If Chryst is the "answer", I don't want to know the question. Going from one "meh" offensive coordinator to a guy that was so horrible that he had one short stint as an OC and was never offered another shot again. Chryst is a career QB coach, that is his basement and his ceiling, having him as the playcaller is a recipe for disaster.

Sarcasm detector is broken, I hope that is the case however. That was an atrociously bad offense, averaged about 16 points a game, finished 28th or 29th in the NFL for total offense.


He got canned because his playcalling made vanilla look exciting by comparison. He'd call runs up the middle on 3rd and forever, long passes on 3rd and short. If he held any promise as a playcaller, someone would have given him another chance in the ensuing 12 years, especially seeing as how guys like Jimmy Raye and many others got more chances. He's been a good QB coach, no reason he can't remain in that role.

I've never been a fan of the Peter Principle, or simply promoting someone just because they are "there."

I think if they fire Mularkey to take Roman, we need to make a hard run at him for OC. Mike is from the Walsh tree, big on power run game, famous for using players in unique ways and innovating gadget plays.....he is sort of like the west coast Norv, great OC s**te HC, and his style really really fits what we do.

It works for the Pats because they are grooming from within....we have only been in our system two years.

I really don't want to promote a weak coach to an important position just because he is already here.

Reid's system hates the run...not the biggest fan of coaches from his organization.

Having Tom Brady also helps.

who is the OC for Green Bay? I want an OC that is running the WCO at a high level and knows how to use it as a weapon and take it to a D.

I don't want some flashy new type of thinker who is gonna want to tinker. We have spent a lot of time and effort to assemble the players we currently have on O and I want us to stick with the WCO and use it like we used to.

Last thing we need is to bring in anybody who wants to change things up! Never worked with Alex and the O in the past and it wont help Kap grow either.

Mike McCarthy calls his own plays.

Perfect, bring in his OC Tom Clements. It would be a promotion if he actually got to do something on game day, but after looking over his resume, he's kind of ehh whatever. He has kinda bounced around alot until he got a gig where the head coach did his job.


Tom Clements born June 18, 1953, McKees Rocks, Pa. Quarterback Notre Dame 1972-74. Pro quarterback Ottawa Rough Riders (CFL) 1975-78, Hamilton Tiger-Cats (CFL) 1979, 1981-82, Kansas City Chiefs 1980, Winnipeg Blue Bombers (CFL) 1983-87. College coach: Notre Dame 1992-95. Pro coach: New Orleans Saints 1997-99, Kansas City Chiefs 2000, Pittsburgh Steelers 2001-03, Buffalo Bills 2004-05, joined Packers in 2006.

Hard to say.

Actually...LOL.....I think I heard he's in line to become the GM of the Chargers!?!

Can that be the same Jimmy Raye?

EDIT: Nope...its his SON that's up for the job.

How old is his son? 85?

i hope not!

I would go with Norv. Still think he is a quality OC and can develop young QBs. Plus, there isnt a chance in hell he ever gets a HC job again.
