Packers expect Dom Capers, Ted Thompson back; former play-caller Tom Clements out.

This is no time for drama," McCarthy said. "Dom Capers is an outstanding football coach. That doesn’t change. He had a tough challenge in front of him this year. Once again, the coaching staff dealt with a lot."

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I don't mind Ted coming back I think he knows how to build a team well, but if hes bringing capers back then I'm ready to board the fire ted bandwagon.

Now I wish we never made the playoffs in the first place if it was going to keep Capers job. I'm more angry now then I was after the Falcons game!

Dom will be around as long as he wants and if we just happen to win another one in the next few years they will use that as justification that they were right all along. Meanwhile, some of us will wonder how many chances were squandered do to their insistence to stay the same all the time?

It's clear our management needs saving from itself. Where are you Mark Murphy to put a stop to all this?

I figured Capers and Thompson would be back, but I'm not happy about it.

I was thinking a lot about MM's comments regarding Dom Capers and his seeming love affair with his DC. There's little doubt that Dom knows more about defense than most of the guys out DCing in the NFL. However, this is the problem with our club. Knowledge of defense and experience with it is NOTHING if you aren't passionate and a great communicator. I would guess Dom communicates just fine. My inkling is he has no spark, no zip. All his knowledge and experience is pretty meaningless if he doesn't have the passion.

That is the word I would use to best describe our failings. Passion, or lack thereof. MM is comfortable in his job as is Dom and Ted. You've got a calcified structure in Green Bay that feels no urgency. Now, I'm reading that Mark Murphy might be the one behind the chatter we're going to go for it this year. Murphy, Thompson, McCarthy, Capers all have one thing in common. None of them inspire me whatsoever. Listening to anything they have to say is flatline on the EKG meter. Where is someone who inspires in our organization. We have a bunch of comfortable, mechanical pieces. It takes one spark to start a whole blaze. Where is our spark? Rodgers doesn't have it either...Clay? Nope. Who has this ingredient? Kevin Greene had it. We need his type of passion or crazy. Wolf had it..Holmgren was fiery. Brett was a sold out warrior. This entire bunch of Packers from the top onto the field is just a colorless group of guys. I loved Aaron and wanted Brett gone so he could play but I remember when that happened I just felt like we lost our aura. That little something extra we need is passion. I hope and pray there is a new fiery star player coming to Green Bay or a front office type. Just something that can drive this emotionless group of men toward a title.

Zero2Cool (16h) : new site fan shout post fast
wpr (19h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.
wpr (19h) : Only 4
wpr (19h) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (22h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (22h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
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.
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.
