Hypothetical Next Coach of the Green Bay Packers

[pbmax]

He sounds like the "A.J. Hawk of coaches"

Fangio's coaching has improved dramatically since the Bears Signed Mack.

Fritz Shurmur also improved with the signings of Reggie, Sean, Santana, and Gilbert

Remember how Brian Billick became an offensive genius after the Vikings signed Cunningham and drafted Moss?

That is my one reservation about him, that he seems player dependent like McCarthy.

But so is Pettine. He needs man to man corners, prefers not to play zone and wants a pass rush out of the front four.

I am just saying if you want one of these guys, it might as well be Fangio.

Jim Trotter @JimTrotter_NFL
Privately, one Vikings coach said of Fangio: “He’s the best defensive coordinator in the game, hands down. They don’t do a lot, but his guys are always well-prepared and in the right spots.”

Fun fact: Fangio got Jim "Playoffs!?!" Mora fired. Irsay wanted Mora to fire Fangio after a season in which the Colts D allowed 30 ppg. Mora refused and he and his entire staff got canned.

One word and one word only explains why Fangio is suddenly looking so pretty: Mack.

So Hicks and Floyd have nothing to do with it huh?

In Indy, Fangio's previous units were 4th and 7th for points. If form holds, he will have had 7 defenses in the top 10 for points allowed out of 23 years coordinating.

Problem is, like Capers, when it goes bad, it goes bad. He doesn't has one Top 11-20 finish. All the rest are bottom third of the league.

What position can teams prevent individuals from interviewing for, Head Coach or GM?

GM is final say, right? But can they prevent you interviewing for an HC job?

No. But they can prevent you from interviewing if you already have "Assistant HC" in your title OR if your team is still in the playoffs. Once the season is over, they can't block anymore.

Floyd and Hicks are seeing daylight b/c of Mack.

Doesn't matter who is coordinating the Packer D. Capers, Pettine, Fangio, the ghost of Lombardi. Same subpar results regardless with the current personal.

I think assistant HC means only they can prevent an interview for any position except HC.

But I could be wrong. The article talking about Free Agents (see here) was also talking HC. Mentioned Hoody Jr., Arians and Toub. But said DeFillipo might be out of reach because of his contract.

How about Joe Lombardi as the next HC? Full circle, baby!

I mean yeah, look at all the times Mack was double team last night.

[call_me_ishmael]

Didn't the Bears want to trade Leonard Floyd before the season? I seem to recall one of the big national writers saying he was available. I'd get in on that if the cost was affordable. He may be skinny but he's young and athletic.

[Joemailman]

He was interesting, but to me I'd clearly take the VIkings OC over him

Will his stock be slipping? Vikes offense is just average, and with pretty good talent IMO. And they haven't run the ball any more than the Packers.

Clearly Frank Reich was the right move and the brains behind the Eagles offense!

It has nothing to do with the QB at all.

Here is some speculation that is devoid of ANY reporting:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000988895/article/aaron-rodgers-mike-mccarthy-at-odds-over-offense

"Mike McCarthy is certainly now on the hot seat for Green Bay," Rapoport said. "He needs to close strong, it feels like, to keep his job in Green Bay. Obviously, one of the longest tenured coaches in the NFL and that is all in doubt.

"And there's a couple reasons why. One of them does involve the disconnect with Aaron Rodgers -- the tension there regarding the direction of the offense. Rodgers has been pretty vocal about his frustration with play-calling and the lack of creativity was there on Thursday night. That, of course, is something [Packers] CEO Mark Murphy will have to make a big decision on at the end of the year."

Mike will have some competition for the Browns HC job.

From @NFLGameDay: Retired coach Bruce Arians tells me he'd come back for just one job -- the #Browns. .... Meanwhile, #Jaguars coach Doug Marrone isn't going anywhere, despite the team's losing streak.

If you watched Michigan- OSU, you know you don't want Harbaugh. Period.

Arians prolly wants to come back for any job that is available; that is just the one now

My gut says he'd come back for coaching AROD too
