I can't say if I like or dislike the new HC but claiming Aaron hired him is hysterically funny.

My thoughts are I'm not impressed with @undisputed.

I'm going to wait until LaFleur has some HC games under his belt before making a judgement.

They want head lines, they want former Brady or former Brees coach going to coach Rodgers for the highlines, they don't know shit, they want headleads so they can be attention whore, and since they didn't get what they wanted, they're going to be attention whore by being shock jocks and burying the move as must as possible (which Skip did), to get headleads and people to spread their message around... to get.more attention, because attention equal money in their business.


At the end of the day, their job is to get attention, not to know shit...

I like the pick, and I'm excited to see what he's got. BUT, one thing I don't like is this aspect of his offensive philosophy: He's against "dinking and dunking" down the field. Wants to go for "chunk plays." He says dinking and dunking is too hard.

My take is that, what he calls "dinking and dunking" is what I call, "wearing down a defense." "Chunk plays" are a result of YAK, or of screens and traps, where the RB makes somebody miss. You get those in the natural course of pursuing excellence due to downfield blocking and wearing a defense down until they are tired, especially late in games.

HOWEVER, we all know that the NFL wants to change the game to conform to Madden video games, and the rules favor huge DPI penalties. I mean, if you got a guy open, there's nothing wrong with taking your shots, but can we adhere to fundamentals? This is going to encourage Aaron's propensity to go sandlot.

However, seeing as this is the worst kept secret around, it seems like 99.99% chance Matt LeFleur is our new Head Coach. So, we're all going to dig deep and find everything we can about him to get a jump start. And if LeFleur rejects the offer (sources have stated he already accepted, hence the Packers telling other candidates the position is filled) or if he changes his mind, then guess what? We will cross him off our list and we'll start digging deeper into other candidates.

And my favorite was Da bares- Dave McGinnis not because he was such a HC wiz. Rather it made the bares look so incompetent and they fumbled, stumbled and bumbled the process causing other worthwhile candidates to back off and turn them down. They ended up with Dick Jauron. He only had 1 winning season and lost to the Eagles in the playoffs.

It's happened before and it will happen again. We can roll with the assumption that Matt LaFleur is the new HC at GB.

edit- sorry Z2C, old guys abbreviate too. We don't have as much time left as you kids do as we can't waste it typing the whole word out.

I just found out today that Matt LeFleur coached at my alma mater, Northern Michigan University, in Marquette, Michigan just 15 miles down the road from my house..
He coached quarterbacks and receivers for one season in 2006.
I remember him playing against NMU but I didn't know that he coached there.

A valid concern.
Nevertheless, I think Matt LaFleur thinks a slant and square out are chunk plays, while check-downs to the back and quick WR screens are dinking and dunking. The distinction is aggressiveness vs. taking what the defense gives you.
If you are going to throw it to a back, hit him with a head of steam running swiftly in a particular direction.

Skip Bayless is an asswipe an Shannon Sharpe is a DS. Sterling got all the brains in the family.

beast (6h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (6h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (16h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (16h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (18h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (19h) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
dfosterf (20h) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
Zero2Cool (20h) : Thank you
wpr (20h) : Z, glad you are feeling better.
wpr (20h) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
Zero2Cool (20h) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
wpr (20h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (20h) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (21h) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.
Zero2Cool (21h) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.
Martha Careful (21h) : just kidding...it was down
Martha Careful (21h) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor
dfosterf (21h) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.
beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...
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) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
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?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE
