Hypothetical Next Coach of the Green Bay Packers

[Bretsky]

GREG BEDARD SUMMATION

BRIAN FLORES- --Likes him long term and think's he's great, but thinks it's a bit early for him

HOODY GENIUS JR- Thinks there is a very slim chance HG2 would be interested in Green Bay's job. Noted HG2 would need a near perfect scenario. Apparently he almost took the 49er job last year though. Last year HG2 wanted to bring a personnel guy along with him from NE and wanted some say/vested interest in personnnell; Bedard said unless him and Gooter have a relationship he doesn't know about he really doesn't think McDaniels will be that interested in coming to GB given the structure. Noted HG2 is probably getting the Patrots job once HG1 steps aside so it will need to be a perfect structure.

They asked Bedard who he really thought was a fit for GB knowing the candidates as well as the structure- his view ….Adam Gase

There have been two entirely different reads on Gutekunst and McDaniels flirtation with SF. One read is that they almost were hired together and must have been OK working together.

The other read is that Gute bailed when it looked like the team would name the HC first.

I am on the side of the latter explanation. There is no question Gute wanted the coach to work for him. Question is, does Murphy agree?

^ You can give an emphatic no or sort of skirt the issue. Fitzgerald (thankfully) gave a very emphatic no. He's not going anywhere, per his own words. And frankly, why would he? Coaching in college is a sweet gig compared to the long hours of the pros. I don't know his family life but he's what, 45, so he statistically has 2 and a half kids or so. No way would I trade the coziest job in the country (for him) to double my earnings but have to double my hours, give up autonomy, etc when I already have all the money I could ever need/want.

What's the difference in quality of life between 4M and being a golden god and having tenure essentially vs 8M, working 2x as much, giving up tenure, working with big egos, etc. If it was 40K to 80K, sure. Maybe even 400K to 800K. But 4M to 8M? At the end of the day it's the same hamburger and his kids are set. Why the hell would you give that up?? Putting myself in his shoes, there is a zero percent chance I would leave Northwestern.

What would you do in this situation:

Say, you’re a humble college graduate, and thanks to capitalism, you’re making $13,920 annually for company A. Company B is willing to pay you $17,760 annually to do the same shit for them. Company A offers job security as long as the capitalist economy remains bullish. Company B is getting acquired by Company C, so it’s not a given you’ll have a job after the acquisition.

What’s the wise move? Stay or go?

Multiple NFL teams made inquiries on Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald, but agent Bryan Harlan said Fitzgerald said he will not be a candidate for any NFL openings, including the #Packers.


Congratulations to esoxx and I for helping to avoid this developing disaster. Rally, effigy burning and pitchfork demonstration cancelled.

esoxx, can DYoop and I interest you in joining the McDaniels resistance?

[Joemailman]

So the possibilities so far are:

Matt LaFleur
Brian Flores
Josh McDaniels
Dan Campbell
Jim Caldwell
Chuck Pagano
Pete Carmichael
Mike Munchak
Joe Philbin

Missing anybody?

I just have a hunch the eventual coach isn’t on that list. Unless of course it’s McDs. Anybody else feel like they will end up interviewing more people??

I’d still like them to talk to Zac Taylor - he’s interviewing with den, az and cincy. Former Husker QB - now OC for the rams.

And weird connection - his father in law is none other than Mike Sherman...

[KYPack]

I hope it's somebody we barely know.

Probably be an OC.

Last two D types were Ray Rhodes and Phil Bengston.

Eh, I just put the torches away so not sure I can get my lather up again so soon. I will say this about McDaniels, we could do worse. Yes he has warts, big warts, but he also has worked closely with the #1 QB of all time for many years. Brady and Rodgers are tight. AR would respect McDaniels based on that I feel and it could be a great pairing. Of course, there's more to running a team than simply being a QB whisperer, but it may be a big task to get him back on track and time is running out.

Hell no to Adam Gase though. I would spark up a torch for that one.

GB Radio this morning had a guest on, but i missed who it was...he said don't be shocked if GB hires Matt LaFleur.

Don’t lock that closet esoxx!

#Packers are expected to interview former #Dolphins coach Adam Gase, according to league sources. He has interviewed with the #Cardinals and #Jets. Story to follow shortly.

This is the one guy I am truly divided on. I could see it going way.
