I tend to agree. I sincerely hope it is the Michigan man, and not Pat Fitzgerald.Packers president Mark Murphy talked about giving Mike an opportunity to get an early jump on the market, as well as the embarrassing loss to the Cardinals at home. While all of those were certainly factors, and I know Murphy well and like him, I’m not buying it.
My sense is that the Packers have their eye on a candidate that they wanted to contact now, someone not currently working for an NFL team, rather than having to wait until January. Absent a candidate outside the league, why make this move now to simply interview NFL candidates under contract until after the season? I believe they did not want to reach out to a candidate while Mike had the position. I do not know who that candidate might be, but it’s likely a college coach who has time to interview before heavy bowl game/college playoff preparation begins in a week or so.

I think I have to take that off a christmas list.Originally posted by mraynrand View PostBud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

That is one of Brandt's better columns. I hope anecdote about adjusting the player roster bonus to include the offseason workouts is true. Its a nice angle and I bet McCarthy found it helpful.
Just not sure he has a strong bead on this. It might be a college coach they want, but having first shot at interviewing them doesn't mean its locked in.
If the Packers win out (no guarantee) its a 500 team. I bet Gute sees the roster as at least that good and not at all on the same level as the Cardinals. I think that is a pretty direct cause here.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Because everyone in the league bends the rules and through intermediaries contact the assistant coach or coaches they're interested in. Those coaches respond, and often "agreements" are reached, long before that assistant's season is over.
Everybody and his brother knew Mike Holmgren was leaving Green Bay for Seattle, long before that last game of the season was played. And that's just one instance."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I'm confused. Is Murphy interviewing Mike Tyson?"Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - WoodbuckComment

DeFilippo just got fired in MN so I don't know if I'd want him as HC but perhaps QB coach?Comment

[QUOTE=Fritz;998068]What's the matter with Fitzgerald? He is far from my first choice and I really doubt he would leave Northwestern, but he seems to be a good competent and creative coach. If the choice was purely him or Harbaugh, absolutely he gets my vote.Originally posted by call_me_ishmael View PostWhat could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

[QUOTE=texaspackerbacker;998082]You want a coach from a Big 10 school that hasn't won anything? What, exactly, has Pat Fitzgerald done to prove he can win at the highest level? He surely hasn't done that. Spare me the Northwestern challenges, etc. I fully understand the challenges. I won't deny he's had a nice degree of success there but I wouldn't say it has been at the highest level. They play in the cupcake Big 10 west.Originally posted by Fritz View Post
I, too, doubt he'd leave Northwestern. Why would he? He's a made-man there. There's something to be said for having tenure at a few million per year and being loved. That's not a bad life at all.
There is no debate between Harbaugh or Fitzgerald lol. I'm sorry but I just cannot take this seriously.Comment

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.

Tyson would be a tremendous Special Teams Assistant Coach. Or maybe even player.Originally posted by mraynrand View PostComment
