How do you feel about this? The contract was signed during the season. We don't have a GM, but our HC was just extended through 2019? At least this makes it easier to land a DC because what DC wants to work for a guy on his last year of his contract.

Edgar Bennett might be going back to WR?

Packers coach Mike McCarthy got a one-year extension during the season, sources told ESPN's Rob Demovsky. The deal keeps McCarthy under contract through the 2019 season.

GREEN BAY, Wis. - In an offseason of significant changes, the Green Bay Packers should have stability at the head coaching position.

Coach Mike McCarthy received a one-year contract extension during this past season, sources told ESPN.

The deal keeps McCarthy under contract through the 2019 season. McCarthy would have been entering the final year of his contract in 2018 without an extension.

This will help McCarthy attract defensive coordinator candidates who otherwise might have been reluctant to join a lame-duck head coach. McCarthy is looking for a new defensive coordinator after he fired Dom Capers on Monday. At least two other defensive assistants, inside linebackers coach Scott McCurley and defensive line Mike Trgovac, also were let go.

There also could be some shakeup on the offensive staff, a source said. The Packers already know they will need a new receivers coach. Luke Getsy left to become the offensive coordinator at Mississippi State, and there could be a significant restructuring of responsibilities on that side of the ball, including a possible change at offensive coordinator, the source said. Edgar Bennett has been the coordinator since 2015. Bennett is a former receivers coach, and there's some consideration to moving him back into that role

Ted wasn’t “shown the door;” 1265 had 2 choices after this season whether 0-16 or SB champs, Extend Ted or get another GM. YOU CANT HAVE LAME DUCKS. Ted effectively had the job for life, but Ted decided that life was nearing an end, he now be, as he slips into semi-retirement.

Mike was extended for 1 year so the new GM can decide to extend him further or bring in his own guy after 2018.

I love this, it was just kicking the can down the road (which is normally a bad thing) but this situation called for it... at least if they're not sure they're going to be hiring a GB insider to take over the GM role.

What’s interesting to me is that they’re keeping him in house. That suggests to me that eitherhey want Russ Ball to have a “lead scout,” being that he’s not a football guy (he’s a cap guy,) OR that they want Elliot Wolf, and they’re keeping Ted around to make sure the kid gets it, and to provide the voice of experience.

If they did his during the season then it suggests that THIS WHOLE THING HAS BEEN PLANNED OUT for some time. No other reason in the world to extend a HC for one season.

Years ago, didn't Murphy says Thompson told him when he was going to step down and that he had a plan ready? Since that I have assumed it would be after the 2018 season when his contract ran up, but maybe it was a year early.

Ron Wolf said he passed control to Sherman a year early and let Sherman call the shots his last year to let him get adjusted to being the GM without having to deal with the Media, which is why Wolf's last draft looks nothing like his other draft (as he normally tried to get more selections) and everything like Sherman's drafts (which had less selections).

A number of people have commented on how these last two drafts seem different than Thompson past drafts for some reason... though if they were giving the control over to someone on the inside, I'm surprised they're doing this huge search for a new guy and not just handing the reins over, if they already had the guy they wanted.

So basically it goes like this...we're keeping Mike. He has to hire a new DC. After a year of more of the same from Mike, he gets fired. Now we have to hire a new HC, who more than likely wants his own DC. Great plan. Just let the new gm fire mike and make everything easier.
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.
