cannondale Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Never want to see someone fired, but Capers is a fool not to have about 50 million in the bank so I don't feel bad at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWood21 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Just now, cannondale said: Well that's the next million dollar question. You can't interview before the season is over, but you gotta believe MM has put feelers out ? On the other hand MM has had his hands full with Rodgers / Hundley / games etc so I have no clue. Worse case scenario is we can hit the ground running on the interview process I'd be shocked if the Packers didn't ask to interview potential candidates. Obviously teams that are playing in Wild Card weekend are probably going to block interviews, but teams who have a bye (PHI, MIN, NE, PIT) are probably going to be more willing to let their coaches interview. I'd imagine that Minnesota will block any and all interviews though, so let's assume they're out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gunna cry like a baby when McCarthy is done. Rumor has it that McCarthy is getting an extension. I guess we will see if it's one of those Caldwell extensions.

CWood21 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 At this point, either Gus Bradley or Vic Fangio are fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltarich87 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 This frustrating season at least has a positive end to it. Change was needed and this is a move that IMO was a few yrs overdo. Rather than tear the guy down though I'll thank him for helping in bringing another title to GB. The defense that yr was phenomenal. Rapoport already linking Fangio to GB and it would make a lot of sense. He learned under Capers so it would be a smooth transition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Fangio isn't that exciting to me, he's older too, how much longer until we're back in the same boat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's the guy that can hit the ground running without any major transition needed for scheme or personnel - fine by me if its short term. He had the Bears in the Top 10 in both yards and points this year. My only preference is to not promote from within. Other than that, I'll trust the process 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexGreen#20 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 This is an example of the unfortunate realities of life in the NFL. The move had to be made, but it seems wrong to celebrate something like this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Rodgers just turned 34 a few weeks ago. We're likely talking about a good 3-5 yr window left here. McCarthy is also going on the last yr of his deal(though I'd expect him to get another extension). I don't think he wants to go with a young, unproven guy hoping to strike gold. Fangio is well known and respected. He had those Niners defenses near the top of the league every yr and has a less than talented Bears defense outperforming it's personnel IMO In any case, there won't be a shortage of candidates available so if there's a time for a change at DC it's now. Could see as many as 8-9 HC openings around the league, which will make plenty of assistants there for the choosing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be ok w/ it. Not like you're looking for a 10yr guy necessarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltarich87 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Shanahan wanted to bring Fangio to the Niners last season but the Bears blocked it. Could be a potential landing spot for him in 2018. http://ninerswire.usatoday.com/2017/01/19/report-49ers-tried-to-bring-back-vic-fangio-bears-blocked-it/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannondale Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Don't know if the ownership status has stabilized in San Francisco, but regardless, I gotta think we have a more attractive situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakeshoppe Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Opinions I've been reading have been that Fangio's availability for us probably depends on what kinds of terms we're on with Capers as he leaves. Since the two are close, Capers could either be his foot in the door here or if things are soured between Capers and the FO, it could be a turn-off for Fangio. I have to imagine that at this point, Capers knew there weren't really many other offers and knowing TT, I'd think the departure would be a graceful one.
