Packers hiring LaFleur.

[Teamcheez1]

For all the hand wringing and bitching on this forum about the O line and defensive backfield, we sure seem to be concerned about losing the two coaches of the weakest links.

Maybe it's not the coaches, it's the talent that's the problem. You could even say that Whitt did a pretty good job considering who was playing back there by the end of the season.

Even so, maybe they can do better.

Still one of my all time faves. Not sure he can teach as I haven't really followed his coaching career. I am pretty sure he could still lock down any receiver in the NFC North though.

Except Plaxico.

^ I agree. That is why i am hoping either Hackett or Monken convince him (probably unlikely) to give this up and manage the team. A HC has more important game management decisions than play calling ones.

I am not sure if it was a report or an interpretation, but LaFleur’s determination to be play caller cost him a shot at his brother and the passing game coordinator out of SF.

O line is injured not poorly coached. The last of the Campen holdouts were won over with Bach and Taylor claiming starting jobs.

Whitt might have whiffed on Randall or Rollins but each of his other charges have gotten better. He was not in charge of safeties during the miscommunication years.

I will say I am not convinced Whitt is the entire solution or D coordinator material. He has had talented players and we don’t know enough about his film or scheme work. But he has has success at his position of authority.

Probably best to flush the stank that has emanated from the bowels of the Packers the last few years.

Too many turds in the punch bowl.

I do have a criticism of Campen. Lot of team confusion even with the starters versus overload blitz fakes with a stunt to get 2 or three blocking 1 guy and it took half the season to figure it out.

[Rutnstrut]

Except Plaxico.

It was a severely hobbled Plax at that.

Murphy said LaFleur was the best prepared of all the candidates. I suspect part of that was discussing putting together a coaching staff. I'm glad he doesn't feel he needs to keep MM's long-time assistants. The man has a plan.

Preparedness is key. I like that.

When I was listening to ESPN 1070 last week they pointed out one really impressive think the Packer Brass noted was MattFloor brought in a list of potential offensive and defensive coaches he'd like to consider if he were hired. And at the top of the list was Pettine...and GB liked that

[Bretsky]

Personally I don't care if he brought any of them back

I'm more worried about the hiring of LeFleur than I am which assistants he chooses

Green Bay has received permission to interview Jets receivers coach Karl Dorrell for the job, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Dorrell, 55, has spent the past four seasons with the Jets. He previously served as an offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach for Vanderbilt (2014), quarterbacks coach for the Texans (2012-13) and Dolphins (2011) and receivers coach for the Dolphins (2008-10). He has 13 years experience as an NFL assistant.

Dorrell was the head coach at UCLA from 2003-07.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
Another candidate on radar for OC spot on Matt LaFleur's staff is #Jets WRs coach Karl Dorrell, according to a source. Started under Mike Shanahan in Denver and has 13 years NFL experience in different offenses. Was head coach at UCLA and has coached WRs and QBs.

AFTER COMPLAINING ELSEWHERE THAT M3 HAD HIS QC GUYS COACHING WRS INSTEAD OF JIMMY ROBINSON, THIS LOOKS SOLID BECAUSE AS WE WILL LEARN, HE IS NOT A CANDIDATE FOR OC

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
I have an update on this. Dorrell is interviewing for WRs coach, not OC. Sorry for the mix up.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
If #Packers get Dorrell at WRs coach and a veteran like Monken or Hackett at OC, they'd have the start of a very good offensive staff.

I AGREE, THESE GUYS WOULD BE GIVE SOME VETERAN HEFT TO THE NEW ENTERPRISE
