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).
