Official fire Maurice Drayton

[Anti-Polar Bear]

i asked the same thing last night

it has to be. we've been bad at special teams for so damn long

it can't just be a coincidence

Desmond Howard must’ve cursed the Packers after they cut him midway through his second stint with the team.

Why the fuck did they cut Howard? I seem to recall the guy returning a kick for 6 with the Kittens after the termination.

I blame MLF the most. He did nothing to fix this situation and ignored it all season. Just passive! Drayton will deservingly get fired but people should look really hard at MLF too. I'm just not impressed with the guy at the moment.

Me either. A measly 39 wins in 3 seasons and 2 NFCC games. Fuck him.

Its fair to be upset with his hire and sticking with the guy, but to say you aren't impressed with him is sorta silly.

Correct. MLF has only been a head coach for a few years. He's a very young guy by coaching standards. There are things he still has to learn. Expecting perfection is ridiculous.

As I've noted, keeping Drayton all year was a mistake. MLF must acknowledge that, publically, at some point and explain what he learned from that mistake. I have no issue with a coach learning from a mistake so that it doesn't happen again. I just need to know that MLF has recognized the mistake and vows to not allow incompetence to be a leader on his staff, regardless of the short term ramifications.

If you are going to say that you are unimpressed with a coach who had won more often than any coach in league history to this point in his career, then you have an impossible standard and there is no point listening to you.

The thing that I don't understand is if they weren't working on the right things, etc, why didn't he step in and help out? He is ultimately responsible for the team. If a business pillar is under performing or whatever, someone would step in and help set the tone, direction, etc.

Drayton is the main problem here. However mlf needs a mirror and some time to figure out why he let it go on.

How does our centre get trucked like that???
The blocked fg with no one noticing an overload???
I don't get it. I don't understand special teams but I think the fundamentals of gap integrity and blocking are kinda universal. The only way you fick it is by overthinking, we need a basic st. We have deep talent, just be fucking average

I've defended Drayton to some extent in the past, but after yesterday's game, no more. Over and over and over, blunder after blunder after blunder.

[Bretsky]

Shanahan said multiple times to the press he went in thinking he had some definite advantages on ST

He exposed them

This is Guteys fault. MLF wanted Rizzi when he was hired. They low balled him.

Completely Agree

You need someone to blame other than Rodgers.

[Freak Out]

Has this clown been fired yet?

MLF was doing player interviews today. He was asked about it. Didn't rule out the possibility of changes to coaching staff.

You know, that is a good point. Maybe MLF's hands were tied because he could only offer minimum wage.

True, but I guess you didn't see what I said in some other thread. LaFleur, as he so often does, throttled down on Rodgers and the passing game, especially downfield passing, and first and foremost, as LaFleur even said in his video conference, you can't blame the QB when the D is in his lap all day because the O Line can't handle the pass rush. Rodgers of course made some mistakes and maybe didn't show much patience at times, but the special teams lost the game along with chronic poor O Line play and the coach channeling McCarthy, seemingly playing not to lose.

I assumed Drayton would be fired after the season. I didn't think the season would have ended like that.
The regular season was awful, but that playoff game was a career-killing performance.

I don't see how MLF doesn't fire Drayton.
