From what I've read, it's sounding like Eliot is pretty much a longshot at this point

Just glad they're finally making some big changes to the FO.


Why though? I know the FO decisions are much less public knowledge than everything else in the league, but unless someone has their teeth sunk in him, idk why he wouldn't be in line to succeed TT. Nepotism aside, if GB is promoting from within, how isn't the director of Ops not in the GM discussion?

No idea, hope it's not true though. Apparently Brian Gutenkunst seems to be the favorite to get the job

That was the name initially released, but I assumed that was just filler name to keep the fans and media occupied. Nothing worse than canning someone with absolutely no one else in mind.

Pretty much my thoughts on people wondering if McCarthy is going. Literally no reason to remove someone when there's nothing better available.

BREAKING: Packers Sign HC Mike McCarthy To One-Year Extension

I'm okay with it.

Seems like a "prove it" type of deal before another long term is decided

Prove it deal i'm absolutely okay with. Anything short of a deep playoff run should be considered a failure and McCarthy shown the door. Another NFC Championship game collapse should warrant a firing as well

Think the one year was simply because Aaron doesn’t want him gone

yea don't want to piss off Godgers when he has an extension coming up. I'm willing to let McCarthy prove me wrong

Absolutely, now he knows he absolutely can't afford to miss the playoffs again or even make another deep run. Seat's warming up.

Gotta agree with this too, you know he put in a good word on his behalf.
