At first I thought eh I don't like this. Then again, they don't know whom they are going to play so it won't affect much, right?

I'm worried it might be a distraction.

I'm surprised this is even allowed when a team is still in the hunt. Have there ever been cases of a coach or coordinator leaving for another team in the middle of a season or postseason run?

I believe this is pretty common simply due to the fact that teams want to hire their staff as soon as possible. If the Packers go the Super Bowl and win, most teams will have their important positions filled and any coaches looking for promotions will be out of luck. Several teams are doing this I believe, including the offensive coordinator of the Falcons, Panthers, etc. I don't think it's a huge distraction, but not ideal either. McCarthy will have this offense grooving either way.

Edit: Also, teams have to receive permission from the Packers to speak with their staff as well. No one would be leaving their job until the season is over either. It's just an interview. Perhaps they could get the job but they would still be expected to finish the season with their current team. I don't see it being much different than looking for another job while you're still at the current one, with the exception of your employer knowing about it 😉

See? This is what I've been saying all along. People hate working for Ted Thompson and just want to get away as fast as possible. The Packers will never be able to bring in quality personnel as long as that sepulchral Ted Thompson haunts the front office.

While I wouldn't say that Ted Thompson is loyal in the sense that buckeyepackfan is loyal (and frankly, I'm thankful for that), he certainly favors promoting from within whenever possible. It has proven to be an effective strategy for him.

Thanks for making me laugh out loud in the middle of McDonalds, dick. [ass]

You do have a point, though. Law No. 2 of The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene is Never put too much trust in friends; learn how to use enemies. He points out that the most dangerous people you can use as advisors or partners is your friends, because friends almost always harbor secret resentment for the favors you do them, since they hate the feeling of being beholden to you, while you never have to worry about your enemies' motives because you know they hate you and are bound to you by the grace you have bestowed upon them for not crushing them. He says that powerful leaders have always known that the most reliable advisors are the ones you know hate your guts. It's an interesting point. I know in my life, some of the best advice I've ever received was from people who loathed me, while the people who have fucked me the worst were my own friends. We tend to have a huge blind spot for our friends, while we're always on the alert when our enemies are around.

It's the same principle for why I thought George W. Bush would be a terrible president: Conservatives would assume all was well with the world and would roll over and go to sleep, allowing Bush free rein to do whatever he wanted. That's exactly what ended up happening.

He's interviewing with Miami  now too. Another team that could use Flynn...
