[QUOTE="milani, post: 1001485, member: 6654"] Lot of interesting opinions from former players and coaches. I believe it was just unfathomable that Ron Wolf could ever hire a head coach so incompetent. But that does not mean he was a bad DC. One of the 3 Packer regular season losses in 1997 ironically came at the hands of Ray Rhodes in Philly 10-9. As a head coach he was just so disorganized and disconnected. A lot like a Lion coach in the 60s named Harry Gilmer. Devine was an excellent college coach but very inflexible at the professional level. I can only speak what I heard players say in articles and books. The story went down in 1972 that Dave Hanner ran the defense, Bart Starr ran the offense, and Devine did nothing. The 1972 team was a pleasant surprise. Some players blamed him, however, for the playoff loss at Washington and the subsequent failures in 1973 and 1974. Lombardi was able to outcoach George Allen. Devine was not able to do that. We could go microscope his 3 years there but anyone playing in the shadow of Lombardi was a tall order to fill. [/QUOTE]
