Fl0nkerton Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Quote Rhodes was the only candidate that Wolf interviewed last season. At the time, Wolf said he held Florida coach Steve Spurrier in the highest regard but didn't even try to contact him. The Gators' season ended Saturday with a loss to Michigan State in the Citrus Bowl, their third defeat in a row. Another coach who likely would interest Wolf is Bill Parcells, 58, one of Wolf's his closest friends. ESPN reported Monday that Parcells will not return as head coach of the New York Jets next season. A television report Sunday night in New York said Parcells would would visit Green Bay this week. San Francisco 49ers coach Steve Mariucci, the Packers' quarterbacks coach from 1992-'95, might become available if he loses out in a power struggle with general manager Bill Walsh and new ownership. One of the NFL's hottest assistant coaching candidates probably would be Jets defensive coordinator Bill Belichick, but he proved to be a public-relations disaster as coach of the Cleveland Browns from 1991-'95. His teams were 37-45. St. Louis offensive coordinator Mike Martz, 48, has been given substantial credit for the Rams' rise this season. Other candidates might be former Cleveland and Kansas City coach Marty Schottenheimer, who presently is working in television; Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher, who has had major disagreements with ownership; Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak, who was on Wolf's short list last year; and former Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs, whom Wolf said he didn't even try to contact last year. Aaaaand we went with this guy lmao 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did work on the ground game his one year Ahman Green had what 1873 yards? I guess that was about it he has gotten worse though since.

Agreed to a degree. He seems to have burned out now though heck even the CFL doesn't want him. I think Favre and Green covered up some warts as a coach. Green was a monster though with the U71 package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, Sherman was a good coach who was a miserable GM. Could've very well won a SB with Favre, Green and that OL had he been able to draft anything of substance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they gave him personnel guy Mark Hatley to work with, but then Hatley died of a heart attack and the whole thing fell apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 from The Athletic Now that we’re a full eight games into the LaFleur tenure, let’s revisit the conversation on play-calling balance. I’ve documented it well that Mike McCarthy leaned heavily Aaron Rodgers and the passing game over the past few years and drifted away from run/pass balance. McCarthy’s offense was 32nd in rushing attempts, first-and-10 run percentage and overall run percentage in 2018. This season, there has been a drastic improvement in balancing the offensive approach. LaFleur has climbed each of those last-place rankings. The Packers don’t need to lead the NFL in committing to the run, but showing a semblance of balance and keeping defense’s guessing will ultimately alleviate pressure on Rodgers. First-and-10 run percentage 2019: 52.0 percent (18th) 2018: 39.2 percent (32nd) Run-percentage overall 2019: 40.6 percent (18th) 2018: 32.5 percent (32nd) Carries per game 2019: 25.6 (18th) 2018: 20.8 (32nd) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree he should NEVER have been given the GM job. That was not one of Bob Harlan's finest hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
