Belichick should retire if the Pats don't make a wildcard. His drafting and free agency work has been a disaster the last half decade. He's about to reach the tipping point where his coaching acumen no longer makes up for his poor GM work.

Saleh has yet to prove he actually brings any advantage on gameday. Why would he survive a failed fourth season?

Also, Belichick isn't getting fired c'mon. He might retire simply because there's never been a NFL coach who started a season over age 72 ever, but he ain't getting forced out.

I think you are severely underestimating Kraft's ego and pre-Belichick history of interfering with the team.

He also really like Alex Van Pelt I guess? He has his guys.

I always thought that Rodgers had a very valid complaint there. You're gonna to replace a veteran QB's quarterback coach without even asking him about it? Rodgers wasn't really wrong with most of his complaints about the Packers. Certainly they didn't try very hard to build around him in the back part of his time there.

Green Bay -- a small-town team very reliant on revenue-sharing and sustained success -- was justified in perpetually planning for the future.

I think he’s just saying that the Packers are getting their ~$400m per year from revenue sharing regardless if they’re good or bad.

Thank you.

"Small market" is an owner myth used as an excuse to let them not spend money. Every team in the league, including the Packers, can easily spend more than the current salary cap is

Green Bay doesn't have a billionaire who can bankroll the team through lean years. They explicitly have something like $400 million stashed away in a reserve fund for this reason. It's been a while since I looked at the numbers but iirc the majority of the Packers' income comes from the revenue share.

If the team starts sucking for an extended period of time the league won't hesitate to move the franchise, they won't care about all the cute little bylaws forbidding this.

This is ridiculous on many levels. The most ridiculous is the idea that they would ever move out of Green Bay. Not even Roger Goodell would have the audacity.

If you go by what Forbes estimated in 2022 the Packers had the league's 10th most revenue: $543 million. For comparison, the Lions had the lowest at $452 million. With the exception of the Cowboys, the majority of every team's revenue comes from the league's revenue sharing system.

Yeah, you know the problem though. Joe Douglas deserves the blame - and to be fired - for this mess, and if he goes you have that awkward New GM/Old Coach combo.

Douglas has drafted well though, except for the Wilson pick at the beginning of his tenure. I imagine the Rodgers pick was in part influenced by the owner.

He's now twice screwed up the most important position on the roster. How many chances does he get? Three?

Actually I would say Douglas screwed up the QB position three times already. They saw how goddamn awful Wilson was in 2021, and went into 2022 with Joe Flacco as QB2.

This whole saga is just more evidence that cutting bait on your failed blue chip QB is the way to go.

The only thing that should save Douglas is if he comes out this week and either trades for a QB or says that they will move on from Rodgers and Wilson after the season.

Saying he would move on from Rodgers would ensure he's fired. We gave up way too much to drop him without seeing if he can come back and play next year. Personally I doubt he could, but the alternative is accepting that we're hosed for the rest of this year and the next with nothing to show for it and no way to recover. So what, you commit to giving the guy who fumbled that hard 3 more years to get us back on track? No way in hell.

It's a sunk cost at this point. They wasted two years on Wilson and now one year on Rodgers. You wanna gamble ANOTHER year on a 40 year old QB coming off an achilles?

If Bill really wants the record, and is self-aware enough to recognize that the clock is ticking and the win rate is slowing down, then he could come out with a statement of "I'm over 70, the mind is willing but the flesh is a bit weak, I'll coach til I die but will bring on an AGM who'll take on more responsibility over time" or something.

Media will run with it regardless of what we know is actually going on, and history would laud him for taking that track instead of bitterly hanging on to both gigs while the team spiraled.

Obv everything above is hypothetically possible but realistically improbable. Ah well.

Let's pretend that happened. Whomever they bring in will just be Bill's bitch. The fundamental problem is that he still thinks talent doesn't matter as much as being a good role player.

Mark Davis was pretty slick if you read the details of how the move to Vegas actually went down and how he ended up with that stadium paid for.

But he clearly doesn't have any kind of measurable football IQ and can't seem to surround himself with people who do.
