He was earning his pay in Baltimore. Their WRs suck
I thought he came from the Colts?
Also, I thought I read that it was going to be tough hiring asst coaches since the GM job is open?
Technically the Colts used to be in Baltimore too, so shaddup!!
Vic Fangio or Gus Bradley. It should be one of those two guys. Mike needs to do everything he possibly can to get one of them here in Green Bay. Both are available, and they're clearly the best candidates. It really shouldn't be hard to convince a top candidate to come to GB. They only need an average defense to compete for another Lombardi. It's going to come down to whether or not one of these top guys wants to work for Mike McCarthy. Hope one does.
Why not work for Mike? His last DC lasted 9 seasons despite failing almost every step along the way.

Hostler coached Indianapolis’ receivers in 2015 before coaching the team’s tight ends the past two seasons.
Bears hire Nagy, so Fangio is a free agent. Don't hesitate Mike, bring Vic north. Gives you the continuity you love with a proven DC.
Fangio under contract until midnight tonight. Read the Black Monday thread GoldieDigger

#Packers wanted to interview him but #Lions blocked them. Not sure how #Bengals got permission since if you block one you must block all. https://t.co/mgcipvAA5l

New GM Brian Gutekunst on improving the Packers defense: "We've got some good players; we didn't play well as a team. The team has to be greater than the parts."

C-Boy was wondering the same thing…
@MikeSilver said that Vic Fangio told him that he still hasn't made a decision. Packers are talking to him.

Former Browns’ HC Mike Pettine is scheduled to interview for Packers’ defensive coordinator job Tuesday, per league source.

Fall back in case they don't get Fangio ??
Michael Rodney
@PackersNotes
Pettine is the closest thing you'll find to Buddy Ryan - minus the theatrics. Very aggressive play-caller who'd add much-needed toughness to the defense. Might actually prefer him to Fangio. Doesn't have the track record but would bring a different style and personality.
Not macho but from pa.

The Packers are interviewing Mike Pettine for their DC job tomorrow, per @AdamSchefter. Pettine was a DC from 2009-2013 and his defenses ranked 1st, 5th, 2nd, 9th, and 4th in DVOA and never ranked lower than 6th in passing.

lots not start using this kind of advance statistical gobblygook to judge a DC.
Does he have a toupee?
I hope MM interviews Nick Collins for the DC position.

He is comfortable with his masculinity.

Hmm...didn't realize there was a connection:
Slightly random, but I think it's fair to say that quite a bit of what we've seen from Wisconsin DC Jim Leonhard was heavily influenced by all the time spent with Pettine & Rex Ryan in the NFL. https://t.co/lXlfl534Y0

Mike Pettine had the #Browns at 7-4 with average QB play and a roster that wasn’t bursting with All Pros in 2014. Team went off the rails when Johnny Manziel got promoted. 4 wins and 49 losses later and here we sit. Would be a great hire by #Packers

What’s he been doing the past couple of years?
He took last year off to build his own house.
With Fangio, Pagano, Spagnola and Pettine out there yet, the Packers can get an experienced DC. I wouldn't call any of them a retread.
This Pettine dude is starting to sound intriguing.

HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN MENTIONED YET

Well, that's the attitude I like from a GM about a D and even a team. Lay it on the coaches to mold them into a team and as I said earlier in a thread, the parts were greater than the whole on our D. A good DC can turn that around.
If you haven't done so I would recommend watching the Press Conference with Murphy introducing Gutekunst. Long.....but Good stuff. Guy is impressive.
Pakrz posted:This Pettine dude is starting to sound intriguing.
me too.
Our D could be called the "Pettine Zoo"
If we go to a 4-3 front, would that be called "Heavy Pettine"?
Dudes name is Mike. He already has an unfair advantage over these other blokes. It's practically a requirement to be a coach here.
Some good stuff in this link.
Mike Pettine has promised Browns fans that he will adapt his defensive scheme to fit what his players do well. He did just that in Buffalo in 2013.
No square peg/round whole.
This almost sounds like Perry and Matthews.
At one "outside linebacker" spot, the Bills started former #1 overall pick Mario Williams. In my opinion he is the one kind of guy that we just don't have. Paul Kruger and Jabaal Sheard probably come closest, but Brown matches Williams' blend of power, edge rushing skill, speed, and size. Williams was effectively a fourth down lineman who sometimes played from a 2 point stance.
At the other outside linebacker spot, the Bills started yet another former first rounder in Manny Lawson. Lawson has been a journeyman and never lived up to his billing as a top-flight pass rusher out of NC State.

I thought Gut was impressive as well.
Then again, considering the previous GM has not formed a coherent sentence and has had spittle coming out of the sides of his gaping mouth whenever he's spoken for years now, maybe I just had really low expectations.
Ouch!
Boris He looks like some bouncers I've encountered.
