The Official Fire Mike Pettine Thread

[GB-Brandon]

The frustrating thing to me is that is that Pettine has a CB who basically eliminates whatever receiver liners up on his side of the field. That should give gthem an advantage elsewhere that they don't seem able to take advantage of.

“INCOMPETENCE”!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[texaspackerbacker]

If we had won or even gone to the Super Bowl, I doubt they woulda got rid of Pettine. A small silver lining in this massive shitstorm is that now firing Pettine would seem to be back on the table and, in fact, likely.

I've said all along that I don't like Kevin King, but the fact is, a lot of teams get by with their second Corner as bad or worse than King, and some teams get by ok without even their top Corner being any better. We definitely need another excellent Corner, but no doubt about it, the primary problem is poor coaching and D scheme.

More on Pettine's status:

He opted not to sign an extension after last season.

Most coordinators/position coaches always have two years on their deals, but Pettine chose to go into the last year of his contract and see how things played out.

This is interesting. Pettine is, or will be a free agent.

[GB-Brandon]

Yeah, Pettine is gone for all practical purposes.

They don’t even have to fire him.

[Sparkey]

So they can't really fire him if he is not under contract. That makes things easy.

Scary thing is that even though he may not be great, there are a lot that are worse. Grass isn't always greener.

[GB-Brandon]

LOL. I can’t believe we went this whole season and nobody realized he was on the last year of his deal!! Unreal!

[easy cheesy]

Forgive me if I'm late to the party... but...Mennenga is gone. Additionally, forgive me for I think I posted this in the wrong thread.

He's certainly not the worst DC in the NFL. But if they retain him, it would be hard to be optimistic about significant improvement.

All is forgiven.

[GB-Brandon]

Do they switch to a 4-3? We have the perfect single high safety. I know of the perfect 4-3 ILB they could draft! Packer fans would love Zaven Collins!!

[GB-Brandon]

Lots of movement with things coming this offseason! For the Good!

I really think his badness was overstated. At some point, players gotta play. But yeah, in general, I don't see how he can come back after the big play in the Bucs game. Prior to that game, I'd say that I felt pretty decent about the defense though.

Raheem Mostert had like 150 yards before contact, and they had no adjustments or answers. And no one will even remember Mostert in 5 years.

And then this inexplicable coverage. He's not a first time offender.

Well yeah, that one was egregious. I also think they were just outmanned in that one big time, though.

I don't think he'll be back. I think MILF has the gravitas to bring in his own guy now. His BFF is also one of the better DC in the NFL so I am sure he will ask Bobby Salad what he thinks as far as candidates go. I am hopeful for another young guy. I see Matt Canada was promoted to OC in the NFL. Might we look to another former badger in Dave Aranda or something?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Fuck Mike Pettine.

The last time the Chefs lost a playoff game, former Pack great Andy Reid terminated his entire defensive staff, including former Pack great Al Harris. The Chefs haven’t lost a playoff game since.

Should the Frog (Lafleur is French) terminate his entire D-staff? Bring in moi to run the D. I’ll install the Pistol Force.
