McCarthy’s presser today was pretty revealing...

Did we cut or trade Adams?

He dropped a few subtle hints- that he was unsatisfied with the job the personnel department has done. Thinks they need more veteran leadership in the lock room. And that he will be involved to some extent in the selection of the GM, and he requires a partnership from said GM.
His commentary about his view of the roster was especially interesting...

Did people really think I was serious?
I should have called for a 4 WR/1 TE set, replacing Cobb with Richard Rodgers and his fleet feet.
Not 'zackly Black Monday, but still interesting:

If true, this shows just how a high-level QB may influence personnel decisions, which may (or may not) exist in Green Bay.
Raiders are giving new head coach Jon Gruden a 10-year contract, the longest coaching deal in NFL history, sources tell ESPN. The deal is likely to be worth about $100 million.

Holy balls....no wonder he came outta the booth.
Take that 10 mill to Vegas.....what could go rong
If he's not winning the SB the end of his second year and every year thereafter, they've overpaid.
Chances of #Packers assistant coach Edgar Bennett moving on look pretty strong, according to a source. Plenty of opportunity out there with all the coaching changes.

Raiders will represent AFC in the SB within 3 yrs, or sooner. PIT and JAX will/should have a say in that though.
OAK has too much talent to play the way they did this year and will be picking high again. I'm not sure how good Gruden is as he inherited a very good roster in TB that he took to a SB win. Luckily for him OAK should be similarly stocked very soon.
Cleveland keeps restocking with multiple high draft picks year after year.
So far it's been just a lot of expensive wheel spin for the Brownies.
But soon now, very soon.
Sure, except OAK actually showed some real ability just last year. They're much closer than CLE. It' not just a coaching problem there.

Gruden inherited a very good TB team that whipped ass on a very good team he built then was traded from.
Two things to remember about Gruden.
1. He turned Rich Gannon into a Pro Bowl QB for 4 consecutive years with a surrounding cast that included Tyrone Wheatley, Charlie Garner, and Rickey Dudley. The only true star Gannon had was Tim Brown. Gannon won an NFL MVP in the offense Gruden built.
2. Gruden was 1 tuck rule away from beating Bill B and Tom Brady in New England before Bill B and Tom Brady had accomplished **** together. Maybe the greatest “what if” NFL moment the last 20 years other than Minny not drafting Rodgers twice. I’m sure that play still pisses Charles Woodson off to no end.
Give Gruden Carr, Cooper, Lynch, and that OL as a starting point and it won’t take him long.
Condolences to Raider fans that got Chucky back in time to watch him roll to Vegas though.
Gruden has that Super Bowl win on the resume which is obviously a big deal but the overall resume is not super impressive.
Won that Super Bowl in his first year in Tampa Bay but in the six years after that the team was 45-51. Only hit the 10 win mark once and didn't win a single playoff game in that six year stretch.
In his 11 seasons as a head coach the regular season record is 95-81, a respectable but not great 14 games over .500 spread over 11 seasons. Just to throw out some other names: Jason Garrett is 14 games .500 in 8 seasons, Mike Zimmer is 14 games over .500 in just 4 seasons, Brian Billick was 16 games over .500 in 9 seasons, Mike Sherman was 18 games over .500 in just 6 seasons, Wade Phillips was 18 games over .500 in 12 seasons. Mike McCarthy is 51 games over .500 in 12 seasons. Gruden is a good coach, but the resume isn't so great where I'd be falling over myself to hire him like the Raiders appear to be doing.
New WR coach in GB. McCarthy guy and Pittsburgh macho.
Philbin returning?
I'd be more than fine with him as the OC. He seems to be the anti-McStupid face. And, Rodgers absolutely loves Joe.
Yep..
The #Packers are expected to interview their own former offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, source said, about rejoining the staff.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 6, 2018
The #Titans are in the playoffs, but coach Mike Mularkey’s job is not safe. Sources say a loss could end his tenure, as the team prepares for a run at #Patriots OC Josh McDaniels. Big game today with multiple ramifications.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 6, 2018
Yikes, job is never safe.
All in on Philbin.
He will make our offense great again
Not sure he'd want to see the Fox River every day.
And actually MaCadoo as a position coach wouldn't be bad either. He could groom our new 3rd round TE we're drafting. 
Could be a big reunion if Ben McAdoo returns as well. #Packers dominant on offense in 2011 when Philbin and McAdoo were both on the staff. https://t.co/s0M3pHLeN2

Philbin and McAdoo might be enough to get Rodgers to forget about Ball and McCarthys alarmingly thinning hair.

Sounds like Philbin is a done deal..
Former Packers’ OC Joe Philbin, who left Green Bay in 2012 to become the Miami Dolphins’ HC, is expected to rejoin Mike McCarthy’s staff, sources told @RobDemovsky.

"Every time he stood up in front of the offense and talked, he had the respect of the players," Rodgers said before the Packers played the Dolphins in 2014. "Because we saw how hard he worked, his passion for the game, the way that he talked and the way that he cared about his players. Those were all qualities that a good head coach needs. So it was tough to see him go, but you can definitely see it back then.
"I owe a lot of my success to working under him. He helped me a lot over the years with different reminders."

Remember when Rodgers said it was important that everyone in the organization needed to be all in after the Atlanta playoff loss? Must have been tough for AR to not see guys like Philbin and McAdoo busting ass while seeing guys like Clements and Van Pelt do who the **** knows what. Worth noting that Clements decided to “pursue other opportunities”. He’s still looking for whatever that opportunity might be.
Getting giddy to see them possibly putting the band back together.
