Sherman Takes HS Job

Twilight at 60, holy ****, the end is nearer than I thought.

Best of luck to Mike in his new gig. Can't really fault him for taking on too much in GB; I blame the people who allowed it to happen, Wolf and Harlan.

Will probably bring in Rossley as his offensive coordinator.

Is he going to be teaching American History too?

Hope he doesn't teach economics. Remember the Titans Children!

No doubt, but I think he meant they are the guys that gave him the keys to the car, which isn't Sherman's fault. I remember back in 2001 stating "both jobs are too much for any one man."

 As evidenced by him not acquiring another NFL HC job offer. Hell, not even NCAA wants him anymore. Fortunately, TT pulled the emergency stop on that train & switched us to the correct track.

I liked to think that if Sherman had a Ted-like GM behind him during his coaching era, the Packers would have been able to sneak in and steal a Super Bowl. But with his drinking buddies Rossley and Duffner on the payroll, and an over-the-hill Favre going through the motions, it still likely wouldn't have happened.

Great assistant. A leader at the NFL level? Not so much.

Lot of similarities to the 2003 team and 2010 team. Both got hot. Big difference is Sherman pumping the brakes on 4th and 1 in Philly. There's no way he hasn't replayed that call in his head a million times. 

Me, too, Chillijon. Me, too.

Stop 4th and 26 and we ain't discussing that. These two plus the Favre duck in OT was something I never thought would be duplicated...until last January.

I've got my issues with Favre but I don't agree with that assessment.

Wait, he's going to coach the varsity team? Surely he'll just be working JV.

I may be in the minority, but I liked Sherman. NOT as GM, but as the HC.

Every coach has made questionable (at best) decisions during their tenures, so I can't fault him for that. Ditto for 'coddling' certain players.

What I liked best about him was his respect for the history and tradition of the Packers. I think he was very sincere about that, and imparted that to his teams.

He is a good man, and I hope he enjoys his new job.

Indeed I did.

Thanks, Fedya!

You forgot standing up to Waren Sapp.   Exactly, loved that he stood up to that PO dog doodoo.  Ugh..... and look at the Sapp now.  Ugh.  

Nauset Regional High School must be in RatPiss' neighborhood.

Thanks, Goldie! 

Anytime Timmy.    

Great OL coach. Good OC. So-so HC. No comment on the GM.

But Wolf recommending him as GM and Harlan listening, that was just dum.

Every time this thread gets bumped up I think Sherman is after my job.

I'll comment on GM - he stunk.  He kicked the scouts out of the draft room because he wanted to take BJ Sander against their wishes.  He should have listened to his scouts more. 

I also remember reading about how Sherman stopped listening to his scouts. He was his own worst enemy. And IIRC, he also acted like an ass to Thompson in the year they were together.

completely wrong.

Mike only listened to Patty and Ted treated her like a piece of ass

NBC Sports Digital is doing a six-episode series on Mike Sherman coaching high school football in Cape Cod: http://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2015/10/15/former-packers-coach-mike-sherman-reality-show/73986820/ …

The collective trash heap that was the Packers defense, oy.  DONNEL WASHINGTON!  Did that guy even get on the field?

I thought Donnell was going to be awesome too.

 Aw darn-it I can't seem to find my remote to set the recording

  another in the Donnel camp, but boy was I rong.
