Our new defensive coordinator should be....?

When Pettine's been a DC, his defenses have always been in the top 10.

Maybe in yards, points spell out something different and points are what really matters. Nobody freaks out about a defense giving up 500 yards but only 3 points. Maybe he is great and has had bad luck with teams he’s been on...The Factory of Sadness ruins all coaches good and bad and the end of Rex Ryan’s time in NY was a disaster beyond saving by even a brilliant Coordinator. Pettine has faced Rodgers once and allowed only 9 points (2010). Something to be said for that.

Pettins style is different for sure, complete 180 to Capers. He’s energetic, in your face, and calls defense from the field. Players may respond positively to him. He’s a Packer now that and has my 100% support.

Another Mike... Jesus fuc.q

If they hire a couple of guys  named Pat they could start an Irish band.

Hope his defense isn’t too complex!

I’ll always be bothered by the fact wade Phillips was unemployed in a stretch while dom wasn’t... not that he’d come here since in 2010 the packers were the coach killlers.

seems like a smart hire, an intelligent, motivational coach; leading a very young defense. Retaining joe Witt is key IMO. 

I hope they get after it, My gut feeling is in 1265, new GM tells old HC, the way it is... you have 12; do you want to be Shula, or Landry? 

Hope Pettine coaches from the side lines and not the press box.

I thought I read that GB had an interview set up with Fangio today ?

I read somewhere that Fangio and Capers were close pals...and that Fangio would come to GB only if Dom gave him a favorable opinion of the Packers.  So...??

Packers now preparing to hire former Browns’ HC Mike Pettine as their defensive coordinator, per league source.

Dude.

I thought maybe I was in some kind of time warp. 

I know it was Cleveland and all... and their D was pretty good all things being equal, it seems a bit underwhelming. Apparently Fangio not interested, or maybe he wanted a bidding war.

Crazy part- Wikipedia already updated. Wtf...

If Pettine doesn't work out - I mean as DC - GB could always promote one of its 326000 owners.  One of them should know something about defense.

The bus? Gross Jaymo, that’s a terrible euphemism.

ftfy

In two games against Ryan-Pettine defenses (Baltimore and NYJ), QB Aaron Rodgers has completed 23 of 49 passes for 235 yards and an interception (52.7 rating). He was sacked 5 times.

I like the signing. I like the pedigree, but I also like that he's on the sidelines, and energetic. I think our defense will feed off of his passion. 

WTF? What's the rush? Well Pettine must have kicked ass in his interview, or given MM the secret Pennsylvania handshake. If MM believes he's the guy then let's roll.

Moving quick means our new DC will get his pick of best available assistants, asses the roster, bust out of his silo and tell MM, Gute et al his wishlist for the draft and free agency. 

Wow, when was the last time we thought the Packers could be making a serious play in free agency? I don't even care if we get a shiny new overhyped/overpaid playmaker, how about a few assignment-sure, savvy vets to help the rooks get up to speed. YES, I love this off-season!

Bro, that is the least crazy part of your post. You know how Wikipedia works right?

Yeah- but I got the push notification that “sources were saying” and in less than 5 minutes it was on his page because I had to look him up. That’s crazy....

People live to be the one to update Wikipedia

Mike Pettine runs a lot of fronts but prefers what’s called an “under” front. He spent the last year in Seattle (also an ‘under’ team), which suggests big schematic moves could be in the works for GB. I wrote about what it could look like in the fall. https://t.co/vqzSZnMW81
