The problem isn't that this gets turned into a "TT hate" thread, it's whats used to back that hate. Like saying he's concerned with his "fame".
I haven't seen ONE thing that would point to that.
If you want to hate the guy, go ahead. But don't make up stuff and act like it's factually based.
Just say " I HATE Ted Thompson AND WANT HIM GONE!"
Thats factually based then.

I would love to see Tony as the HC in Green Bay but i don't see Ted Thompson bringing in any big name coach because once again it would take away from his fame.

How big was Wolf's ego, He brought in an even lesser known HC. Holmgren had 5 years NFL experience as a QB coach. McCarthy had 13 years NFL coaching including QB coaching and OC.

This fame angle is about as weak as they come.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I HATE Favre Firsters AND I WANT THEM GONE!!

Yeah, it does kinda make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Cheers Cheesey

Back on topic:
Dungy would RULE as a head coach. Unfortunately, he did retire. If he were to come back, I would have no issues with him leading this team as a HC, not so sure about GM.

You want to finish your career here?
Favre: "Definitely. If in two years, say, they want to trade me, I'd probably walk away. Retire."

millertime- I award you +1 for posting this because I will be completely honest and say that I was wanting so bad to post Dungy's name in the Holmgren/Cowher post but was not able to put a legit post together and wasn't ready to discuss why I thought it was the best route.

Dungy> the other guys (even though their are a lot of good names listed).

You make sense in your post and this guy is an AMAZING coach.

I am not calling for MM's head.....yet.

THREAD SUMMARY so far:

Tony Dungy may be retired but we have already seen certain NFL personas retire then decide to unretire. He's probably a bit more decisive than Brett "Waffle" Favre who can't decide what he wants to do. Besides, McCarthy may suck and needs to go but Ted Thompson is such an ego-maniac that he wouldn't dream of hiring someone with as much class and talent as Dungy.

Did I manage to bash everyone yet? Oh, wait, The O-Line sucks and someone needs to do something about it....Dungy would do it.

There, I think that will do it. I think I'm going to make a copy of this post....should be useful at least once a week and then I don't have to type it all again (<----insert HEAVY sarcasm here if it isn't apparent) 😉

I HATE "NAME LABELERS" AND I WANT THEM GONE!!!!!!

Everyone is right, I feel much better.

Of course if I got my wish, there would not be many to talk to around here!!!!! :icon_smile: :icon_smile:

Dungy as a CEO?? Might get him out of retirement, doubt it though he has that cushy TV job now.

4 must win games coming, there are going to be many nervous people if The Pack lays an egg the next few weeks.

I have been all over MM for his play calling, but if you read another thread, seems AR is being a little bit stubborn about making a change.

I don't know anymore, does Ted Thompson really have control of what is going on? I guess we will see in the next few weeks.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

what is funny why doesn't anyone bring up Junior Seau seeing he now has come out of retiremement what 4 times now. But back to my comment i said the fame thing is because Ted Thompson is building the team as his team thus i believe the reason you don't see the big name free agents signed. I used to compare Ted Thompson and Jerry Reinsdorf and i believe it is a great comparision.

I would love to see Dungy in charge of everything. I for one am against the Likes of Sanahan and Holmgren, I want someone that will spit fire and call his team out if they mess up. I say lets trade some draft picks for Singletary 🙂

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Tony Dungy is a great coach, i want to see if McCarthy can turn it around though before anything, if not then some changes need to be made

beast (8h) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
