the comments from his ex-players when he was canned from Tampa are the most concerning to me. They really seemed to hate the guy.

Cowher

I don't want every player to like their coach. Rodgers likes McCarthy and I think other players do too, but it's not working. Respect.. yeah, but they don't have to like him. Gruden won with a below average Tampa roster late in his tenure there and he's the last guy to actually build something up in Oakland. Aaron Rodgers is a Rich Gannon clone to some extent. Gruden made Gannon at his age into an MVP. I think it makes a ton of sense.

I also would throw Mooch out there as a candidate. He has great knowledge of the game and obviously Green Bay. He got a raw deal in Detroit, but he did great things in San Francisco and was let go due to actual ego. Packer fans talk about ego, John York's ego is what cost Mooch his job. Mooch made the transition from Steve Young to Jeff Garcia. That's pretty amazing when you think about it because that team was due for a huge letdown.

i d love jon gruden...holmgren back??? nice idea but not always reacoach the same team work.

gruden is a nice fit because he has the passion to show hw can coach again

---

Can him.

Mariucchi wa sthe one I wanted after Sherman

I just couldn't remember his name. (too many whiskys watching the game do not help)

He loves the pack and definately got a crap deal with the Lions

---

Rodgers needs a coach to bring some dicipline, he said it himself, when he plays the way he's taught he's better. Gruden or Cowher would be good there.

---

Jerry Glanville. :D

No, seriously.

Jon Gruden. I'd really like to have that guy.

Like said before, taking a look at Leslie Frazier wouldn't hurt.

Maybe John Fox will even be out there.

I do know one thing. If we're indeed going to fire our staff and hire a new HC, I really hope that we won't just wait and see, like we appeared to do with Capers.

Yeah Holmgren would really get on Favre. I think someone needs to get on Rodgers about hanging onto the ball like he does. Again, I don't think it's near as bad as some make it out to be (today it was though) but it's still an occurring problem that needs to be fixed and it's not. McCarthy isn't doing that.

Speaking of Holmgren.....

How about a Holmgren in a Bill Parcells type role in Green Bay and hire Gruden or Mooch as the head man.

good point. the d coach search went on far too long. if we don't want to get stung like the bucs we'll have to move fast to make the transition as smooth as possible.
