[QUOTE="ricky, post: 8091, member: 11"] AZP, I have followed you from forum to forum (don't worry, I'm really not a stalker or predator). I thought your response about Sherman was good, but imcomplete. 1. Sherman had/has Favre as his QB. Yet he has regressed in the playoffs each year. Think about it. Sherman has "taken them" (with Favre at QB, Green, etc., should anything else be considered?) to the second tier twice. Both times, a disappointing loss where victory could have been achieved. 2. After the Philly loss (the infamous 4th and 26), Sherman jettisoned Donatell. The next year, the Packer defense was MUCH worse. Was this "assigning blame", or "buck passing"? 3. Sherman is not a demonstrative coach, and shows (to my eyes) excessive loyalty to his coaches. Agreed, Beightol has done wonders on the offensive line (and, quite seriously, I hope they have him in a "good health" program so he can be a Packer "stalwart" for years to come). However, his promotion of Slowik, the addition of Schottenheimer above Washington as DB's coach (don't get me started about McKenzie!) and the general "uncertainty" of the Packer defense (added to the general disappearance of the Packer offense in several games ) helped lead to a team collapse. Oh, sure, they posted a winning record- but looked embarrasignly inept in the Minnesota game (which, to my chagrin, some Vikings fans are trying to tout on Packer sites). 4. Sherman has his moments- the outburst against Sapp; the impassioned plea to the team after the Packers started out 1-4 last year). However, Sherman is not a leader, nor is he an inspirational coach. Why would having Sherman around lure Favre back? Less opposition as the true leader of the team. I posted years ago, when Sherman first was assigned the GM/HC position, that Favre was the true leader of the team. He's still the "800 pound gorilla", and will be until he retires.
