[QUOTE="toolkien, post: 491083, member: 4637"] Someone feels the need to defend Mike Sherman? Miss the part where in his entire career as a head coach (since getting the Packer head coaching position coupled with the TAM position), he's +16 in winning margin? And he got that margin with the 2001 + 2002 season, mostly with Favre playing a decent level and a team mostly constructed by Ron Wolf. Otherwise, with the Packers and with Texas A&M, he's exactly .500 (and got no bowl victories with TAM). And how did TAM do last year, just one year removed from Sherman? Sherman was mediocre as a coach, bad as a GM, but had an ego the size of his butt. He prima donna'd his way out of an opportunity with the Arizona Cardinals by asking for a ridiculous amount of money, and he came in #2 behind the inspiring **** Jauron for the Bills' job. And then goes .500 with TAM, and gets fired by phone (apparently nobody wanted to deal with him face to face). Sherman is the walking embodiment of mediocre but has an ego all of proportion for that "success". And last year the Dolphins were dreadful on offense - it was the defense that gave them their mediocre record. As for Thompson, he inherited Sherman's slow, dumb, and overpaid team, along with a Favre who was squarely in prima donna mode, and got the Packers back to the NFC championship game in short order and has had arguably the second best team in the league the last 4 years. Thompson was with the Packers in the 90's turnaround phase, earning two promotions along the way, went out the Seattle to build a Super Bowl appearing team with out their with the "Packers West", and came back and got the Packers back pointing north in short order (while Seattle sank). Wherever TT has been on the payroll the last 20+ years, those teams have been making the playoffs consistently, in conference championship games regularly, in the Super Bowl often enough, and winning a decent portion of those.
