They may not publicly bash the guy, but they certainly won't go to bat for the person. Most people will just keep their mouth shut if they don't have anything good to say.

You aren't wrong on that comment However, if we're a bit more clever, we can get closer to The Truth Here's an example: If I ask you: "Who are the bestest or smartest posters in the Titletown forum ?" - you'll give me your Top 5-7 guys/gals, likely without bias However, if I ask: "What do you think of Norm ?"... I might get a different answer. Everybody loves Norm - but I biased your answer by naming him When these coaches, assistants, scouts get together, they talk and they know who's good or bad. That's what's happening at the East-West game, the Senior Bowl, Combine, Draft, Pro Bowl etc. They're drinking beer and telling tales, just like us Pretty soon you keep hearing the same guys' names coming up and then you add them to your List for further eval. Gute didn't start scouting potential HC's in December when MM was fired, he's been doing it for 20+ years Its reasonable to be skeptical of the fluffery, but let's not ignore all the talk going on behind the scenes - in candid and informal conversations around the league The NFL community is small and tight knit - they know who is brilliant, average, bad or a butthead long before the official search commences 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Chances are, this franchise will have to do a full reboot when Rodgers retires anyway. So we really just have to hope that the coaches during the remainder of his career can make it work with Aaron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s ok. When these things happen we want the new head coach to be the most ideal version: smart, inspiring, calm, reasonable, and the most competitive sunuvabitch ever. But they’re never what we hope for, not 100% anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 former coach Brian Billick talks about AR learning a new language after 13 years in the same system From the time they start their offseason program to the first preseason game in August, what will be the biggest area of growth for the Rodgers-LaFleur relationship? The biggest thing is verbiage, getting comfortable with the verbiage. It’s like teaching another language. A veteran player will pick up the concepts very quickly, but like when you learn a language, you can speak a language, but are you thinking the language? When they get to that point where, OK, here’s the concept that LaFleur is running and here’s what they call it and what they do, initially Aaron is going to go, ‘Oh, OK, that was our this.’ He’ll translate it in his mind. Your 22 Z-In, to use a Bill Walsh term, is our 816 Y-Clear, to use verbiage from Joe Gibbs. Same play, but it’s called something different. So when he stops thinking 22 Z-In is 816 Y-Clear and just knows immediately and doesn’t have to translate it … that’s when they’ll start to accelerate the process.

Not sure we have a guy on the roster (yet) that can be the H-Back in a 2 back set but that is a dominating run formation id love to see. Aaron Jones in the pistol formation could be deadly.

Aaron Jones ran last season like he was in the zone blocking scheme. MLF is bringing in the zone blocking scheme. Imagine what Aaron Jones can do with actual zone blocking.
