Fitz just signed a 10 year contract extension in 2017. Northwestern is due to open a brand new football stadium next year. He's a lifelong Bears fan. I don't think he's going anywhere.

I can't run no more with that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen -
Until now, I haven't had a clear top choice - just several mentioned that I absolutely did not want. That may have changed today, though.
What I want more than anything else is a coach who will pass pass pass - run only as a change of pace or when the game is in hand and you're running out the clock. What I also want is a coach who will not stupidly try to change or rein in Aaron Rodgers - let's play the whole game the way the Packers have done so well in 4th quarters when things got desperate, and they just put things in Rodgers' hands.
Who fits those things better than anybody else I've seen so far? Joe Philbin.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

I've lost my taste for the college game, as it's just about who can cheat the best (ie, the most without getting caught), so I don't care that much about Harbaugh staying or leaving Michigan. In my book, everybody and his brother knows why Harbaugh's getting nine million a year, and it ain't to produce fine young scholar-athletes. Yet he hasn't beaten OSU, period. Hasn't played for the Big Ten title yet, much less for a national championship. But again, if he stays at Michigan and they're dumb enough to pay him that much for beating up on the Indianas and Rutgerses of the world, fine. No problem.
But please god not to Green Bay.
As for Tex's preference, I suppose I could see the appeal - the system's already in place, no new big learning curve for the offense, maybe they could compete sooner. But that argument assumes that the falling apart of the offense was a personality problem - as in Mike McCarthy's personality. And I don't think that's quite the whole issue."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Fritz, I don't see Philbin as just a continuation of McCarthy's system, strategically anyway - if Sunday's game is any indication at least. McCarthy seemed to be drifting in the wind with regard to all the noise about running the ball more and/or reining in Aaron Rodgers. Philbin clearly didn't do either of those stupid things in his first game. THAT is what I like about him - assuming he would not deviate and succumb to the stupidity being spewed by some people.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

The unknown with Philbin is what would his playbook look like if under his control. All I see him doing the rest of this season is choosing plays on MM's sheet. I can't get much of a read from that. I really don't want Philbin as the next coach anyway.Originally posted by texaspackerbacker View PostComment

To be fair, the game script for the Packers included a lead starting in the 2nd quarter. So perhaps we'll see if they are tempted to abandon it when behind.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment
