Hunt for OC begins

[LambeauLeaper]

Green Bay - There's a good chance that new Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy will try to bring back one of his colleagues from the 1999 Packers coaching staff to be his offensive coordinator.

According to an NFL source, Atlanta offensive line coach Jeff Jagodzinski, a West Allis native and Packers assistant from 1999-2003, appears to be the leading candidate to run McCarthy's offense. McCarthy indicated that he would probably call plays next year, but in Jagodzinski the new Packers coach would have someone capable of designing the running game and integrating the tight ends into the offense.

Jagodzinski was fired from Mike Sherman's staff after the 2003 season allegedly because of a personality conflict with the head coach. Team sources have said Jagodzinski, the tight ends coach, often challenged Sherman and offensive coordinator Tom Rossley on their game-planning and became a nuisance to the head coach.

It wasn't long after getting fired that Jagodzinski landed in Atlanta, where he became new coach Jim Mora's offensive line coach.

Jagodzinski would have to be offered the offensive coordinator's position to have a shot at coming to the Packers because it would be considered a promotion.

That part I bolded is all I need to hear. Bring him on!

Hey, LL...I read that and a smile formed. Call me crazy, but I appreciate people with a spine...especially those who lead others!!

 

[DePack]

What is a West Allis native? I assume he is somewhat local?

Jagodzinski was one of the fired coaches who bad-mouthed Sherman a little after he left. The other was Johnny Roland, the running backs coach. I think Roland was more blatant about it, but Jagodzinski hinted at it as well, suggesting that Sherman did not tolerate criticism from assistant coaches. I thought it was unprofessional of those guys to say that, but on the other hand, it made me doubt Sherman to hear it coming from two different guys. That was also right after Sherman had fired Donatell and hired Slowik, which was a highly questionable move even at the time.

Yes West Allis is a western suburb of Milwaukee

 

[tromadz]

that guy sounds kinda cool.

west allis is a suburb of milwaukee. do you know of allis chalmers tractors and heavy equipment.

[dhpackr]

Yes West Allis is a western suburb of Milwaukee

hey dude where in milwaukee do you live?

 

[LambeauLeaper]

lol, you think someone named "MSMOLLY" is a dude?

 

[PACKATTACK4]

I like this Jagodzinski already, bring him aboard!! Sherman canned him for challanging his and Rosley's game plans. Sounds like SherRosley wanted a dictatorship, ship out anyone who offers a different view. I guess that's why he fired Donatell also, he wanted to pressure the QB on 4th and 26, Sherman said he was involved in the call and believes in playing coverage.

Yea lets hash that one out again. I don't think that play has ever been discussed here yet.

Hey....has anyone ever heard of the "Ice Bowl"...

 

[PACKATTACK4]

Hey yes, speaking of the "Ice Bowl", just imagine how different Packer history would've been if Sherman and Rosley were calling the plays, they probably would have called a reverse!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PACKATTACK4]

Thanks for the info leaper.

C'mon now, DePack - I think we did spend some time discussin' this topic.
But, I'd be more than happy to jump back on it again - although, it's sorta moot, since the perpetrator(s) are now gone (finally)...

** Changes subject **

Right now, I'm listening to the McCarthy Interview from the OnWisconsin link - this way, you can actually hear the questions being asked....

The 'new' Mike - certainly doesn't mince words.. I'll give him that!
One thing I've always hated, is how some people can't wait to involve political correctness in how they discuss a topic - like they're afraid someone'll find 'em out. I like how McCarthy understands the need to know where you stand with people and that's how he was brought up in Pittsburgh. I'll be watching NFL-on-FOX, this weekend, to see what ol' Bradshaw has to say.... that's fer sure!

Actually - I had just rebuilt my PC - so I didn't even have Realplayer -- so, on my internal network, I have a copy of RealPlayerGoldbb, which I can try and upload to RYAN's PF site, not sure how well it'll handle that.-- You can always try installing that... it worked here.....
