I was surprised, as he kept saying how much he "loved" the kids on the team.
I guess love does have a price.

Texas... if you thought Andersen a poor in game coach, I wonder what adjective you would apply to Bert the Belly. That guy continues to get his ass handed to him with in game decisions.

He knew what got Wisconsin where it was on offense.

I was at least open-minded about Anderson at first, if not enthusiastic. He did bring Aranda, a damn good D Coordinator with him. He proved to be a stiff, though. He was bent on switching to a read option game; I think Barry told him to forget that bad idea - the primary reason he left for what clearly is a less prestigious job.

Without Anderson's idiocy, we likely would NOT have lost to either LSU or Northwestern, thus wasting the performance of a once in a generation player, Melvin Gordon.

Hopefully, Barry will put a little bit more emphasis on the coach's brain this time. The more I think about it, Bevell might be perfect, especially if he could bring along somebody with expertise about the Seahawk defense.

Whatever your opinion of G.A. may be, the fact that the seniors (as Barry claims) begged him to coach is very telling to me.

Barry gets a nice game day check, while overlooking assistant coaches for the honor (even if only for 1 day). If he has a relationship with the athletes such that they want him to coach, it sure seems to me he's micromanaging the football program and I can't help but think would be contributing factors to the last two coaches leaving.

He's an athletic director of a major college program who is now coaching in a bowl game for the 2nd time. If I were a football coach, hell a coach of ANY other athletic team on that campus I'd be pissed right now.

Apparently the new guy will be PAUL CHRYST! That move has my approval - enthusiastically. Chryst was supposedly the brains behind Bielemma. He is a Wisconsin guy all the way; I would assume this is his dream job, and he will be a long term head coach.

Musccy, you said Barry will be "overlooking" the assistant coaches; I assume you mean "looking over" hahaha. That should give him a shot, at least, at retaining Aranda as D Coordinator.

Overall, the news of the past couple of days is GREAT! - IMO.

dfosterf (33m) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (33m) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (35m) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (39m) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (41m) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (41m) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (44m) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (45m) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (46m) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (1h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (1h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (1h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (1h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (3h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (3h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (3h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (18h) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh
Martha Careful (1-Apr) : Too bad camera's can't spot the ball as well.
Mucky Tundra (1-Apr) : So will the chain gang be gone completely or will they still be around as a backup or whatever?
