Shermy Press Conference
Obviously emotional in his prepared statement.Reading past the cordiality, I think it's safe to say that he feels the firing is Unfair.
He feels that Thompson didn't give him a fair chance, stating that Thompson probably just wanted to hire his own man for the job.
He's obviously bitter, specifically at Thompson.
It's not a stretch to think that Shermy might feel (as I do) that at least part of the reason he was let go was to cover up for Thompson's mistakes as a GM that led to their miserable season.
Believes they would have won 10 games if not for the injuries. Thinks the Packers will be fine next year. He believes they just need a good draft to get back to their winning ways.
He doesn't really know why he was fired.
He definitely wants to coach again, and he WILL get another chance to be a head coach, possibly next year.
He hasn't thought about his future, but he wants to coach again.
Seems to be bothered that the firing seemingly had nothing to do with his coaching ability.
Thompson never asked him to change any of his assistant coaches.
Seemed most excited when talking about the game of football and it's challanges, and the fans.
Sounds like he has already started micro-managing around the house and driving his wife nuts.
Seemed more at ease towards the end of the press conference, cracking jokes.
Says he's not burned out on coaching. "Not even close."
