Packers hiring LaFleur.

[Bretsky]

I agree with Bretsky that Rams probably won't let Zac Taylor go.

I think we'll find out tomorrow that LaFleur knocked it out of the park with his interview and they didn't feel the need to do any more interviews.

Bingo

After listening to the Titans reporter covering the team he was convinced he would kill and interview

Heard from several he came in with a list of offensive and defensive preferred coaches he's considering bringing in with him and Pettine was at top of his list of potential DC's.

[Bretsky]

He HAD to KILL the interview and Marcia had to be in absolutely love with him.

Nobody else granted him an interview; so there was no downside in bringing him and others back for round two; I'd bet Gooter would have bought a few back in...……….but you know...…….MARCIA has been around football all his life and he really knows what he's doing )

GENERAL COMMENT

I think Hoody Genius Jr has little to no chance for this job based on unconfirmed info but info I keep hearing

Hoody Genius Jr has asked for some say in personnell in past interviews and I think had some others in mind for the defensive side of the ball. Many, including those covering the Packers, thought GB wanted the new coach to keep the current DC. Marcia Marcia Marcia is running the show and there was no way he was wanting a coach coming in asking for more than that of a rookie HC with limited experience. And I'm not sure Hoody Genius Jr wanted to walk into a situations with a power hungry President who wants to the GM and the overseer of the Packer Universe

Marcia Marcia Marcia wanted his coach to coach and that's it. And he wants to be the president and GM and run the show. No strong willed coaches were coming to GB. He was going to bring in a rook

LaFleau makes sense. Many have said he has great presence. I listened to 15 minutes of the best Titans guy rave about LaFleaur, and he said from the first time he met him he thought he was head coach material. He just hoped to keep him for 2 years because in his mind he was getting a HC job soon. Also noted the person who will benefit most from this, hands down will be Aaron Jones and then noted to look at how Gurley was utilized two years ago. Also noted lights out work ethic and whether it's Matt Ryan, or Aaron Rodgers, he will be undoubtedly in charge, and he was challenge his QB's.

So I'm conservatively blessing the hire, and realistically I understand there was NO WAY Marcia Marcia Marcia was letting an overly qualified candidate come to GB

Why does it have to be a conspiracy to keep McDaniels out?

Maybe he is a jack wagon? Or a bad interview?

For a moment, forget personnel or defense (in Denver his DCs were Mike Nolan and Don Martindale). You want a conspiracy theory?

Fourth coaching hire in a row that is running some version of a west coast offense. Consistency for the QB is the running theme in GB, And while I like the hire a lot, I am not sure that is the best criteria for hiring a coach. But at least LeFleur has an updated version of the offense.

Rams coach Sean McVay, to the Los Angeles media, had this to say about new Packers coach Matt LaFleur, his former assistant: "I talked to Matt when he was going into interview and Matt is obviously, he is one of my closest friends. So to see that for him, you couldn't be more excited. He's a great football coach. Got a great understanding from offensive football, a very – he's just such a great guy. He cares about people, he's going to be honest with his communication and then he's going to be invested in working really hard to try to put guys in good spots, but when you see those types of things you can't do anything but just be really happy for a close friend, I love his family. His wife Brie, his two boys Ty and Luke, so it's an exciting thing for the Packers and for Matt for sure."

i'm not crying conspiracy. I'm saying he wasn't going to be the coach. I base this partly off your buddy's 15 minute interview....aka...the GREAT GREG BADARD

He said McDaniels was a bad fit for the Marcia structure in GB and McDaniels will not likely want some authority since he most likely has the NE job with Hoody Genius Sr leaves. So for Josh to take the GB job the coach would have to identity it as the perfect structure to excel in. And if that was true, do you think, even if McDaniels knocked the interview out of the park, Marcia was hiring him ? If that info was true Maricia would hire Patty Fitzgerald....aka...THANK GOD he's staying in ILL...……….over HG2
Bad interview ……...ask the Colts

Not sure I trust the Colts decisions.

If personnel say were a deal killer, why interview? It has been clear since last year that Gute has roster control.

Truth is that he has no guarantees he gets Bill's job, or even a date for Bill's retirement.

McDaniels made the playoffs his first year in Denver with a terribly weak division. That might translate to what BB did in Cleveland. But Bill had five years to demonstrate his competence. McDaniels drove people crazy in a year and a half and then had the Colts fiasco. Diva Coach seems to be the best description.

Sure we need two young geniuses on offense? Would rather a more veteran hand on offense I think.

Philbin?

[woodbuck27]

BTW, sounds like a Canadian hockey player - Woody what you know???

That Canadian Pro Player was in his prime the greatest hockey player on the planet. The great Guy LaFleur of the Montreal Canadiens .. Les Habitants.

[woodbuck27]

My only concern is with secondary play and personnel. Would love them to emphasize more zone (not all the time but mix) to enable Josh Jackson to contribute. But that is the only complaint so far.

What is the story on Josh Jackson this season pbmax? He seemed invisible.

[pbmax]

Philbin?

No. If they keep on old, existing hand, keep Campen.

[pbmax]

What is the story on Josh Jackson this season pbmax? He seemed invisible.

He was out there in dime and dollar (6 and 7) DB packages.

But he's too grabby and penalty prone. Better at zone than man. Behind Alexander and King. Breeland is better too. Needs work.

LaFleur has landed in Green Bay.
