Not sure where the info that Pettine had a 5-year contract came from...that seems fairly unheard of a duration for a coordinator. Doesn't seem like something Russ Balls would have signed off on.
If it is true, whoever decided that needs to be fucking fired. In fact, it's time for the Packers Board to turn up the hear on Alfred E. Numbnuts and put some fear into him for this dumbfuck "Silos of Failure" model he's made. Let your GM and HC decide who your coordinators are, and then you go find the money to make it happen.
If you are going to have a President with that much power, at least get an NFL guy in there, not some former athletic director. I know the board is all hung up on finding the next Bob Harlan, but Murphy couldn't hold Harlan's jockstrap. Harlan hired Wolf and got the fuck out of the way. Murphy has had his dingleberries in every decision it seems from coordinators to the guy in charge of towels and ashtrays.
It's time to flush the toilet on Pettine, and if Murphy won't let them do it, it's time to flush the toilet on him too.
