Austin is interviewing with CIN too for their DC job.
Austin's defenses have finished 21, 13, 23, and 3 in scoring since he's been in Detroit (average ranking of 15). Dom's defenses have been 26, 21, 12, 13 over the same span (average ranking 18). Slight improvement in recent track record. Over his career in GB though, Capers defense have an average ranking of...15.
How many first & 2nd round draft choices on Green Bay's defense?
How many on Detroits?
Maybe it's just me being a racist - but I think our defensive players will respond much more to a person like Teryl Austin, rather than a 67 year old Toupe' wearing white guy.
Just a thought.
Humans...not robots
It's going to be Perry. Whitt will be retained. The rest will change. With Perry I'd expect a call to K. Greene, if Perry has a positive relationship there. Little bit of history with them.
That was fast. The #Lions are blocking defensive coordinator Teryl Austin from interviewing with the #Packers. Perhaps when they hire a HC…

Every other team is freaking out about the Packers, because they all know what's coming in 2018.
- HOF QB
- Team has a crap load of draft picks
- Team selects in top half of draft
- Team has a lot of cap room
Rodgers is gonna play pissed off when he gets a chance to play.
All we need is something to bring it all together in 2018. 2 good players from this draft in April. Hopefully on the offensive side

Because what round you were picked in guarantees success. Jamarcus Russell is up for MVP again this year isn’t he? Eddie Lacy just won the rushing title with Seattle didn’t he?
Yeah, this high draft pick narrative has gotten old. New England has no problem with that. Pitt picks high as well every year.

I sure hope not.
I'm telling you, by the time gb gets their heads out of their butts hiring a gm, all the choice co-coordinators are gonna be gone.

Outliers vs averages.

Outliers vs averages. Next you'll be telling everyone how GB should be more like NE cuz it really is that easy.
But wait, haven't we all been told (even lectured to) that Green Bay was also one of those 'outliers?' Well I guess not. This team has had major weaknesses every year that haven't been addressed and have been covered up by QB play. Chickens came home to roost this season.
Serious question.
Does requesting an interview with Austin & being rejected satisfy the Rooney Rule?

That is a good question. Another question is do the 'token' interviews with internal candidates count also?
The Rooney rule is f'ing stupid to begin with... I don't know the answer to the questions listed above, but I'd venture to guess both answers would be yes.
I might be putting waaaaay too much faith in humanity, but I cannot believe that a professional sports franchise would pass over a promising coach, GM or whatever simply because he was a minority.
I'm not crazy about Whitt or Perry getting the DC job either. The only thing I hope for if either is hired is that they disagreed with Dom about how things should be done, but with Dom being the DC they had to capitulate to him. This could explain why so many times the DBs were out of position. The were listening to their position coach when the DC was calling something else. Maybe they went to MM later in the season and that is why Dom was let go. Could this be possible and that is what Ha Ha and Randall were talking about at seasons end?
I think it only applies to HCs and GMs. I don’t think coordinator and position coach jobs are required to interview a minority candidate.

What part?

Coordinators/asst coach decisions are not impacted by the GM search. McCarthy is the HC and has control over his staff, that is the way it has been in GB since Harlan saved the day.
GD is right, Rooney Rule only applies to HC and GM/Exec VP type roles.
The hope is that Mike knows where the disconnect on defense was. It’s a bit troubling that Trgovac was cut loose with Dom. The D line didn’t seem to be the weak link on defense. It was every level behind them.
The biggest fear is that Moss is in Mikes ear. That’s problematic.
There is this.
I should have said #Packers PLAYERS are very high on Jerry Montgomery. Can't say what McCarthy is thinking right now. But a number of players like him a lot. https://t.co/mfo40diYIm

So far, no word from 1265 about McCarthy moving on from Montgomery.
RE: Moss - Wilde mentioned yesterday or today that he has heard from people inside 1265, that he trusts, that Moss is not high on the list for the DC job.

Except with the "rumors" that MM might quit if Ball gets the GM, who in their right mind would take a gig where your new boss could be out the door the very next minute. The lack of a true transition plan in place is detrimental to the team and it is pretty clear that they knew things were changing in the GM role months ago.
Well, if McCarthy calls and asks if you want to talk about a coaching spot and you are worried about rumors, you ask him about that. Then he probably tells you to piss off, because he is the head coach.
I'm not buying the rumor. He may not like the approach Ball takes to FA and contracts, but I'd be surprised if he walked away from $18mm over 2 years with a wife and step-kids who are entrenched in the GB community.
Try not to believe every rumor that gets floated.
On the other hand, wish I could say I had more faith in Murphy.
All of this is on Murphy. He really needs to get in front of everything and lower the squelch.
The question is. Can he?
I remember when McCarthy was hired there was a lot of hand-wringing over his less than stellar output as the OC in SFO the year prior.
Sometimes, ya just don't know.
Not sure why Elliott Wolf isn't getting talked about more for GM?? He's who i want.The conspiracy theorist in me(or maybe I'm actually on to something), is Murphy is skeptical about hiring him, because he's worried Elliott would be active in Free Agency like his dad was. Signing veteran players(better then stop gap type of guys), seems to be a disease in GB since RW left. Had it not been for FA signings, the Packers NEVER win the Super Bowl under him. That's a FACT.
For those of you that say "they have signed FA's", I'm not talking "street" FA's, which is most of what they have signed. I'm talking Unrestricted Free agents that can actually play, especially pro Bowl types.
I can't see MM quitting either. Fired? Maybe but he & his 'burgh Cho won't quit.
This may rub some folks the wrong way.
But, I would love to have Jim Swartz as our DC.
Crap HC, but a super DC in my opinion.
he knows how to get his guys to play.
GB has the talent, they just need someone to get them playing.

HA! "they have the talent"
And you ham n eggers wonder why the rest of the league's fan bases laughs at yours.
Just checking in. So Queens fans have slithered out of the closet to talk smack because it looks like their team might finally go somewhere?
So adorable!

Oh....I wouldn't miss this for all the nuclear weapons in N. Korea
Jim Hostler is the new WR coach. Bennett turned down the position after being demoted. I guess Hostler coached with MM in the early 2000's in NO.
Hostler worked with Packers coach Mike McCarthy in New Orleans in 2001-02 and in San Francisco in 2005.
Was QB coach that year in SFO.
Shermanitis? Crony hire?
