If you want to read between the lines, it sounds like he is at least not ruling out some changes. Stay tuned.

Doesn't he have a hisotry of taking his sweet time even when changes do occur....as candidates get plucked with new coach hires ?

Matt Schneidman A housekeeping note? Barry really is under contract?

Shit that outta be put in twenty foot letters in a marquee across 41!!!!

That's a big thing, but izzit true?

Starting to get a feel for LaFleur.

Brilliant offensive mind, with limitations in some parts of the job.

Like staff building.. Took him years to get a Teams coach. Still doesn't have a D coordinator.

Seeing as that's the one big fan issue, they got Matt Schneidman to float a blurb that JB is signed?

Dunno if I believe that shit.

I suspect they will fire Barry by Thursday. When does Gooter speak?

Last year it was January 13, 5 days after their last game.

Agreed. On the one hand, he hired Stenavich as an O-line coach, and many of us here were skeptical, but he worked out as an O-line coach. On the other hand, he took his sweet time getting serious about ST, and he's really dragged out the defensive coordinator issues. I know he inherited Pettine, but his hiring of Joe Barely seemed more a result of just having experience with him rather than him being the best available defensive coordinator prospect.

I have a sinking feeling that he's back.

I'm not so sure. If MLF has made the decision to bring him back, he could have just said so right away like he did last year. My hope is that MLF will sit down with Gute, and Gute will convince MLF he can do better than Barry. The team that made the decision to move on from Aaron Rodgers should be able to move on from Joe Barry.

[Freak Out]

Please rebuild the defense starting with a new DC!

It's like when you were in high school and your best friend tried to talk you into breaking up with your girlfriend/boyfriend. "You can do so much better! They're holding you back, man!"

Guter should bring in some high school kids to talk to MLF about this. They'll set him straight.

And thus concludes this venerable thread.

Let's hope it goes better than W's mission accomplished.

Congrats to you. I've often criticized you, but you sure nailed this one. What was the significance of "by Thursday"?
