[DoURant]

We "do" need a Fire Butkus thread. Zeitler needs to be the player/ OL Coach... Holy crap!

Most of the Viking struggles were based on one position on the field which can be remedied gradually or quickly or not at all. In our case the auto repair shop has a lot of equipment to replace or repair.

True. But our Engine is good. Our Starter and Power options? Not so much!

To recap the two:

Fire Matt has 1834 posts, 74 pages
Extend Matt (aka Fire Matt deux) has 769 posts, 31 Pages.... combined 2603 posts, 105 Pages.... you would need a full, uninterrupted weekend to catch up

I hear ya. I still have a 20 year old clunker. Just put in new struts, new battery, new alternator, new Serpentine belt assembly, new valve gasket covers, and a new bearing, and last year a new exhaust system.
Now it runs like a Taylor and blocks like a Kramer.

We just installed a 7 yr Becton, a 10yr Tomlinson, and a 15 yr Zeitler, into our clunker... I'm hoping our Green Bay Packard runs like a Deere, and Blocks like a Wahle.

Cute @DoURant real cute!

So far in this season, Myers and Newman would be upgrades. Even a pair of O Lineman that combined are aged 70 should be enough to Supercharge this 2-cylinder

I've been avoiding them because I already can envision what is there. Please don't make me go in there.

Do it and title the threads something along the lines of "Purge the front office, coaching, fire everyone down to the food service cashiers and that guy pushing the pretzel wagon."

I say fire everyone except for Cam Achord. It'll be a packer forum first, only the special teams coach is safe.

So you're saying fire everyone on this list plus the players. I'll agree but make an exception for the interns and the following blue collar departments:

Retail Operations​

Lambeau Field & Titletown Events​

Facilities​

Stadium Services​

Well don't you work a part time at the stadium on game days?

Back when the kids were doing the fund raiser activities. I actually would have made more $$$$ if I'd just volunteered to work OT at my regular job.

I just returned from a long fishing trip, so admittedly I did not read 9 pages of this thread. I did read the OP's post.

Gutekunst is not perfect of course. However, to just base this on Pro Bowlers is lacking perspective. He has made many good moves as well as the bad. The trade for Malik Willis saved two seasons, and that won't be counted in the Pro Bowl assessment. We have great depth at all of the offensive skill positions. The trade for McKinney has worked out great, paired with Evan Williams and Bullard. No Pro Bowls but again great work by the GM. What we lack severely is a competent OL.

Something is wrong at the OL position and it falls mostly on MLF. He is involved in the drafting process and manages the OL coach and players. This is his greatest failure IMO.

Great Cause!
God worked on me a few years ago until he pounded it through my stubborn head. His lesson became obvious. Time is our most valuable gift to others. There is no amount of gifts better than showing up for others when they need you.

Damn, foiled by circumstance again. I was going to imply that you working concessions was somehow connected to the teams post season disappointments on the last 10 years. Hence wanting to fire everyone down to the kids pouring soda and serving up hot dogs.

The best coaches, when building a team, start with the OL and DL. That is the foundation of building a team. With those two areas you can manufacture 7-9 wins even if the rest of the positions are mediocre. The rest is gravy.

The only thing worse than losing is being hungry and sober and losing!

Franchise left tackle, quarterback,

Broken windows theory, if a team is struggling assume the guys pushing brooms and mops are also at fault.
