Shanedorf Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 The "early betting favorites" are merely a function of how the agents are pimping their clients through their media friends. All of the names and lists are put out there by coaches' agents trying to get their guys a new and better gig. The media always wants new content and the agents are happy to fill the void The team generated short lists are team -specific and are not trumpeted by the media....because that is completely counterproductive to the goals of each franchise. The Packers certainly aren't talking about who THEY want. IF you read the internet with your mouth agape, a lot of really stupid **** will find its way into your gray matter.

MacReady Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Also, don't necessarily want Fangio, I just want Fangio to be a head coach since I think he's overall more important to that Bears defense than Mack is. He's had a solid defense every single place he's coached. Add Mack into the equation and of course it's going to be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBitzMan Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 If we do end up going with a Fangio or Toub type - Flip could definitely be in play as OC. Just because he isn't going to be the HC doesn't mean he still couldn't end up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's also been fired 9 times for sucking. Now he has fewer injuries and more all stars in Chicago. Amazing how smart Fangio got right after Mack arrived.

I'd add that I don't recall many here who were pushing DeFlippo so congrats, you're all vindicated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBitzMan Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I also think Flip is being scapegoated pretty badly by Zimmer/Spielman here. The Vikings have the 13th DVOA passing offense with arguably the worst Oline and an overpaid QB who can't win on the road or in primetime. If you watched the game last night Cousins missed wide open players on numerous plays, specifically Thielen on 4th and goal. This reeks of desperation, I don't think Flip was necessarily the problem.

That's the thing, despite betting odds that DeFlippo was an early favorite, no one here was really buying in. Your point isn't lost, it's just not applicable here. And odds will change greatly as more accurate info comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but status quo doesn't save a sinking ship either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tension between Zimmer/Flip has been well reported for weeks now. I don't think working as an OC under Zimmer is an easy gig. Let's not forget Norv Turner retired to get out of it, only to find himself back as an OC a year later. Zimmer has to be feeling some heat.

cannondale Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 The trick is to find a guy that can be a genius with this roster and the salary cap restraints we will have. Calling Fangio and McVay geniuses hardly impresses me with the talent they have to work with. The Flip situation sounds vaguely familiar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Anonymous Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Polling results for next head coach on this forum were 3 votes DiFlipppo out of 17 cast. On another Packers forum he only got 1 vote out of 48 cast. Good job Packers fans. Now the real candidates can emerge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Flip got a big bump here because of his past with Pettine. I just hope whoever gets it hears him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
