[QUOTE="musccy, post: 38624, member: 219"] "HELP WANTED" IN LAMBEAU Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reports that the Packers have fired coach Mike Sherman. The move comes less than a year after Sherman was relieved of his G.M. duties in favor of Ted Thompson. Now, the guy who became Sherman's boss in 2005 has put a shoe in Mike's butt to start 2006. [u][b]Per Glazer, the Packers will interview Eagles offensive coordinator Brad Childress and Giants defensive coordinator Tim Lewis. [/b][/u] We think that current Green Bay defensive coordinator Jim Bates should also get some consideration, given his management of a talent-challenged defense and his performance as the interim head coach in Miami in 2004. Sherman was the head coach in Green Bay for six seasons. He leaves with his two-year extension from 2005 in place, which we always regarded as a face-saving Band-Aid aimed at avoiding the distractions of a lame duck season. [u][b]In the end, it fairly can be said that Sherman the G.M. got Sherman the coach fired, since the holes up and down the roster in 2005 were the result of personnel decisions made and contract negotiations conducted on Sherman's watch.[/b] [/u] We'd heard repeatedly that Sherman was not properly delegating duties, either as a G.M. or as a head coach, and it appears that it finally caught up with him. Our guess is that he'll land with one of his former colleagues, such as Andy Reid or Mike Holmgren. [[u]b]The biggest potential consequence of the decision to fire Sherman could be that quarterback Brett Favre views the whole thing as an implicit message that it's time for him to move on[/b]. [/u]Although we've heard that the team wants Favre, the info came from the same source who told us that Sherman was safe. [u][b]There were rumors several weeks back that Favre wants former Packers quarterbacks coach Steve Mariucci to take over the team. If Mooch's name doesn't appear quickly on the list of candidates, Brett might interpret that as yet another message that the team is ready to move on without him.[/b][/u] If that's what the team is trying to do, they are playing the situation very effectively. This way, it'll look like it was Brett's decision to leave, not the team's. And that should go a long way toward preventing a Cheesehead Rebellion. Meanwhile, the Packers are now the third team in the NFC North to be looking for a new head coach at the same time. It's definitely shaping up to be a seller's market, and it'll be interesting to see if any bidding wars break out for the same candidate(s). [/QUOTE]
