Noooooooooo!

The Packers could be replacing their Super Bowl winning coach with a coach who has taken a team to a Super Bowl. According to multiple league sources, former Lions and Colts coach Jim Caldwell has interviewed for the Green Bay opening.

Would rather Eric Bieniemy be our Rooney rule interview. Maybe they want to comply as soon as possible. Never thought much of Caldwell. He seemed like a yes man to Manning in Indy. He did somewhat well in Detroit, but they did have a pretty good collection of players at the time along with one of the best WRs in history.

Though I'm not sure this is a Sham interview... at minimum this might have been a practice run for Gute, letting him know what a good interview is, but also might be a serious candidate.

Caldwell went 24-8 as head coach with the Colts before losing Peyton Manning... and having a 2-14 season where the Colts drugged up owner threw Caldwell and Manning under the bus, stupidly taking unneeded shots at Manning along in the process.

Then Caldwell, as head coach of the hapless Lions, went 36-28 , which included 3 out of 4 winning seasons, the only time they have had back to back winning seasons since Barry Sanders... and his only non-winning season was 7-9.

I'm not saying we should all want Caldwell as head coach, but I think he is a legit bar setter (no matter his race), here he is, now try to find better!

So yes, I very much agree with you. I wouldn't mind if Caldwell got the job eventually. I'd like to go a more daring route, overall, but he's a pretty good guy if you want to get the most out of Rodgers' last few years.

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round
