  1. I can't earnestly speak to this. It would appear, from afar, however, the Brewers run a good organization and treat their employees quite well. But, I don't have any direct experience with this whatsoever. Again, I'm going to trust we have one of the better run outfits in MLB.
  2. Yikes. Another sobering look at Manfred's MLB environment. I have to say, personally, having been aware of aspects of what this article speaks to for some time this is why I never once begrudged a Milwaukee Brewer Front Office staff member from seeking employment or opportunity elsewhere. I can only hope the Brewers organization, as a whole, is operating with good practices and noble intentions - yes, even in the world of big business this is possible.
  3. All in all, despite the semi-final loss, that was a fabulously productive AFL season for the Brewers and possibly a springboard for their three men abroad. Congrats to all involved! Now, fly home safely and get ready for the upcoming season.
  4. There are a few whispers from Green Bay tonight that Christian Parker has been offered the position. Nothing confirmed as of yet and there was no word on whether he said 'Yes'. But there are substantiated 'rumors' at this point. FWIW. This could, of course, be premature unvetted speculation but, if this is the case, I'm pretty excited about it.
  5. Two Packer Report items have me fairly pumped: And, more importantly over the duration of the next couple months, this collab with Andy Herman and the Pack-a-Day pod looks to be sublime: Ross knows ball and the Packer Report draft guide has a really good grasp on Packers tendencies.
  6. They get a Legend. The Sounds stadium flags are flying at half mast today. Who will enter the broadcaster's booth in the final home-stand now?!? Sigh.
  7. Three more names thrown into the fire: Bills LB coach Bobby Babich Dallas D-Line coach Aden Durde I have to imagine we'll be seeing quite a few more names in the coming days as well. LaFleur obviously knows this is a crucial hire. I remind myself: I didn't know anything about LaFleur before he was hired either. The third name? Rising Broncos DB coach Christian Parker. *Also shown below. This post will no longer be obsessively edited*
  8. Two super experienced and quality Assistant Coach gets by Rivers today. Joerger lost his luster as a head coach, for the time being, but historically he is seen as a really good tactical and X's and O's guy - a top notch assistant. Hard to understate how good of a get this could be (emphasis on could) be for Rivers who is notoriously not an X's and O's guy but more a big personality. You then couple that with the experience and familiarity of Kalamian and the Bucks are ready to hit the ground running: No more excuses from here.
  9. It's what we do as a Packers culture: overreact and generally expect the worst.
  10. Just 3-4 years ago Staley coached the NFL's best defense by a good margin. They had Donald and Ramsey, yes, but they also had a roster outside these two stars filled with players who outperformed their careers beyond that magical season. This being said, Staley never had a defense better than 20th (Eeeeek, Barry vibes!😅) while a head coach in LA. Can he recapture that 2020 magic? I have absolutely no clue. At this point, it's just an interview and why would you not interview a guy with his CV? If it became serious, admittedly I'd be super skeptical he still has it as a coordinator. Failed HC's certainly are known to reclaim their glory as coordinators. And, I think LaFleuer and Staley could form a dynamic duo. BUT, I'd be nervous as all get out we made the wrong choice.😅
  11. I personally feel as tho if we happened to go with Leonhard and he wanted back in the candidacy for the Packers D-Coordinator, we'd get the hungriest version of him. He had unfinished business at Wisconsin. He tended to it. He was bypassed for the head coaching gig. With a year off to heal and to study and or reflect, I'd have to think we'd get the hungriest version. I would be excited about the hire. Why would we not be?! We just had Joe friggin' Barry leading the defense!
  12. Logged into Twitter to peruse any possible Packers D-Coordinator news. Somehow wound up in a Taylor Swift AI post. Didn't see that coming from all the hoopla!😅
  13. Well, one thing we now know: With Haslem buying into ownership, the Bucks absolutely have that coveted 'F' You money all sports teams wish they had. Sheesh. That's some cheddah!
  14. SIX pages on Hoskins and, yet, not even a single page on Arroyo?!? It truly is our off-season.🤭
  15. What a well-deserved opportunity for Nick Stanley! (Full Carolina Press Release HERE)
  16. @TURBO: Get ready for your new manager. In a system filled with great coaches, I personally feel the crowned jewel will be in the Fox County dugout😉.
  17. Nice to see David Tufo awarded that 2024 permanent bench coach position with Nashville! HUGE promotions across the board. Wisconsin is going to LOVE Victor Estevez. What a day! What a time to a Brewers fan! LET'S GO!
  18. No clue here. Maybe the hamstring issues?
  19. Well by most measures Joe Barry is a phenomenal LB coach. And a really good guy. I will continue to celebrate he will never call plays for a Packers defense again.
  20. Thank the Heavens there is a Football Gahhhhhd! Today is a FINE day! A FABULOUS day. What an incredible 24 hours for Wisconsin professional sports.
  21. Whoa! LFG! What an absolutely wild week of Wisconsin professional sports.
  22. Doc Rivers is not a good Head Coach. BUT, this would 100% be an upgrade. Griffin was a complete disaster. It can't get worse. I'll be very very curious to see the entirety of this small list.
  23. Thank the heavens there is a basketball god. I'd be harder pressed to find a worse NBA head coaching job than what Griffin had put forth. I am interested in Bucks basketball again!
  24. Just to add some body to the 'brief (two appearances) stint': Full Article Here (MLB Trade Rumors)
  25. Of the 3 you list, Leonhard is a possibility considering their past attempts to hire tho it feels as though he is committed to the college game? I don't personally know enough about the depth or pool of League wide qualified candidates. Wink Martindale carved out an incredible reputation with the Ravens. He didn't work miracles in New York but his teams played tougher than their personnel and they still had elite 3rd down defenses. What I do know, from my own vantage point, is Joe Barry was never the right hire. And he still isn't the right man for the job. The historical results prove this in every season he leads a defense. He calls timid stuff when it matters most and a crucial stop is near impossible when he's at the helm - let alone the infinite number of 3rd and longs his defenses allow. His HC had to perform an intervention after two utterly embarrassing performances at New York and Carolina. I, for one, hope they aren't fooled by the late season performances. They were much better, yes, but all the warts still reared their heads in crunch time. He is who he is at this point and that most definitely is not enough for a team that is ready to play for Super Bowls in 2024. They need better. They need more creative; more aggressive; more innovative. Match LaFleur on the defensive side of the ball.
