Interesting conversations going on over at Acme Packing Company :




I do admit to feeling a twinge of regret, though. I had hoped that Mike McCarthy would be able to leave on his own terms, and that Green Bay wouldn't be subjected to the unseemly indignity of a firing. Alas, such was not to be.

Had he left on his own terms, it would have been by resignation, not by being fired. Either way, he's going to collect a massive paycheck next year, whether or not he chooses to work. He'll be fine.

It also allows both him and the team to start putting out feelers for future employment (Mike for a new team and potential replacements get the rest of the season to show off their stuff as an "application" if you will)

This brings up some interesting questions, such as...

  1. Who will choose the new head coach?
  2. (in time) Who will the new head coach be?
  3. Will Murphy return to the old structure of head coach under GM?


  4. Why Philbin and not Pettine?
  5. Are they interested in keeping Pettine?

  6. How will the players react to this? Will they be better or the same over the next couple of games?
  7. How will this effect the Packers potential draft pick? (currently 10th overall, and potential between the 5th and 14th overall)

  8. Who's the offensive play caller? Mike McCarthy always did it, and as Dolphin head coach, I thought he had Mike Sherman do it?
