We actually need to stop overreacting... the 2 teams we lost to are a combined 9-1.. Its a long season boys.

Thompson's lack of effort in free agency has nothing to do with ego or fame. If what some say is true, Thompson would've cut Favre after 05 when it would've been a much easier move, and got rid of the likes of Donald Driver, Al Harris, Chad Clifton, Mark Tauscher, Cullen Jenkins and so on along with him. There are plenty of Wolf and even a few Sherman holdovers on this team.

If anything, Thompson is way to reserve to want the spotlight. He has an ego because everyone does, but it's no more massive than anyone else running an organization today nor anyone that the Packers could hire to replace him. If you're looking to root for teams with no egos, you're watching the wrong sport.

Ever stop and think that it has nothing to do with ego or fame and that his philosophy is just a flawed one?

I'd hardly call Mike Sherman an egomaniac, but he was a lousy GM.

As far as Tony Dungy. Who wouldn't be for it? The most important question is this.....

Would Tony Dungy be for it?

I doubt it. He doesn't need the money and he's already going to the Hall of Fame one day. He doesn't need to do anything more. I would chalk this up to just another pipe dream. Although I would hope I'm wrong and I think it's great that Packer fans dream big.

3 Wolf?
5 Sherman?

I don't know if that's plenty. But, I think five are starters, so five out of 22...

It's plenty enough IMO.

If Thompson was an egomaniac hell bent on stealing the glory from everyone then there wouldn't be even one or two. Why risk it and since his ego is so big and he wants the fame, he might as well go all in and get rid of Driver, Harris, Barnett, Kampman, Clifton, Tauscher, Wells, and Jenkins. He also extended some of them. Why extend them?

Eight players whom are significant players including Tauscher over this span as well. Not to mention Favre, Bubba Franks, Corey Williams, and KGB over the years he's been here. You factor that in + the fact that he's laid back and he seems to not like talking to the press or did at first and you get anyone but someone seeking fame IMO.

Fame and egomaniac are not the right words to describe this guy.

Is Ditka still available?? Is that sacrilege? I don't know.

What's funny is that everyone on here, including myself, seem to be posting under the impression that our opinions about the team and management are actually significant. We post like it will have an effect in some way. "Hey look here Packers, it's TONY DUNGY." "Hey Packers, you are going to rally this year because of THESE REASONS." Really, what you post is what you get from it. To the posters who are negative about the team/management, congratulations! Your prize is marinating in your own negative posts. Good luck fighting off the optimism in other posts. It truly is a battle. To the posters who are hopeful/idealistic about the team/management, congratulations! Your prize is a continuing fight to focus on the good in an imperfect world. Good luck fighting off the negativity in other posts. It truly is a battle.

Firing Mike McCarthy, hiring Dungy, seeing who Dungy wants to keep or toss from the coaching staff as well as seeing who he can bring in to fill out his coaching staff, and then seeing how it progresses over a period of about 5 years would be pretty interesting. Better or worse, I don't know. He always struck me as a technician coach. I would laugh my ass off the first time I heard him talk technique like "pad level" in a press conference.

---

I'm sure this has been mentioned already, but Dungy's been pretty adamant that he doesn't want to coach again. As in he's said flat-out that he doesn't have any interest in coaching again. Not "at this time", but ever.

That would be my guess as to why he's not been mentioned.

I wasn't saying he was fame-o-tard or ego-tard or anything. I just was curious as to your comment. You said plenty, I thought it was less than ten, and less than ten out of a 50 plus roster is not plenty. However, when you consider that 5 of those 8 are starters, that's plenty. Just my thought though.

Well, you got to think that anyone from Wolf regime is in the mid-30s by now. That's why they aren't on our team, not because of TT.
