I admire Matt's loyalty, but when you keep a guy who is consistently this bad, you make him go stand on the side, while someone else does his job for him. Maybe he'll learn something.

Then you shitcan him in the offseason. You don't actually allow him to continue embarrassing not only you, but the entire franchise.

This maybe where the youth of MLF works against him: since he's so young and relatively new in the league, he doesn't know enough people around the league so when he needs someone he can go get them. Even with that caveat, simply bumping up Drayton was always going to blow up in his face.

This was a front office deal.

The blocked kicks were "something we saw on film. We knew we could do that."

How about self scouting? Especially when you have such a joke of a unit.

Article on passing up on a real ST coach .

Given the chance to hire a high-end special teams coordinator, the Packers underpaid and paid the price.

Drayton is 1 of the lead coaches along with HC, OC and DC. I'm sure the NFL tracks that too. Other organizations watch this kind of thing. They even have Ruvall Martin as a Coaching Assistant (Minority Fellowship).

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal
