What's the authority hierarchy between O-line coach, Passing Offense Co-ordinator, and Rushing Offense Co-ordinator? Do they duke it out for equal time instructing the linemen on co-ordinating the various blocking schemes for particular plays? Does Rodgers have to attend all those meetings or does he just show up and assume he can hold the ball and dance around for 6 seconds between all that co-ordinated blocking?

Great question. The duties as I recall come down to: classroom instruction, classroom playbook install, classroom film breakdown, on field drills, game planning, assessment of game tape, assessment of practice tape.

My guess is that the coordinators get game planning, share in game film breakdown and get some time in the classroom install and breakdown.

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
Dolphins plan to hire Packers’ run game coordinator/inside linebackers coach Patrick Graham as their defensive coordinator, per source. Dolphins’ hiring cycle is frozen due to Patriots’ LB coach Brian Flores preparing for Super Bowl LIII.

I was thinking about this in regards to McCarthy's future. If the Packers have considerably more offensive success next year with mostly the same players, will he be seen by teams as a coach unable to keep up with the changes in the game? And therefore not hired?

True. He probably shoulda lowered his standards and taken a position this year if in fact any were offered.

Instead of trickery and scheming to outduel the other candidates and get a head-coaching job in the future, he shoulda just beat the other candidates straight up. Win your matchup, McCarthy.

He tanked this year to get a higher draft position next year

Depends on the narrative du jour and how the Packers actually look next year. M3 was getting paid either way, he can afford to sit out and have his pick of jobs next year too, or get into broadcasting.
I do think the "things were getting stale" narrative holds some water, and while the roster talent needs improving they underperformed this year.

I think the Packers played right at their talent level this year

Assuming players remain injured (APRI).

Too bad MLF didn't pursue Clements. .

Assuming players remain injured (APRI).

Absolutely. The players the Packers shut down have some talent. Enough that, with one or two well-targeted FAs, and a decent draft with 2 starters and some role players, the Packers could make a dramatic reversal next year. Maybe even enough to make the playoffs. APRH.

No, I don't think so. He's in a shockingly similar situation to Andy Reid (age, tenure, org type, speciality, reputation, championship appearances, etc), and I think he'll have a similar outcome if he gets with the right org. A big difference in my eyes is MM by all accounts has a great home life and prioritizes that. Many felt Reid started coaching immediately the next year without a quality QB because he was running away from his son's suicide.

Part of me thinks the reason Reid innovated so much in KC is because of his lack of QB. I happen to like Alex Smith, but let's be real, nobody is winning a championship with Alex freakin' Smith unless the D is historically great.

I just think MM is being choosey. Rightfully so. Any offensive specialist taking on an HC job without a QB will probably be unemployed or doing something different in 3 years given how insanely short the NFL leash is. Circling back to the home life and even his upbringing (conjecture on my part), it's not hard to imagine MM wants to plan on another 10+ year job, not hop around and settle in as a journeymen OC or something if he washes out at the next HC gig.

We have to keep in mind that the Packer offensive catastrophe led them to be middle of the League. They were 8th this year in Offensive DVOA I believe.

The ongoing ST and Defensive catastrophes have lead them to the bottom 1/3 of the League for multiple years.

Packer Report @PackerReport
John Bonamego has been hired as Detroit's special-teams coordinator. He held that job here from 2003 through 2005. Obviously it's still a vacancy for Green Bay.

$#&*%#@!!!

And than there was one

There isn't any part of this that is outlandish. Except the fascination with #1 picks. Accumulating them rather than using them (or getting them earlier in the round) was the downfall of the process. You have to harvest some talent with the seeds in the collection.
