all about da packers said:You know I agree Arrow and Trom, but the fact is TT dropped the ball. He could have met face to face and told Bates he didn't get the job. Instead he only called him. McCarthy also said he spent more time on talking with possible DC replacements, rather than Bates (if i can recall correctly). Bates should have given in a role that basically where MM is our HC, but Bates had complete control of our D. McCarthy could've said I will take your advice, and how you want things to be done. MM could've given full authority to Bates on the Defesive side of the ball, said you are responsible for the players, who gets cut and who stays. Bates has certainly proven capable of being able to handle such a role.
MM could've chossen to only focused on O. He is not a Defensive guru, and won't be the greatest of the choices to improve our D as HC. That is where MM and TT dropped the ball. I believe they didn't do their best in trying to keep Bates. They could've tried to repair the damaged (not burnt) bridge, but didn't.
Wait a minute. You were the same guy who thought that I was insane for saying that they should have given the HC job to Bates. You said that having him as the DC was "money".tromadz said:yeah, its one of those things where your girlfriend dumps you but wants to remain friends, and it would hurt too much to be around her.
not...not...that i know what thats about. im a playa!
but seriously, jim was respectful, classy....and he had nothing but good things to say about TT and MM so..I hope the "TT and MM secretly fired bates" stuff doesnt surface.
the hunt begins

I say that he ends up as a HC coach some place before the start of the next season. (Buffalo?)

As I've said multiple times, as a DC the man is gold, but as a HC, nobody (yet) seems to want to hire him. Not last year, not this year(in GB)...yet anyway. They (probably, unless YOU work in the NFL) know something we dont.
tromadz said:Is this the guy who
A) Turned Kampman into a record breaker?
or
B) Did nothing to improve KGB?
I love Kamp(hes on my myspace friend list, or at least some fat kid pretending to be him), his improvements were great, and for that, the DE coach should be applauded.
But KGB still blows at run defense. Hell, even his PASS defense isnt that great..not great enough to where he should be out there hurting the run defense. I dunno man...
