Noooooooooo!

The Packers could be replacing their Super Bowl winning coach with a coach who has taken a team to a Super Bowl. According to multiple league sources, former Lions and Colts coach Jim Caldwell has interviewed for the Green Bay opening. Caldwell coached the Colts from 2009 through 2011, and he then served as head [more]

Would rather Eric Bieniemy be our Rooney rule interview. Maybe they want to comply as soon as possible. Never thought much of Caldwell. He seemed like a yes man to Manning in Indy. He did somewhat well in Detroit, but they did have a pretty good collection of players at the time along with one of the best WRs in history.

Though I'm not sure this is a Sham interview... at minimum this might have been a practice run for Gute, letting him know what a good interview is, but also might be a serious candidate.

Caldwell went 24-8 as head coach with the Colts before losing Peyton Manning... and having a 2-14 season where the Colts drugged up owner threw Caldwell and Manning under the bus, stupidly taking unneeded shots at Manning along in the process.

Then Caldwell, as head coach of the hapless Lions, went 36-28 , which included 3 out of 4 winning seasons, the only time they have had back to back winning seasons since Barry Sanders... and his only non-winning season was 7-9.

I'm not saying we should all want Caldwell as head coach, but I think he is a legit bar setter (no matter his race), here he is, now try to find better!

So yes, I very much agree with you. I wouldn't mind if Caldwell got the job eventually. I'd like to go a more daring route, overall, but he's a pretty good guy if you want to get the most out of Rodgers' last few years.

dfosterf (5h) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (5h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (6h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (6h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (6h) : In your face, HBO!

dfosterf (7h) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize

dfosterf (7h) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (7h) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (7h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (7h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (7h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (10h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (10h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (11h) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
