Would be crazy... can't remember a time a new HC came in and kept both coordinators. I really wonder if this is gonna happen. Does Philbin know the type of offense LaFleur wants to run? Most of us are happy Pettine is staying. He did a decent job with our defense until players started dropping like flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

game3525 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 That is a good thing if true. They need to reign Rodgers in. It will make their offense more consistent and it will also extend his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not Cleveland, but i'd have thought the Packers HC job would be pretty attractive to some pretty qualified folks. I kid mostly. I'm surprised by it, and don't exactly see the reasoning there. But who knows...maybe it's one of those situations where the people "in the know" see more than meets the eye there? Somehow? Somewhere? Yes it is probably a situation where GBs FO knows more about the candidates than FF posters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly, Pettine was one of the guys that LaFleur mentioned as his DC, and I think the Packers' FO views him highly. His seat probably gets a bit more warm if there isn't improvement.

BayRaider Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I don’t understand this hire, his offense was terrible last year calling the plays? Not like he didn’t have great talent either. Without Henrys two big games it’d be the 31st ranked offense in the league ahead of only the Cardinals. He was #1 with the Rams but it was McVays Offense and McVay calling the plays, his role was more of an assissant and QB coach. I’m assuming McVay put in a really good word for him and gave him a ton of interview tips. I don’t think it’s a good hire... but ARod will make the playoffs with whoever his coach is.

Mariota borderline but he’s middle of the pack at least when healthy. 31st just doesn’t make sense if you’re competant at your job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariota borderline but he’s middle of the pack at least when healthy. Gabbert played significant snaps in 5 games and I'm guessing Mariota wasn't healthy for all the games he played. That and Walker out for the year early just doesn't scream great talent to me. Fine to criticize that the offense didn't rank well, I just think the injuries played a pretty big role in that as well.

McVays first year as OC for Washington yielded the 28th ranked offense. I can't imagine how down on McVay you would have been! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariota borderline but he’s middle of the pack at least when healthy. 31st just doesn’t make sense if you’re competant at your job. How many Titans are starting for the Packers? Corey Davis and Taylor Lewan are probably the only guarantees, but you could make an argument for Jack Conklin as one of the guards. Derrick Henry has a great 2 game stretch, but people will ignore he's been rather pedestrian outside of that. On a per rush basis, Aaron Jones was more productive than Derrick Henry mainly because Mike McCarthy refused to utilize Aaron Jones. You could make an argument for either one, but I don't think either one is clearly better than the other. And the difference between Rodgers and Mariota is like the size of the Pacific Ocean.

malak1 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Sheesh. I hope he’s as nervous calling plays in crunch time as he appeared to be in that presser today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
