Green Bay Packers - Fired McCarthey - Page 249 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Yes this is what my thoughts are more or less.

MM does his coaching evaluation probably next week. The said part is that some top notch defensive coordinators have been hired already like Phillips or Gus Bradley. What about Rex Ryan? Probably someone MM wouldn't consider like ever. Dom Capers is 66, maybe he'll retire. Wishful thinking I know.

That is one thing I don't like about the NFL, teams should not be able to interview/hire coaches until the off-season. Obviously if you fire a coach and have internal candidates that is one thing, but I think there should be a coach deadline similar to the free agency deadline where you can't hire outside of the organization until after the superbowl or something like that. It also hurts teams who are in the playoffs as their coaches are distracted by interviews instead of focusing on helping their team win.

I just read some quotes from MM's press conference today and I'm pretty tilted. It sounds like Capers is staying, which is shocking yet not shocking at all.

"This is no time for drama. Dom Capers is an outstanding football coach. He had a tough challenge this year …I feel really good about the coaching job that our staff did."

It's more so MM's overall attitude that rubs me the wrong way. I would like to hear more "we need to do better" and less "everything is going in the right direction." He's so defensive and it makes me even less confident in him.

Lol. "Let’s state the facts: I’m a highly successful NFL coach. Everyone agrees."

It's like when the Brewers fired their bullpen coach.

Odds of Rodgers playing in another Super Bowl for the Packers?

expected but sad, Packers release Sam Shields. Adios to the only speed in our defensive backfield. Good career but obviously cut way short by injury. Glad he got paid before he left, dude made 10 million a year for a few years. From what I heard he's a really good guy.

I'll never forget this play. Pure make up speed.

Even though no longer playing for the Packers, Tramon Williams also released by the Browns. The 2010-11 team becoming a distant memory.

I think a lot of packer fans are being overly optimistic on this free agency. our first or second best pass rusher is a FA and we lost our #1 corner. Matthews is getting older and is always banged up.we also have the most unsigned guys

then you look at the cap space and we're just around average and have half as much as the top teams. I'm okay with going with a big number on a short term contract for one of the corners but I think we are pretty committed to Randall and Rollins being better next year. I completely disagree with all the talk that the Packers need to be very aggressive. there are times to do it but unfortunately I don't think we are in that spot.

It's frustrating watching the Super Bowl winners and one of the best dynasties ever continue to go after players to improve their team while the Packers change nothing because they won the NFC North quit being greedy.

This is all I can think of watching this team in free agency every year.
