pick to acquire a brush, hubrisitic numen from Cal, by the way of Butte.

If Thompson and the Great Belichick were indicted of insider trading - say, with the aforementioned numen on IR, Belichick agreed to trade Garoppolo to the Pack for a 1st and a 6th; Thompson, in turn, agreed to trade Garoppolo back to the Pats after the season for only a 1st, forgoing the 6th as interest - Belichick would ingeniously find loopholes in the law and walk out of court a free man.

Thompson? He's so incompetent, no judge would deem him competent enough to stand trial.

The truth is out there, and the truth says that Favre and Rodgers both made McCarthy a "highly successful coach," not vice versa. McCarthy's accomplishments without Favre and Rodgers constitute oodles of defeats, as well as making Aaron Brooks a pick-machine, shooting Alex Smith's confidence and sucking with Brett Hundley.

Louis XVIth both Thompson and McCarthy. Hire Josh McDaniels to run the whole shebang, that is, hire him to be both the GM and the coach. McDaniels holds a PhD in Belichickology. The Packers would become the Patriots of the NFC with McDaniels running the shebang.

McDaniels largely failed in Denver because he was, bluntly put, a pompous motherfucker. The Great Belichick wasn't exactly fruitful in his 1st gig, either. If anything, the Denver experience has humbled McDaniels with the humbleness of an awesome working-class hero.

Hire McDaniels and watch the Packers majestically win multiple Super Bowls with, to paraphrase Mumford and Sons, grace in their hearts and flowers in their hairs.

Why bother flying to NO? Marcia should starting typing up J-Mac's contract today and hand it to him on Friday to sign along with a blank check.
