Now that Thompson's seat has unexpectedly opened, Mike Florio over at ProFootballTalk seems to think both John Dorsey and John Schneider are going to regret signing on (or in Schneider's case, re-upping with) their respective teams. I tend to think they're feeling just fine about their decisions. Unless Dorsey is able to work a complete culture change in Cleveland, it's not like he's probably long for that job anyway. He'll be able to move on soon enough. 😝 As for Schneider, it's not likely that Paul Allen would have felt inclined to release him anyway, and he's in a great situation with an organization that has been a perennial contender for several years now. I imagine he's comfortable right where he's at.

You know, I've had my suspicions for years about Ted Thompson. He's always given off that gender-bender vibe, you know? I have to admire him for his courage in finally coming out and embracing his true identity.

What if the new GM, wants a new head coach?

Would a new general manager lose anything by giving McCarthy one year to prove himself under a new regime? With the defensive coordinator and the general manager out (even granting the possibility that Thompson was mostly a figurehead the past year), that's arguably a lot of turmoil for an organization to deal with all at once.

However, if they promote from within, it's likely that the new GM will give Mike an honest chance.

As for John Schneider, I believe Pete Carroll has officially has "final control of the 53-man roster"... I wonder if a GM job officially offering "final control of the 53-man roster" would be a promotion. If so, they might be allowed to hire John Schneider though a loophole, though it would most likely be frown upon. But even if they could do that (which I'm not sure of)... I'm guessing they're simply going to hire Wolf.

Well that’s certainly good news.
Hopefully he will have no influence over anything.
I still don’t think he knows where he is from day to day.

Who hires the DC? Mike McCarthy or the new GM. It would seem to me to be MM.

If you were an experienced DC, you would not want to come into an organization where your boss might be gone in a year. Accordingly, don't be surprised to see Mike McCarthy get extended for at least a year or two before any decision on DC is made. The delay caused by negotiations could be costly.

The only exception is if an internal candidate is named.

Mucky Tundra (5h) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (7h) : HUMP DAY

beast (7h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (7h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (8h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (8h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (8h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (8h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

Zero2Cool (8h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (10h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (10h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (10h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (10h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (10h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (23h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
