The Packers have sent two coaches to the unemployment line this season (1 Viewer)

I was wondering if that has ever been done before. Wade Phillips and now Brad Childress have both been canned after humiliating defeats at the hands of the superior Packers. Has any other team in history handed two coaches their pink slips in a season?

:lmao:
 
Mike Singletary and Lovie Smith could go under the right circumstances. (Lovie much less likely now that the Bears have strung some wins, but its not out of the realm of possibility.)

 
I dont think Singletary will go since ownership has said that he will stay for the entire season. I'm sure the Packer game will only further prove why he should've been fired long ago, however.

 
Pretty sure it was their ineptitude that got them fired, not the Packers.
:thumbdown: Most thought chilly was going to get canned after losing to Arizona - except Favre pulled magic out of somewhere, had the game of his career and won them the game late. Would we then be giving props to the "superior" Cardinals?!?Dude, I get homerism, but step back and put down the funny cigs.
 
Both of the coaches were already dead. The Packers just lit the match to cremate them.
They were both dead but the posters point is semi valid in that in both cases it was the straw the broke the camels back. They weren't just losses, the Cowboys and Vikings got pounded.So far it's worked out well for the Cowboys, hopefully Vikings fans it'll help you guys out too because your defense gave up in the middle of that game.
 
Any truth to the rumor that Denver Fans for the Firing of Josh, a 501© (3), are trying to arrange to have the Packers play the Broncos this season. I think they are trying to switch opponents with N.E. for that weekend N.E. is supposed to play G.B.

No, that was 420 you were listening to.

Well?
correlation != causation
In many cases this is true. Not sure in this case however. The humiliation the Packers handed each team certainly contributed to the firings.

Contributed to in the sense of "every loss contributed", not in the sense of "a notable factor". Correlation = both coaches teams played the Packers prior to their firingCausation = the coaches had talented teams and should have gotten more wins than they did
 
Pretty sure all this was all ready covered in the Chilly fired thread. Including, who else might get axed after a loss to the packers and how its actually a somewhat irrelevant coincidence rather than a meaningful trend. But ya! those packers sure are good at beating horrendous football teams! :thumbup: :X

I was thinking it was getting blown out that was the last straw, but McDaniels didnt get canned after that Raiders game.....so ya it's gotta be losing to the Pack.
 
I'm some where in the middle on this. As a Packers fan it's a fun bit to throw out there. It's safe to say had these teams won these games the coaches wouldn't have been fired, they may have even kept there jobs until the end of the season.

 
Contributed to in the sense of "every loss contributed", not in the sense of "a notable factor".

Correlation = both coaches teams played the Packers prior to their firing

Causation = the coaches had talented teams and should have gotten more wins than they did
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Ummm... No. I'm absolutely accurate in my usage.You may want to use a dictionary before correcting a person's usage of a word.

Here's some help:

cor·re·la·tion [kawr-uh-ley-shuhn, kor-]

–noun

1. mutual relation of two or more things, parts, etc.

The mutual relation here is that both teams lost to the Packers.

I interpret it to mean this: If you are such a miserable coach that you can't even beat the Packers, then you gotta go!
 
More than anything, it points to how luck in scheduling plays a huge part in a team's record. The Packer's were fortunate to play both the Cowboys and the Vikings on the week that the wheels fell completely off. If the Pack plays in MIN on WK1, they would've had a difficult time getting a win. As it stands, they get two easy victories in a league where wins are tough to come by.

GB fans can beat their chests about sending coaches to the unemployment line if it makes them feel better, but the only lesson to be learned is that, as with H2H fantasy football, it's not just who you are playing, but when.

They are also pretty ace in the category of smoking playoff bound teams (Eagles, Jets) too!!!

That happens everywhere in the league.The Bears getting Miami when Thigpen takes over and their Oline is in shambles.It wouldn't have mattered when the Packers played the Vikings this year.GB is the better team this year.How would the Packers have had a difficult time in week 1?The Vikings were busy putting up all of 9 points on the Saints.

I am going to have to respectfully disagree with you....they have pounded more than just the Vikings and the Cowboys. And speaking of them...those were not just poundings...they were total eviscerations!!! Both teams were roundly humiliated in every possible way. For the season, the Packers are leading the league in point differential by a HUGE margin. Like any sport, point differential over the course of a season is a real true indicator of dominance over time.Examples:NFL:Philly: +58Giants: +33Patriots: +47Jets: +58Bills:-63Jags: -60Chargers: +63Packers: +108 :thumbup: Bears:+45Sorry friends, but they are smoking the rest of the league by a large margin; Pittsburgh is the closest at +70 their three losses all came during a time period where they were losing a crapton of players...11 lost to IR alone, including a few studs, with mainstays like Pickett, CMIII, and Driver all missing games. All this while they are playing one the hardest slates the league has to offer as their off-divison foes are AFC and NFC east!!!This week when they beat Atlanta on the road, they will start to get the attention they deserve...

Have you ever considered the theory that less is more? Have you considered that the information or the argument you wish to have out there will get there without your assist? Surely by now you have to recognize that your participation in a thread derails the thread making it about you and your style rather than the intended topic. How about giving it a rest, just once in a while? Even when I agree with you I recoil in horror that you are about to make things about you and will ruin the substance of yet another thread. You do realize, don't you, that you are "that guy". You are exhibit #1 in people arguing that Packer fans should be subject to denigration. As A Packer fan I am embarassed both for you and by you.

My participation in a thread doesn't make it about me. Posts like yours that discuss me and not the topic do.If you or others can't remain on topic and just want to go after me...fine. But quit blaming me for your actions and words.I made my case in this thread about what was said...I did not make it about me at all. You are attempting to do that.Care to discuss the topic? Or do you just want to complain that I posted in a Packer topic?

:coffee: The Packers have 11 player on IR now. They would have pounded the Vikes even worse opening weekend.

You can do what you will with my posting. Though it was nominally directed towards you it really was for consumption by others. It was simply a statement distancing myself from you. Sometimes distance is necessary to keep a smell from getting on oneself. I'm done, the last word, as always, is yours.
 
Pretty sure all this was all ready covered in the Chilly fired thread. Including, who else might get axed after a loss to the packers and how its actually a somewhat irrelevant coincidence rather than a meaningful trend. But ya! those packers sure are good at beating horrendous football teams! :rant: :confused:
They are also pretty ace in the category of smoking playoff bound teams (Eagles, Jets) too!!!
Maybe they'll get a rematch later this year. Think its the same outcome?

And yet another statement not on the topic but about me.Perhaps you should keep that to PMs or just put me on ignore.Either way, its posts like yours that muck up these threads, not me posting my opinion on a topic.

Could be. Both teams playing a bit different than they were in that game.

Oh I think Green Bay is better than Philly. Far better rounded.

Yeah, as a matter of fact I do think the outcome will be the same. Here are some facts for you:Two shutdown corners

A ballhawking freesaftey

An all-world pass rushing lb

Super deep D line with Raji, Jenkins, and Pickett providing pressure

great coaching

The offense is pretty good too.

packers 38 eagles 24

Packers 27. Jets 14

Hope we see it, it would be a great playoff game. Great offense vs. a great defense, hopefully in Philly ;-)

Great offense and great defense against a great offense.
 
Pretty sure it was their ineptitude that got them fired, not the Packers.
:pickle: Most thought chilly was going to get canned after losing to Arizona - except Favre pulled magic out of somewhere, had the game of his career and won them the game late. Would we then be giving props to the "superior" Cardinals?!?Dude, I get homerism, but step back and put down the funny cigs.
