Didn't Kyle Shanahan coach Kirk Cousins to a fully guaranteed contact, or at least a filthy amount of guaranteed cash?

Pure speculation here, but I will bet a shiny new dime that McDaniels wanted greater say/veto power on personnel decisions.

I am also guessing that he isn’t as big of a fan of Pettine as many of us are.

Ian Rapoport says that Lafleur is a workhorse who will be expected to challenge Aaron Rodgers. I am really liking the sounds of this:

Although rumor had it that Gutekunst and Murphy were not put off by McDaniels' "my-way-or-the-highway" approach to the interview, it's entirely possible they were more comfortable with the idea of going with a candidate who was content to stay in his lane and focus on producing results on the field.

Murphy should announce the hiring of Matt Lafleur with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. 😂

If it is ML, I feel comfortable that he will emphasize the value of a strong offensive line, instrumental to a good ground game which sets up a play action.

Another poster, I apologize to whoever it was, made a good point about getting more depth at running back with at least one more solid starter.

ZOMG, Aaron Nagler retweeted me! 😍



This response had me rolling:



(For those of you who don't follow Nagler, the tweet is a reference to Nagler's calling Murphy a coward for letting Philbin do the Monday-morning press conference instead of doing the merciful thing by firing Philbin and holding the presser himself.)

Knowing Kirk Cousins inside out is an added bonus.

I am guessing no on Campen, i.e. a clean slate on offense.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

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.
