And what if it’s the number one guy on your board and he says no to Pettine? What if Pettine doesn’t want to work for that guy?
I’d sure hope the Packer braintrust isn’t prioritizing keeping a nice DC over the best HC.
I agree you can't force a coach on a new HC. If they go with one of the younger guys I would think they'd be pretty happy to work with Pettine simply because they don't have their own personal old boys network yet. McVince was the same. He didn't bring much with him in regard to the defensive side of the ball and even kept guys like Philbardi and Cogbot and Jagodumfukoski.
I think McDaniels might want to bring in his own crowd but he also has a lot of experience playing against Pettine defenses so I'd have to think he'd be interested as well.
