And he is also apparently a big time chiefs fan somehow. I know it’s weird I’m a Green Bay fan but I don’t cheer for any other team unless it involves gambling Terrible poster
That’s not true, he lives in KC and roots for them outside of Bears but doesn’t ride or die with them at all.
What’s the point of professional sports making you miserable? Spoiler PSU does enough of that and they’re on my diploma
It’s a crapshoot of coordinators this year. Let’s hope this guy can work wonders for Rodgers like he helped do for Goff and Ryan. And please hire a good defensive coach or retain Mike.
I was disgusted when we brought Doug on board. Not sure there is any way that anyone can tell how a person will be as a HC, unless they are retreads or named Bill Belichick. I think the more important part is knowing when the fit isn't right and to begin the reboot. Finally, not sure how anyone who likes or watched the Packers would not be excited by this. Regardless of how the Titans looked, they are at least moving into the current decade offensively.
kinda where my thinking is McCarthy was so medieval offensively that even a moderately-innovative offensive coach will be a huge upgrade
he legitimately forgot what a slant route was; it was infuriating. People can complain about Aaron all they want but I'd be livid too if the only time my coach ever game me easy throws was hitting the checkdown on 3rd & long. It was laughable to me people complaining about Aaron never hitting the checkdown on 3rd & long like this league isn't full of 6'2 240lb freaks that close all that space that's seemingly open in All-22s.
You can laugh, but Marcus is always hurt (and has been marginal when healthy for 4 years) and the backup was Blaine fucking Gabbert. Throwing to shitty wideouts and losing your good tight end during week 1? Titans certainly have personal problems as much as they want to blame the coaching.
Yeah, all of those things were issues for sure, but if you watched the games he was very uninspiring as a play-caller and the first halves were especially bad.
I’m not making a prediction either way, but the last game I saw Blaine Gabbert was throwing to wide open players and hitting the Colts.
He wasn't terrible, and by no means was I calling for him to get fired but I just find it hilarious that the Packers hired an OC with two years of coordinator experience where the one year he was calling plays his offense was a bottom third offense. I like the Packers and Rodgers a lot so I hope it works out. Just seems like a big time reach.
I’ll say this again MM was the OC of the 49ers that was 32nd that year and couldnt throw a td pass to save their lives. I’m glad he’s gone, but he won a super bowl. Maybe this wont be the outcome this time around, but our last coach proved this way of thinking very wrong.
He had a 5 year track record as OC where the previous 4 years he had offenses in the top 14 with one top 3 finish. I agree with your point that being a bad OC doesnt mean you can't be a good HC, but when trying pair someone up with my still very good, but aging QB I wouldn't want to take a risk on a guy like Lefauer. Even Kingsbury has SOMETHING to point to you, like at least his offenses were very good when calling plays.
This could easily be me drinking the cool aid... ...but a buy in from Rodgers is the biggest thing. He has passive aggressively trashed the offensive philosophy for a couple of years. I wouldn't at all be surprised if he expressed an interest in the McVey/Shanahan style and that is the direction they went. LaFleur is a guy that has climbed fast so people must like his overall aptitude as a coach. If the leadership side works I think we will be fine. Now all we need is talent
Not full but Hope this is useful to anyone that couldn’t watch the introduction, or as a basis for some friendly discussion. Feel free to add anything you thought was important in the comments if I left it out! During interview process: Murphy and crew met with 9 player leaders on the team to discuss qualities they wanted in a new coach and problems from past season Interviewed Lafleur last but made sure not to be using recency bias in their preference for him. Made sure that they all slept on their decision. ‘Didn’t want to hire best interviewer. Wanted to hire the best candidate’ Lafleur: Will continue play calling Pettine not OFFICIALLY being kept as DC, they will be “meeting soon” Did talk to Rodgers prior to hiring Wants “ball hawking defense that will create turnovers” Special teams philosophy: “penalty free aggression” Has not fully started looking for the rest of his staff, “I just got here last night” Thinks his relationship with Rodgers will be based on communication and trust, cites developing relationship with Matt Ryan in Atlanta even though Ryan had been in the league for 8 years already. Will still be reporting to Murphy, just like McCarthy did at the end.
[McGinn] Joe Philbin has been granted permission by the #Packers to interview for the offensive line job with the #Vikings. Philbin spent 10 yrs. in GB, including 2018 as OC for 12 games and interim HC for four games. Minn looking for permanent replacement for the late Tony Sparano. Please make this come true
My reply to a Packers beat writer on twitter, ‘A dog pointing at special teams strategy and practice drills on a paper>>Ron Zook.’ A 5 minute pop-in-the-tapes of any game and this has to be immediately apparent to LaFleur, especially with his ‘penalty free aggression’ statement.
Enjoyed Murphy's "bullshitted" comment Supposedly the Vikings are looking at hiring OL coach James Campen. He and Joe Whitt are the two guys I'd want us to retain.
Wilde was talking about how members of the media had a sit down with Matt after the presser. Someone asked something along the lines of, what if Aaron doesn’t like one of your plays? LaFleur responded with “If he doesn’t like one of our plays that’s fine. We’ll cross it off and we don’t have to run it. We have a lot of plays”
