HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE NEW PACKER COACH ?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I wonder why APB hated the pick. Because it wasn't Sherman?

For the record, I wanted the Packers to hire a minority, preferably, a black, Asian or Turkish HC. But to answer your question, if they were gonna hire a Caucasoid, they shoulda gone with J-Mac.

Sherman was a better GM than he was as a coach. Sherman the GM never once missed the playoffs!

What? APB, are you trolling? Sherman was a great coach Tuesday to Saturday. He wasn't great at making the in-game adjustments that cost us in the playoffs against the Rams, Vikes, Falcons, etc. However you feel about him as a HC, he was certifiably worse as a GM. Just garbage.

Tony Oday (!!) with the worst take in the thread. I wasn't sold on MLF when it happened, but it seems like they got it right in hindsight.

12-4
12-4
10-6
10-6 (record allowed all the planets to align for Todd, and Todd took some cocky QB from Butte; Packers started 2-5 or something like that; say, Packers finished 6-10; would Todd take the Great Arm of Butte with, say, the 9th overall pick?; Todd loved Demarcus Ware!)

Never once missed the playoffs as GM! Sherman the coach lacked balls to “go for the kill.” 4th and 1, a hot RB, punted. The rest is 4th and 26 history.

Allowed the roster to fall to shit during his time as GM. Got fired as GM for incompetence. Any of that sound familiar?

[texaspackerbacker]

Gosh, I feel responsible for this crap by bringing up the name Sherman in a positive way. I didn't realize it would trigger such a shitstorm hahahahaha.

The guy was 52-28 as a head coach. As a GM, he was a lousy drafter, but he was not afraid to play it close to the cap. I'm not saying he was the greatest GM ever, just IMO a helluva lot better than Ted Thompson. And as a coach, I'd say the record speaks for itself, although he did have Favre in his prime, so maybe he shoulda done even better. I'd probably rank him behind only Lombardi, Holmgren, and LaFleur as Packer head coaches - ahead of McCarthy.

This is all water over the dam IMO, and not really worth getting excited about, especially given the wonderfulness of this season and last season.

[smuggler]

Hardly a shitstorm. I was happy to have Sherman compared to someone like Dave Wannstedt. He was good but he fell off by the end, and his failures in talent acquisition and cap management put him in a position to fail later as a coach. If we had someone better suited to the business and drafting side of things, I think his coaching was fine. In some ways I preferred him to McCarthy, because I felt Sherman was just smarter than McCarthy. But, it's close and McCarthy obviously had more success.

I like him, but I don't, you know, like him like him.

I think I'm starting to fall in love now.

This is what happened. He took over a great roster and slowly destroyed it with short sighted decision making.

How the fuck did the roster “fall to shit?”

Sherman kept Wolf’s hotshot OL intact by resigning the likes of Wahle and Clifton to competitive contracts. Wolf traded for Green via Sherman’s recommendation. Sherman drafted a Pro Bowl WR in J-Walk. Traded for Al Harris. Packers are still searching for Barnett’s replacement. Kampman had Kung fu. “Cletitdus” Clark can’t hold Cullen Jenkins’ jockstrap. Hell, Corey Fucking Williams, a 6th rounder, was good enough to net Todd a 2.

Sherman’s record as GM speaks for itself. If you don’t like seeing the Pack in the playoffs, go root for the Lions!

Wrong.

Sherman managed the cap efficiently and competently. Everybody and their baby’s mamas knew that the Networks were gonna eventually bail out the league...except for Todd. Thus, Sherman cooked the cap to keep the Pack competitive.

Todd took over and gave birth to 4-12. The Packers didn’t have to be 4-12. Shoulda cooked the cap. In Todd’s second season, all Todd did was hibernate with the Networks’ bailout money. 6-10 was the end result.

Joe Johnson, Cletius Hunt, Jamal Reynolds, BJ Sander. Didn't have any horses ready to replace Wolf's O-line guys. Screwed the pooch with Walker and Mike McKenzie.

Brohm, Harrell, Sherrod, Randall, King over Watt...Name a GM who has never fucked up in the draft.

The bottom line is, Sherman never once missed the playoffs as GM.

Go root for the fucking Lions! When’s the last time the Lions won a playoff game?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Btw, Sherman got a 2 for the disgruntled McKenzie, who was originally a 3rd rounder. That’s a win.

The J-Walk fiasco was Todd’s.
