[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 781086"] No, I think the popular perception is that keeping or dumping Capers was McCarthy's call, the coach's call. Clearly, I do not make that assumption. With Murphy becoming uber-GM, applying more concentrated attention on the football operation and not just matters of Green Bay Packers, Inc., it's reasonable to think it derives from a perception of dysfuction in the football operation. Whether that's of Murphy's own intitiative or pressure from the Executive Committee or loud voices on the board we do not know. But I've seen this movie enough times to know that when an executive comes down a level to get more hands on it's from pressure to "fix it", whatever "it" might be. While one consideration in Murphy being hands-on is that Gutekunst is a rookie. GM responsibilites expand considerably beyond just scouting and personnel evaluation. Gutekunst also was hampered (theoretically) by the departure of two senior personnel men to Cleveland, but that does not appear to be the whole story. One thing we do know is McCarthy has a bigger voice in football operations, reporting directly to Murphy as do Gutekunst and Ball. If McCarthy's role is to just coach the players he's given, there's no reason he should be reporting to Murphy. If anybody came out of this whole shake-up blameless it would appear to be McCarthy. And that suggests the mud splatter from Capers performance did not fall on him. [/QUOTE]
