First off the BOD doesn't control as much as you've been posting. Yes I've read McGinn, I'am a subscriber because his weekly grades and scouts are still miles ahead of that garbage the Gannetts goons put out.

But to the question, Murphy was forced into this in my opinion AFTER the Browns snatched up Dorsey. They beat him to the punch.(wake up call) Before this Murphy has for the most part let the ship run. He was tasked to get the Titletown district up and running and other business issues to keep Green bay financially stable in the long term.

He has done so and the BOD has shown that they do trust him. Much of the opinion you and I and everyone is basing opinions on isn't "sources' but of opinions of people in and or around the organization. So while I love the discussion and added traffic this causes I am also sure that most of it is smoke and mirrors ment to create clicks.

Mark Murphy love him or hate him isn't going anywhere soon. He will hire a GM who will structure the football operations his way. Mike McCarthy will be the coach in 2018. Beyond that business as usual.

68...Are you sure Mike McCarthy is the coach THIS year much less "beyond"? McGinn wrote of MM's disgust with Ted not going for it. In his presser he spoke loud and clear about doing enough to win WORLD championships, not divisional or conference.

I love this whole thing. It has shown a giant light on the issues I've been on about for years.

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."

Ball with Gunt or Wolf as Asst GM in charge of personal could work out just fine however the big elephant in the room is fixing a lousy defense and keeping #12 upright. If they can't do that then Mike McCarthy will be interviewing for a job himself this time next year.

Wow. You know for sure Mike McCarthy is the coach this year. I think if you watched the presser you saw a guy who kept saying: IT HAS TO FIT FOR ME, TOO What was that all about? McGinn and Wilde don't appear to be having anything blown. If the fit is not what Mike McCarthy wants then...what? I think that is the scenario both McGinn and Wilde are reporting on. Mike McCarthy doesn't want Russ as Russ ain't going to be about winning SB's just like Ted before him.

How can you conclude Mike McCarthy is the coach for certain given what happened to Mike Sherman? The quiet extension which still makes no sense, BTW, may have been a golden parachute. A thank you, if you will, for years of loyal complicit service. Can anyone come up with a reason MM's one year extension wasn't announced until after Ted was out of the way?

There is a rotten stench coming off of 1265. If Mike McCarthy thought the manure smell was bad...

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?
