Najeh Davenport, late of the Packers and now with the Steelers (and making an impact I might add) interviewed by the Pittsburgh paper:
Post-Gazette Article
Very interesting comments on the Packer coaching and management style. Remember he was cut so aside from pre-season 2006 his comments have to be applied to pre-McCarthy. I can't say his analysis is right or wrong but he certainly is enjoying the situation in Pittsburgh compared to Green Bay.
Most telling quote (IMHO):
"Don't get me wrong, it's [Green Bay] a great organization with the history, but, to me, personally, they're not really changing with the times. They're kind of stuck in an era -- they won a Super Bowl and they got a couple championships -- and I think they're kind of stuck in that phase of how things were run then. Sometimes, you got to look at it -- it's a new year, a new millennium, players change, personalities change, style and trends change. You got to adjust to the trend."
