Hypothetical Next Coach of the Green Bay Packers

[call_me_ishmael]

Gase was a good OC for Manning and has made it work in bad situations with Cutler and Tannehill.

But I am not convinced he is a good head coach. Would need to know a lot more about why the Dolphins keep falling apart.

Because they've been terrible my entire 33 years of life and they're the fricking Dolphins? They don't have any good players.

I seriously doubt Rodgers will have any say on who our next HC is.

He won't be interviewing them, but if he doesn't meet and speak to them before the deal is signed, its a bad sign. Management has to have some hook to hold a belief that Rodgers will buy in.

I don't think the Packers paid him north of $100 mil so they could tick him off from the start.

Rodgers being here will also influence the interview process. Knowing what offense and who the OC will be will be even more important than usual. Sherman got hired partially because he kept the WCO and had a plan to reduce its dependence on the QB and WR. Some similar plan will need to be presented by the eventual HC.

They had a very good defense and some talent at the skill positions on offense. But it keeps going sideways. They've drafted pretty high relative to the Packers and spent money on FA.

They tore apart a talented defense and ending up with an expensive wreck. Need to know why that happened.

I liked Mike Sherman. 52-28 in five seasons ........ that's pretty damn good. Favre didn't need to be reined in either.

Even though Murphy and Gutekunst kept their cards close to their vest when asked about Aaron's involvement in the hiring process, no doubt in my mind his input will factor in, but not be the deciding factor. What would surprise me is if an organization openly talked about what or who was going to factor into the final decision. I think they were just being coy.

What potential coach wouldn't insist on talking to Rodgers? And maybe even a few more key personnel and starters? Am I being naive? I thought that always happened one way or another.

Smart ones would. That's not the case for every NFL coach.

I think the Packer brass should simply talk to ME first.

I'm on board with this. Shadow's recommendation/approval first or nothing!

That whole scenario seems like a fairy tale. And one where only one of the three key hires has proven himself.

No guarantees about Taylor succeeding. Philbin stepping up to a role he has failed before. Only Pettine as proven commodity.

Strongest statement yet in favor of interim coach Joe Philbin comes from Davante Adams: "I'd love to see the search stop there."

[Teamcheez1]

Lord have mercy. Strong endorsements for Philbin, and we interviewed Jim Caldwell. We are headed back to the 70’s/80’s.

[The Shadow]

I think the Caldwell interview was to address the Rooney Rule. At least I hope so.

The #Packers have interviewed another former #Colts head coach, Chuck Pagano, two sources said. He coached the Colts from 2012-'17. He also worked with Mike Pettine in Baltimore and hired Joe Philbin in Indianapolis.
