[QUOTE="Packerlifer, post: 587105, member: 1242"] Forest Evasheski, coach at Iowa, was the Packers' first choice before they stumbled into Lombardi in 1959. The Packers' executive committee was split between Dan Devine and Joe Paterno in 1971. In that search they were also interested in George Allen and Frank Kush of Arizona St. George Perles, coach at Michigan St. at the time, was offered the Packers' job in 1988 but turned it down at the last minute so the club went with Lindy Infante. Ron Wolf had pretty much focused on Mike Holmgren in 1992 but there was a brief flirtation with Bill Parcells because the two men had a personal relationship and Parcells was going through one of his "do I, or don't I" moods about coaching again. I believe Jim Bates, the Packers defensive coordinator in 2005, was interviewed for the job in the 2006 search. Ted Thompson also planned to interview Brad Childress, but the Vikings signed him first. That worked out well. I think there were one or two other NFL assistants interviewed or on TT's list before the McCarthy hire as well. [/QUOTE]
