I also would never ever agree with a owner tanking for draft picks, If I was a season ticket owner I'd sell my tickets

What Rhodes, Sherman, and McCarthy had in common is that all had previously worked for the Packers before being hired as HC. For some reason, that was an important characteristic that Harlan/Wolf/Thompson looked for during those hiring cycles.
thanks for setting me straight on the time frame of the Rooney rule, I will adjust my opinion some, Harlan and Wolf may have thought Rhodes was the best man for the job.NCF wrote: ↑03 Feb 2022 08:34What Rhodes, Sherman, and McCarthy had in common is that all had previously worked for the Packers before being hired as HC.

The Rooney Rule was established in 2003. Rhodes was hired in 1999.
That is how wrong you are.
https://fanbuzz.com/nfl/zac-taylor-wife/Taylor has more than put together a campaign worthy of a Coach of the Year award. His wife, Sarah Sherman, has been his biggest supporter since day one. She knows a little something about coaching at the highest level, too. Her father, Mike Sherman, was an NFL head coach for six years.
Absolutely agree. There are so many limited view seats it's pathetic. Last time I was there I had lower level seats that were about 15 rows back from the beginning of the upper level start point overhang. Any ball that ascended more than 15 ft or so above field level went out of view. There was also a 4'x4' vertical structural support that blocked one end zone.

I mean, seriously. That's how dumbed down some of these arguments seem to be. Complex circumstances whittled down to overly simplistic assumptions. It's exhausting just reading some of it.
Rhodes was our response to the Rooney Rule, why that didn't work out is debatable.
shinning example was a poor choice of wording on my part.
There's stuff posted about this in the Black Monday thread. Harbaugh interviewed but seriously Harbaugh'd it up. Vikings can't announce O'Connell yet because the Rams are still playing. But yes, all reports are that direction. I think they would have gone Harbaugh had he not been such an idiot.

On any given week, you'll argue until you're blue in the face about Lombardi and the Packers organization and their compassion for the black players they took in. You'll highlight how they helped black players with housing, haircuts and whatnot all while the league at large showed wide resistance to integrate fully. You can't sing the team's accolades loud enough.
Now you're here insisting the Packers are a historically racial biased organization.
It's the same with a lot of your positions.
Rodgers is either tirelessly defended or relentlessly vilified depending on what week it is.
The Packers have riches on offense one week and then are barren for talent the next.
I mean, there doesn't seem to be any consistency whatsoever in many of your positions. This team racism charge is just the latest in a long line of your flip-flops. Hell, you could make strong arguments on any given week just by quoting yourself from the previous week.
He must have said something to turn off the Vikes, possibly he caught wind they wherer interested in O;Connell and voiced his dis pleasure of them even thinking of someone elsepaco wrote: ↑03 Feb 2022 13:10There's stuff posted about this in the Black Monday thread.

The HC of a school like Michigan doesn't take a 9 hour interview with an NFL team on National Signing Day unless he's expecting to get the job.

In fact, when I asked my 4-year-old niece what she thought of the name change, her eyes swelled with tears as she lifted her chubby little fist into the sky in a rage so palpable, it could start a revolution: “I can’t take any more of this BIPOC brutalization!”
I thought it was kind of a funny article. About half and half of Babylon Bee style satire, and truth. The truth part is, well, truth, and should have been thought about. But even though it is football, it is still Washington DC so nothing makes sense or is thought out or not worse after it is "fixed." The part about Warren was
