[QUOTE="PWT36, post: 37524, member: 170"] A topic concerning Mike Sherman head coaching career with common sense and accurate. it is refreshing to see this type of a topic. Mike Sherman coaching record in his six year coaching career in Green Bay places him as the fourth best Packer coach in Packers history only EL "Curly" Lambeau Founder, GM & HC from 1921 -1949., Vincent Lombardi GM and HC of glory years Packers from 1959-1967 . Mike Holmgren head coach from 1992 -1998 are ahead of Mike Sherman. All other Packer coaches were below .500 winning percentage except Rhodes one year coaching record of 8-8.
