Packer changes

12/8/2018

The Packers fired their Coach, Mike McCarthy, this past Sunday which was probably something that needed to be done.  Personally I wish they'd have let him finish the season but on the other hand it saves him from answering questions about his status for the next month and gives him a chance to recharge.  It also gives him an early start on any jobs opening up for next season and he stands a good chance of being in demand.
The Packers allowed McCarthy into the locker room on Wednesday to address the team a final time which is something I don't know that's ever happened before.  When he left the team gave him a standing ovation.  A very classy move by the Packer organization and the Packer team.
McCarthy himself took out a full page add in the Green Bay paper thanking Packer fans for the opportunity and their support the past 12 years.  I've read about several coaches and players have done this but its still a very classy move by McCarthy.
Moving forward with the remainder of the season I'd like to see the Packers play some of the younger players such as Robert Tonyan, Montavious Adams and Jake Kummorow to see if they have a chance of contributing in the future.  I also hope that Joe Philbin is not going to be our next coach.  I'd like to see a younger offensive minded coach hired and wouldn't mind seeing him keep Mike Pettine as the defensive coordinator. 
I don't have a lot of faith in the Packer organization making a good decision, mainly because I think the organizational structure at the top sucks.  I reminds me too much of what was happening in the 70's and 80's when Green Bay was the Siberia of the NFL.  I'm afraid that Packer president Mark Murphy is becoming too involved in the football aspect of the Packers.  This needs to be solely general manager Brian Gutenkunst's domain but instead the Packers have the gm, coach and Russ Ball the cap guy all reporting to Murphy.  That type setup has never seemed to work in Green Bay.
The Packers have better talent than the 70's and 80's but only because of Rodgers and a few of the other players (i.e. D. Bakhtiari, D. Adams, K. Clark, M. Daniels and a few others).  Overall there is a lack of talent that needs to be remedied fast if the Packers are going to be competitive next year.
