Packers hiring LaFleur.

[Joemailman]

Packers considering former Jags OC Nathaniel "Buddy" Hackett to be their OC.

Hackett was fired by Jax in November. He paid the price for the fact that Blake Bortles sucks.

After the Jags' playoff run last year, Hackett was hailed by some as a coordinator who could coach around Bortles' flaws and milk the most out of the QB. With Leonard Fournette rarely healthy for long stretches, a rag-tag group of receivers, and a flawed, injured offensive line, however, Hackett becomes the scapegoat in Jacksonville after a team with Super Bowl aspirations sits staring at a top-10 pick.

For the record, Jax scored 48 points in 5 games after they fired Hackett.

Unlikely they can get Zac Taylor as I don't think the Rams will let him go for a position less than a HC

Report that Taylor is Bengals top choice for HC. They can't hire him until Rams season is over.

Makes me feel slightly better about Hackett.

I'm only making the point (and this is now not addressing any point you were making) that Martin had maybe 25 targets, and I have no way of knowing, without watching the entire season over again, just how many came from five wide. So it was a thing, just not a big deal. What I find more interesting, looking back, was how Stubby could go from 5 wide to the inverted wishbone on the same set of downs. Not that these formations or Stubby had anything to do with Packer success - we all know that any success was due to Rodgers and luck.

The no huddle deal was really not an improvement, 2014 and 2016 be damned.

Him or Monken baby! Find an O line coach that knows Shanahan's offense and go from there. Heck, hire Matt Canada. Don't get stale!

Gee, I never would have guessed that watching the Season Opener against the Bears.

Its kinda theme since the Capers firing. But I wonder if its just the easy, public version of an excuse. Why was no one complacent in 2014 under the same guys?

Rob Demovsky reports our WR coach is leaving too!!

Luke Getsy, we hardly knew ye.

Best thing about the LaFleur hiring:

Stephen A. Smith, Skip Bayless and Colin Cowherd don't like the hire.

If these 3 clowns don't like it then we know we hired the right guy.

Dan Patrick, who I really like...was really shocked as well

I think you mean David Raih.
Getsy left last year.

You're just proving the point

[Patler]

You're just proving the point

...and apparently we know Raih even less

That could not have been an easy job this year. Tough one to break in with.

So as I remember it, Holmgren's staff came pre-loaded. Sherm Lewis and Gil Haskel were known commodities, with at least Lewis having been with the 49ers with Holmgren. 49ers also supplied him with Rhodes as DC and Rhodes got pretty well known quantities Dick Jauron and Bob Valesente (LB) to signup. I don't know where they got Lovato from, but he was very well regarded at least in retrospect. All the people you know well now, Mooch, Reid, Gruden, were young assistants, with Gruden at quality control and Reid as assistant O line and TE coach.

Sherman and McCarthy, in my memory, struggled to put together staffs and M3 inherited Bob Sanders though that was not his first choice.

All as prelude to ask: when do we start panicking about hiring an OC?
