no

he would probably want the team to give his father in law a job

He plans to keep Pettine and defensive staff (which I'm a bit worried about with all but Pettine)

I thought Montgomery did a good job with the D-Line considering the injuries. The rest I don't care about.

Just think of all the GIFs and memes we can now use ironically!

Asked about the hire if you are a Packer fan:

Mike Tanier @MikeTanier
I think I would approach it the way I did when the Eagles replaced Andy Reid with Chip Kelly: a mixture of cautious enthusiasm and creeping dread.
(Also how I face most mornings)


For the record, I am in favor of this. New blood. If he hires an OC and gives him play calling I will give him a crown.

I like it too. I think it's a good shot at a potential good young offensive mind.

There is risk for a first-time HC but I don't think Kelly is the best comp. He didn't have the NFL experience that LaFleur did. Joe's post lines out a pretty good looking history of QB tutelage as well as several years with the Shanahan clan, which has been a pretty fertile tree.

Kelly also wanted a lot of control over the personnel. Indications are that will not be the case with LaFleur.

Saw on Twitter, can't find the original source:

Packers Have a Type:
Mike Holmgren (43) 2 sseasons as OC (San Fransisco)
Mike Sherman (46) 1 season as OC (Seattle)
Mike McCarthy (42) 1 season as OC (San Fransisco)

Ray Rhodes did not count...

i'd like to know what qualifies him to have a good offensive mind? working for other people with good offensive minds?

cause he's had the chance to run an offense 1 time in his career, last year, and it was a disaster

ok, he's good at tutoring QBs. thats about the last thing we need. we needed someone to kick our QB in the ass, not teach him how to call a play in the pros

Sounds good, let’s do it.

Tennessee had no talent in the passing game. Their best player on offense is Derrick Henry, a running back. That doesn't work in the NFL. He probably should have stayed in LA where they had a top 10 offense his one year as OC there. In 2016 Matt Ryan won the league MVP at age 31 with LaFleur as his QB coach.

I'll go out on a limb and say that Murphy and Gutey took into consideration more than his ability to develop QB's.

If the Pack had hired Jim Caldwell, I would have blown my brains out imm.

Well, I said I wanted a low-ego kind of guy who won't rock the boat, just let Aaron Rodgers be Aaron Rodgers. I really don't know much about this guy; I get the impression nobody in here does. But based on his age, his experience level, etc., I'm hopeful he fits the bill - a fairly cerebral type who will basically pass pass pass, given the make up of the team and maybe inject some creativity into the pass routes and pre-snap action. I also hope he brings in a decent O Line coach.
