Wow. I think we all expected this to happen, but most felt after the season ended. Does anyone think Hackett joins Packers as consultant?

Edit -- do you think there is any truth that Broncos GM felt they were going to be able to bring Aaron Rodgers over along with Hackett? When that didn't happen, they overpaid for Russell Wilson. And since no Rodgers and no success, Broncos are like well we gotta make a change ... HC is least financially destroying...

Wouldn't be a bad idea.
As long as The Packers don't give him an official "title", The Broncos have to pay his salary.
Bellichec does this a lot.
I know Tom Clements came out of retirement.
This could work out well.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

I wasn't all that impressed with the hire to begin with. That said you have to give a guy a couple of years. I still wonder about Ray Rhodes getting the ax after just one season.
As to the question of bringing him back- NO! I don't want 3 different guys wispering in AR12's ear. I don't want him to tell the WRs how to run their routes if it is different from what MLF, TC and Jason Vrable have already been teaching them. If you want to talk about some responsibility for next season, maybe. But it has to be agreed to by the real coaches first.

But let's be honest, his previous OC experience in Jacksonville was underwhelming and the primary asset on his balance sheet was his relationship with Rodgers....I mean....he did not even call plays here.

If:

He is not hired well into the off-season AND
Rodgers and the Packers part ways,

I would predict a Rodgers reunification with Hackett, perhaps as a QB coach somewhere else

Go Packers!!!!

I believe the Broncos GM is from the Vikings and got a first hand look at the success the Packers had... and that's what he wanted, and schemes and such.

Note the Broncos and Vikings both took the same offensive and defensive system that the Packers were using.

Also, I'm not sure the Broncos GM got to choose the head coach, as they were hired at the same time.

But yes, Hackett had Rodgers phone number and could talk to him, and see if he was retiring, returning to the Packers or wanted out.

Zero2Cool (5h) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
