Talk about cleaning house...

 

[Jerellh528]

Wow. Craziest offseason in memory.

Hundley lost Van Pelt his job lol jk.

 

[Jed12]

Crazy... the front office must of really felt this team should of done better offensively as well, regardless of A Rod.

Not sure how I feel about these 2 as well... hopefully it brings positive change

I’m guessing multiple shut outs is not what they had in mind!!!!

 

[gbgary]

Hundley lost Van Pelt his job lol jk.

and edger...and maybe hastened TT's demise. i think the amount of suck this team had really was revealed when Rodgers went down.

 

[Alex]

I'm kind of surprised AVP was let go. He and Rodgers had a good relationship from what I could tell. I suppose the product Hundley put out there sealed his fate.

 

[Mike McCarthy]

Not sure how anybody is suprised at all about any of these firings. The team was a disaster in all facets this year. Arod carries us to a 4-1 start with a few late drives to pull a couple games out of the fire or it would of been worse that it was. I’m suprised there are people that (so far anyway) have survived this dumpster Fire. Time to bleach everything and see if we can get rid of that smell

 

[azrsx05]

I love it. All of them got complacent. If you want a true change. You clean house.

 

[UK Packer]

Edgar is a Packer Legend in my humble opinion, Alex Van Pelt ex Bills QB....errrr....it was like Brett #4 having a QB coach - oven mitts for a man with asbestos hands - no real need; so what's the point?

 

[weeds]

I have to admit that THIS is what needed to happen. Hundleys performance had everything with Alex's demise. Edgar? I'd bet he's reassigned within the organization.

 

[Zartan]

Talk about a house cleaning. Rodgers sure covered alot of that up when he went out everyone got exposed.

 

[pacmaniac]

Do we go after Joe Philbin? Our offensive has been good since he left, but not quite as explosive as when he was here.

 

[weeds]

Yeah, well... I called him Bubba... You know, he's Breee-tish...

 

[Spanky]

Hundley needs to go with them.

Yeah, he's been reassigned. It's starting to look like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic- no one is really fired, just 'reassigned'. And the replacements being mentioned? In house, or have been here before, like McAdoo and Philbin. The word 'incestuous' could be applied to this organization.

 

[C-Lee]

Edgar? I'd bet he's reassigned within the organization.

Expect him to go back to WR coach

 

[AmishMafia]

Hope we keep Bennet. He' a good guy and a great position coach. When he was RB coach, levens, green all did well and the backups were good. When he was WR coach we had great receivers. The man knows football. As a coordinator you are suddenly responsible for a staff and game planning. Not everyone can make the transition as different skills are needed.

 

[HardRightEdge]

This shake up is overdue. Too many people got too comfortable in the insular Packer bubble where making the playoffs was good enough and the distaste for losing was not strong enough.

Most of all McCarthy. Seems like he is suddenly looking at this differently. Hope this is reflected in the play on the field next season.

Conversely, how about them Bengals? They extended Marvin Lewis despite not winning a post season game in 15(ish) years as head coach. Holy shizzha!

Well, folks tend to have a rigid hierarchical view of how decisions are made: the GM has complete decision making power over player personnel, the head coach has complete decision making over coaches.

Maybe McCarthy has not been enamored of Capers or having guys like Bennett getting promoted into positions they don't actually hold. Maybe that was Thompson's doing, not wanting to shake things up, promoting guys to give them pay raises so they don't leave, keeping things stable and comfey.

We'll never know unless somebody writes a tell-all book. One thing is for sure: you'd be hard pressed to find any organization where the boss sits back and says nothing while letting his reports have free reign. We call that a stuffed suit and they don't last very long.

As for Marvin Lewis, I do not know the situation well enough to comment.

Please hire an OC who will call the plays. Let McCarthy be the head coach.

Saw that McAdoo and Philbin are options?

Between that and Russ Ball, can the Packers think outside the box at all or are they just so tied to this Packer nepotism and have to hire/re-hire old faces?

Not going to get worked up until the people are actually picked. Maybe they make terrible hires. With a guy like ball we have no idea if he is similar to tt. He could have a very different vision to get players. None of us have any idea
