From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
Palmy - "Very few have the ability to truly excel regardless of system. For many the system is the difference between being just a guy or an NFL starter. Fact is, everyone is talented at this level."
I didn't feel strongly that we needed to can him, but I gotta say, seeing this headline brought a smile to my face.
Despite half the league having a head start over us, there haven't been many coaches hired yet, just Mayo in NE which was a lock from the start, and Callahan in TEN, an O guy. There should be plenty of quality D-Coord candidates, and GB should be an attractive destination.
Thing is, we need to make a run 2024-26, so I'd like a guy who doesn't need to learn on the job too much.

spot on we need teachers not learners, players learn, coaches teach
Jaire took down that Insta post very close to the time of this development. He must have heard the good news.
Yeah, unfortunately evidence is starting to pile up against him. There is a fine line between a good healthy swagger and being a diva. It seems to be going the wrong way. I hope I'm wrong on that one.
Awesome, did not expect that after the D played well toward the end of the season.
They played well to end last season. All the talk was it was our time to have a Top-10 defense. 27th (according to yoop's data above)? That just is not good enough and too little, too late.
I will also add that in both playoff losses to SF, you can make the argument that the defense was the best unit between O, D, and ST, but what happened in each game when SF had the ball last? They got whatever they wanted to win the game.

Now we know that this group can do it. Talent is adequate and young, and expected to get better and a lot of draft capital and even ample cap space to get a starter.
Just need a guy who will not give us those lows we’ve seen far too often, more consistency.
This was the right move. From a risk standpoint, there isn't a huge drop off potential. We were around a 20th ranked defense and I would say we are that with any other bad DC.
On the high side, we could be much more. Timing is also right. Get your system in now to build for the new window.
Personally, we are seeing the exotic defenses doing better than the vanilla defenses. So I am hoping we trend in that direction. On a player side though, we will need improvement at the safety spot to allow the front 7 to eat more.
I would like to see a system that is more aggressive in the middle and for QBs to test our boundary corners.
Always wonder on a move like this, if it really truly was simply in a vacuum. Just decided he isn't the right guy, then now starting from scratch looking for a guy.
Or if he was looking at the lot of guys available, maybe even has had some private initial conversations with potential targets to gauge mutual interest, if that played into it.
Guess is doesn't matter, just would always love to be a fly on the wall for this kind of stuff.

Agreed. I'm hoping he already has a candidate or very short list of candidates in mind, much like the Bucks just pulled off with Doc Rivers yesterday.
