Our Fate
Well, we know Shermbutt's fate. They'll be ripping the GM stripes off his lapel in a public ceremony at 3:30 today.Huzzah
Here's some scuttlebut I heard over the last 12 hours:
Favre Not Happy with Offense
The Big Unit on 620 talked at length last night about a lot of frustration and hard-feelings on the OFFENSIVE side of the ball. This frustration comes from Favre himself and other offensive players.
He would not elaborate too much for fear of identifying his source, but he did say that his info came from more than one Packer player.
Apparantly, the playcalling and offensive gameplanning are the biggest problems. Favre isn't happy. They aren't allowed to do some things they think they should be doing. They aren't satisfied that the offensive gameplan is sufficiently thought out.
It's clear that the players do not always feel properly prepared to play.
Add this to the fact that the defensive players obviously were not prepared, and you have grounds for the immediate firing and caning of Shermbutt.
This information was amazing to me, because we had always been led to believe that Favre was a Shermbutt backer. I guess not.
Favre Likely to Retire
At least part of the reason Favre is heavily considering retirement is because of the coaching, and the Big Unit believes Favre will likely retire. There are three things that are pushing Favre in that direction:
1. His family. Breanna is puking and losing her hair, going through Kemo. The oldest daughter lives in Mississippi and goes to school, so he doesn't get to see her. The youngest daughter wants Favre to be home.
2. The defense. Favre vocally complained about the defense after the Vikings game. He doesn't vocally complain to the media very often, so you know it's a big deal.
3. The offense. An area that we all thought was a non-issue after Rossley had one too many Krispy Kremes.
Shermbutt Pissed About Demotion
Also, on the Green Bay Grapevine this morning, Mark Daniels said he saw Shermbutt's daughter last night and asked her what the mood was around the house. The mood is not good. Shermbutt is mad about the demotion, and it accepting it VERY reluctantly.
Slowik Almost Certainly Gone
Some or all of the defensive staff will be gone as well. Suprisingly, it appears that little Schottenheimer might survive the cull.
