I think he's all about the chemistry. He has on occasion done very well as a head coach with horseshit for a roster...but they all play hard for him. If he were to replace Capers, I'd be all for it. MCarthy isn't afraid to hire the "big gun" to run the defense for him, either.

To be honest, though, I think a few teams looking for a head coach next year might want to hire him...like Atlanta, Oakland or even the Giants.

I'm not against Rex coming to Green Bay but I just don't "feel" it.
I do feel strongly that there absolutely needs to be change in Green Bay on the defensive side of the ball.
They can't change out all the players but they can, and should, make changes in the defensive coaching staff.

rex would make one heck of a dee coordinator, he might not be the best head coach, but the guy knows defense, and after watching capers all these yrs , its time to let someone with great experience take over !!

I just don't see it happening... Rex doesn't seem like he's the normal type of coach they bring in and while Rex has a great scheme it's all about creating pressure with the front guys and leaving the back end on islands at times and getting aggressive.

But if you look at the Packers games against both Rex Ryan (Jets) and Rob Ryan (Saints) this year, you'll see aggressive defenses aren't always good against good QBs, and Rob Ryan was willing and able to back off the aggressiveness and go with a conservative approach which didn't stop the Packers but did slow them down, while Rex put stayed aggressive and got burned because of it.


Rex has a great scheme but so do a number of defensive coaches in the NFL... only thing that makes Rex different is that he's a super cocky loud mouth and it's clear how that's effected the Jets... first couple of years it gave them something to build around and boosted them, but then as the players got used to it, wears off and becomes a negative.


Only than giving the players more fire under their butts, I'm not sure Rex would be any better than Capers, and Rex stubbornness to change his aggressiveness up is a negative, sometimes you need to back off and not always be aggressive.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : 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.
