"Sherman got fired for coaching a 4-12 team, comprised of his players less Wahle, Rivera, and Darlene. The reason those three had to go was because Sherman himself as GM/head coach put the team in cap hell. Thusly, when the board of directors hired Ted Thompson and stripped Sherman of his GM duties (which quite frankly, he failed miserably at) they instructed Ted Thompson to get control of the cap, and rebuild, much to the dismay of many spoiled Packer fans."

""1 receiver goes down first week of season"
Most all other WR's & TE's were injured for parts of the year.
#1,2,3,4 & 5 RB's all get hurt.
Ted Thompson's replacement o-lineman are all gone within 2 seasons and never did perform to a working level.
Mike Sherman got fired because it was time for a change.
Not to mention the fact that he was almost forced to use his 1st 2 draft picks on Db's, because 1 M. MacKenzie was imitating T.O. before T.O!!!!
The mid-90's experiment of GM/HC failed miserably throughout the NFL.
Go ask M. Holmgren about that.
What I could never understand was the fact that Ted Thompson gave MS a 2 year extension on his contract and then turned around and fired him.
That just cost The Packers more money.
Ted Thompson seemed to have the team heading in the right direction, but the inability to keep guys in Green Bay(losing them in Fa's), along with some questionable player moves has cost him some support.
This is year 5, time to start putting up more wins than losses.
