Don't even talk to me about he didn't have anybody and everybody was hurt. We had a pretty healthy team for the early part of the year and still gave up 30 points to the Niners - AT HOME. Capers had teams far more decimated than Pettine and Pettine's defense was about the same. Hey I listed a bunch of guys I think I'd prefer I've pettine. Kinda hoping for a McDaniels/Spags combo.

Capers had teams far more decimated than Pettine and Pettine's defense was about the same. For me, it's about continuity. You essentially wasted this year with the players learning his defense if you switch. Now if the Packers are going to change their D philosophy and go predominantly 4-3 or a Seattle type scheme to fit our current DB makeup (which I'dlike to see), then I'm fine letting Pettine walk. But if we are going to run basically the same defense, just with a few new parts, I think you stick with Pettine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Penske Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 The thing about Lafluer is that his offensive resume is impressive with the exception of this year in TN when he was calling the shots. 27th ranked offense there? Woof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could live with something like Fitzgerald as HC, Gase as OC and Pettine as DC. I just have no idea what kind of staff Fitzgerald would put together, given his limited ties to the NFL. I would think that if Fitzgerald became the HC, Mike Kafka would have a role in the offense. Kafka played at NW for Fitzgerald. Not sure if he is ready to be an OC, but he is very highly thought of for his intelligence since his playing days in the NFL as a backup QB. He played with the Eagles, Patriots, Jaguars, Buccaneers, Vikings, Titans, and Bengals so there could be ties to coaches there too. He also could follow Dave Toub if he were hired somewhere.

MaximusGluteus Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I really hope NE convinces McDaniels to stay, then Belichick retires at the end of the season, and McDaniels takes over and runs that franchise into the ground instead of the Packers.

The rumor is he has highly thought of assistant coaches lining up to follow him here... if he takes the job. Im curious who this all star group of coaches would be.

He runs a fantastic offense and is very creative. If he can't spark our languishing offense nobody can. I really do think he is easily a top 3 OC in this league, and his work with a high profile QB like Brady is a big plus for this Packers job in particular. I think Rodgers is a guy that will instantly buy in if he has respect for the offensive acumen of the head coach. Rodgers himself has said he loves to be challenged and coached .. and he wasn't getting that any longer from McCarthy. I think it's amazing that Rodgers and McCarthy were able to co-exist for as long as they did. It took Rodgers over a decade of starting to finally want to run McCarthy out of town .. that amount of patience is actually pretty astounding. I actually think McDaniels will come in and instantly add wrinkles that will elevate Rodgers game. Rodgers needs some reprogramming, but at the end of the day I think he badly wants to win .. and will take to a new challenge. He's a gamer deep down, and wants to be the best. I think a big part of the problems the past year or so is that he lost confidence in McCarthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That to me is the ultimate question no matter who we get. Rodgers is turning into what Favre turned into at the end. If he buys in, we are going to be one tough team to beat.

MacReady Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Rodgers would demand trade I feel McDaniels tried to get him to throw to running backs on a consistent basis. Let's hire McDaniels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However.....based on a combination not knowing the bulk of these HC candidates - not overly excited about this Northwestern guy (who's already dissed the Packers) and thinking we need somebody with the b*** to put Mr. AR in his place - I've decided to cast the past aside (or at least let my opinions rest easy.....) - and let the future decide my thoughts. I'd prefer McDaniels get hired as HC. Perhaps you can come up with a second offer? We seem to wandered on to the same destination regards McDaniels - but the allure of your never posting here again....is enticing! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
