Yet, Thompson went with an OC of a crap team after firing Sherman. You'd **** all over that. You'd **** all over every name.
If you don't trust Ted Thompson so much that you think his sitting on a coach that has been at the helm of some of the most epic choke jobs in playoff history and now is 2 games under .500 in his last 20 games is preferably to the dangers of Thompson making another hire, that's your prerogative.
Personally, I trust Thompson, but to each his own.
Actually, I didn't ****** all over the hiring of MM, although I did prefer Sean Peyton, but feel free to project. Sherman needed to go because, after being dumped as GM, he was clearly feuding with TT and the two weren't on the same page. Kind of reverse of what happened when Sherman was hired, when he was given the GM job because the Packers didn't want to upset the apple cart and hire a new GM who would want his own guy and get rid of Sherman after he had only been head coach one year.
Glad to hear you trust TT. He isn't going to fire MM after this year, barring a complete collapse where they only win 2 or 3 more games. He didn't fire MM after a disaster in Tampa in 2009, coming off of a 6-10 season and with MM's three year coaching record standing at 27-21. Who can forget the epic Times Four threat following a horrible loss to Tampa Bay the 8th game of the 2009 season, the week following a Brett Favre and Vikings beat down of the Packers at Lambeau?

I admit I was ready to toss him overboard after that game. But, to MM's credit he rallied the team that season and put the Packers in the playoffs every season since.
Barring a complete collapse the rest of the season, MM is here to for at least through at least next season.
