Our former coach is probably the best of the bunch. It was just time to move on though .. It was a sinking ship and the team had tuned him out. Some think that John Harbaugh could still be had .. Some think Mike Tomlin could be available soon. Both of those guys are in McCarth's class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQ1 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 IF Tomlin were to become available I’d think the Packers would jump at the chance to interview him. He’d be my top guy...at least for the moment. ( - ; # Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Can be interviewed right now: Caldwell, Pagano, Kubaik, DeFilippo, Riley, Pettine, Ryan, Philbin Likely to be available for interview next week: Fitzgerald, Peterson, Shaw, Herman, Campbell, Manuel, Woods, Leonard, Monken, Morris, Gase, Bowles, Rizzi Can't interview until playoffs end: Toub, McDaniels, Fangio, Richard, Bieniemy, Stefanski, Witsenhunt, Glenn, Siranni, Allen. Carmichael, LaFleur, Lombardi, Schwartz, Next week is going to be important as College coaches will become available for interview. There's very few NFL candidates who team is out of the playoff picture or is likely to be fired on Black Monday. The big names such as Toub, McDaniels and Fangio will not be available for at least another week. There are some on the list that could suddenly become available next week if their team fail to make the wild card slot such as Stefanski, Schwartz, Siranni and LaFleur. I can't wait to see which college head coach we have successfully managed to bring in for an interview. My gut feeling is that Fitzgerald will be one of them as there's no smoke without fire. I think Shaw will the other interview candidate as he should be nearing the end of his contract extension he signed with Stanford in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mac and Rodgers had no history, I actually agree that Mac would be the right coach for GB to hire. What Mac did with Favre is exactly what Rodgers needs at this point in his career.

This. Personally, with or without Michigan's latest crushing loss, I’d be quite surprised if Green Bay has/had any interest in Harbaugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know very little about him beyond that he has some history with Murphy. I assume you know the general traits already—he has a strong relationship with Mark Murphy, he has an impeccable character, he shows great leadership, and he has an uncanny ability to compete on the field with access to fewer blue chip players than the other teams in the conference. Beyond that, I suspect, but I do not know for a fact, that he is able to game plan to capitalize on opponents weaknesses and then communicate and teach a game plan to his players. Personally I think he stays where he is despite a full court press by Murphy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopackgo27 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Fitzgerald as HC, Caldwell as OC, Pettine as DC, see if Fitz can steal his former QB Kafka as QBs coach/pass game coordinator. Profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Profit. I dig it! I really like Fitzgerald .. he's a class act, and a great teacher. He would oversee all facets instead of having his nose in the play sheet week after week. Fitzgerald is a program builder. I really think the Packers want a coaching CEO instead of a offensive innovator. Fitzgerald would be more of a tone setter, teacher, and motivator type. An OC like Caldwell would allow Rodgers to take the next step into Peyton Manning territory when it comes to running an offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
