I don't think its a bad hire. But its been nothing remarkable through now and I suspect he was not much different than 10 other assistants they could hire. His best decision so far was to keep Pettine. He didn't get many, if any, of his top choices for assistants after that. He has been OK with the public and survived Rodgers pushing him around and he got another team into camp.

He is doing better than Freddie Kitchens (publicly fighting his OL coach) and Brian Flores (has lost one assistant to health and another to incompetence). The one sure sign of improvement is that Gute seems willing to give Pettine players designed for his system, which Ted and Dom couldn't seem to do after drafting Nick Perry.

But they haven't played yet so this is all speculation.

Going this route, the question again is: can the Packers do a better job of developing a head coach than they did with Sherman (saddled him with GM job) or McCarthy. Can they get this kid to learn and adapt? That will be the test. Otherwise they need a early Wolf or Thompson run of play acquisition to make the Super Bowl.

I think Gute is going to have to get him some players...he went out and got quite a few for Pettine. They have a QB, LT, #1 WR, and good-enough RBs...so it's really on the coaches to make the most of what they have. I think they've improved the talent level considerably on the defensive side which should help. The WRs are there wildcard there.

You're right on re: the coach being able to adapt and develop, and I'm curious to see what happens when adversity hits and if he can keep things together. For all his faults, M3 kept the locker room...at least until the last year. Trouble is, he lost Rodgers, and his scheme became stale and was not well suited to rookie WRs.

Nate:

My mother-in-law joined us for a Packers game a few years back. Before halftime ended, an obese, shirtless man sitting behind us vomited on her and then fell directly on top of her. The guy didn’t get kicked out.

Bob:

The new Head Coach must have found one of Dom Caper's old hairpieces and decided "That's the look I just gotta have!"

Hooking up the wireless earbuds was too much for him

Better joke told by the Irish quipster David Allen.

"ARGO fuck yourself." LOL
That sounds like an answer fake Sean Connery would give on SNL's Jeopardy, or what a pirate might say.

I actually did like that movie.

hilarious, scarey, on point, and crazy, all at the same time.
