QuoteGreen Bay will move swiftly to begin interviewing candidates to replace him including Eagles offensive coordinator Brad Childress and former Packers' first-round pick and Giants defensive coordinator Tim Lewis.
my cousin graduated HS with Tim Lewis and played in the same defensive backfield as him on their HS team
isn't your cousin special....
I bet Childress gets it.
I really don't care if he leaves though. What worries me is if Morningwood gets the OC job. But if there really is friction between the FO & Marty maybe he'll be gone too.

That'll happen. ::)
Not that I am completely opposed to Reid having some responsibility taken away, but there is no way he gives up the HC job and sticks around.
I said in the other topic that if Childress leaves I think Mariucci is our new offensive coordinator.
I expect Mariucci to be a head coach somewhere next year.

As QBs coach from 1999-2001, he was responsible for McNabb's development. Just because he doesn't call the plays doesn't mean he has no input or doesn't design certain plays. Besides that, when looking for a head coach, you're looking for a manager, how he handles players, how organized he is, does he have a plan for the future of the franchise, how authoritative he is........ as I said in another thread, 1 bad year doesn't wipe out 5 seasons of accomplishment.
childress has done absolutely nothing to warrant anyone hiring him as a head coach...you may give him a shot as an oc...but a head coach?...no way not at this point...let him at least prove himself in running his own offense first

If a QB coach can get hired as a head coach in this league there must be a team out there dumb enough to go for Childress.

Who happens to have one of the top records of any coach around today. And that bumb of a personnel director insisted on picking a QB in the first round of his first draft over Ricky Williams. Oh yeah, he also fought successfully against his boss (Modrak) to make that QB McNabb not (shtein, I just drew a blank on the name of the QB the Bengals took).
He also had that stupid idea to make his first big FA pickup Jon Runyan, because that worked out poorly.
I think Mariucci has a good shot at another HC job next year. I'd think it'd be more likely that Mike Sherman ends up on the Eagles coaching staff if Childress gets a HC job.

I tend to agree with you. Wouldn't be surprised if Sherman ends up here.
if he leaves he leaves. i'll forget about him the second he's gone. if the off season doesn't go well, it wouldn't really matter if god himself is calling the plays.
We don't want Sherman....especially as OC.... He has no balls at all. he is a "nice" guy and a player's coach(w/no huevos). If you want 3rd & long dump passes to Westbrook over the middle he's your guy. If you like how he punted on 4th & short against us in the playoffs instead of winning the game he is again your guy. I pray he ends up in in NY or Dallas.

In the meantime, it appears that Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Brad Childress did not make his scheduled interview with the Packers because he was still in Minnesota where the Vikings were apparently making a strong push to hire him. A source close to the Eagles' coaching staff said late Wednesday night that he was told Childress had not yet left Minneapolis and hadn't made his scheduled interview with the Packers.
Childress, 49, interviewed with the Vikings Tuesday and was scheduled to meet with Thompson Wednesday.

So if the rumors are correct, and they are sold on Childress, they still have to bring in a token nterview. That's counterproductive, don't you think?

Falcons fire quarterbacks coach
Jan. 4, 2006
CBS SportsLine.com wire reports
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick will have a new position coach in 2006 after Mike Johnson was fired Wednesday.
"I have decided not to extend Mike Johnson's contract," coach Jim Mora said. "Mike has worked hard as our quarterbacks coach for the last two seasons and we wish him the very best in the future."
Among Johnson's possible successors could be third-string quarterback Ty Detmer, a 14-year NFL veteran who may retire. Detmer, who won the 1990 Heisman Trophy at Brigham Young, hasn't taken a snap since 2001. Mora declined to comment on Detmer's playing status.
Johnson, 38, coached the Atlanta receivers in 2002 before taking over quarterbacks the following season. Mora also announced that strength and conditioning coaches Al Miller and Rocky Colburn won't return.

No, we'll get Sherman to be the OC here and have another couple of years of poor suggestions coming from the assistants.

Also, it doesn't appear Sherman is interested in replacing Childress in Philadelphia, where he would be reunited with close friend Andy Reid. Sherman told WTMJ radio Thursday that he was interested in returning to football only as a head coach. The Eagles are expected to interview Kansas City offensive coordinator Al Saunders this weekend
Additionally, Childress might poach some coaches from the Eagles. I know there was a hot rumor on the EMB that Castillo and Harbaugh were going with him, possibly Pat Shurmur as well. If that's the case, they may move Marty to QBs coach and bring in Saunders as OC. Plus, they'd then have to find a new line coach and STs coach.
bye.
hopefully they'll hire someone that can
a. make reid understand game management. (timeouts, getting plays in, two minute drill.. etc).
b. make reid understand the meaning of keeping a defense off balance. (ex. no play action with parry in the back field on 3rd and 20).
c. make reid understand what a running game is.
Reportedly Reid will not let Shurmur go.
But Childress is going to take Spagnuolo as his DC (or McDermott).
Good for Childress. He just went from the easiest job on Earth to the most difficult. Hope he's being well paid.
I will be very interested to see how Childress runs the Vikings offense. Should tell us a lot about what kind of input he really had here.

I hope he doesn't make Onterrio "the Whizzinator" Smith or any of the other knuckleheads in the locker room as angry as TO got by saying "Hey Onterrio".
I'm glad Brad's getting a chance to show he has some coaching ability. I'm sure he got sick of hearing about how he's nothing but Reid's glorified errand boy with the OC title.
I wish the dude well. Minny does have alot of pieces to be a serious player (especially in that division). There are rumors of Culpepper possibly being delt, and that could bring in shtein load of picks and or trade talent. The biggest thing I think Minny needs is discipline and commitment to a system. Never really would have thought Childress would have been their man. Actually, he was their fallback plan anyway, they wanted Williams out of D.C. Meh, hope he does well, but the Iggs crush him.

So wait, do you know what they're anouncing? I havne't heard anything about this.
From Spads:
QuoteForward-Thinking Reid Has A Staff To Address
January 6, 2006
Andy Reid saw this coming three years ago, maybe longer. He knew that Brad Childress was an up-and-coming young coach, destined to be a head coach, and that some day he would leave the Eagles' staff.
That day has come. Childress is the new head coach of the Minnesota Vikings. Great for him. He deserves the opportunity, and here is wishing him the best of luck.
The challenge for Reid is to make sure Childress' departure -- and a potential domino effect on this Philadelphia coaching staff -- doesn't set the Eagles back a hair in 2006.
As I write this, the Eagles haven't set a word officially about the next step here. But we're not foolish. We all know that Marty Mornhinweg is next in line for the job. He's had the title of Assistant Head Coach for three seasons and he's got an innovative, experienced offensive mind. Mornhinweg had input into the offensive script and success the last few seasons, so if he becomes the new offensive coordinator, nobody would be surprised and nobody would expect much of a difficulty in transition.
That's the good news. That's the encouraging news. Reid probably knew -- understanding how he thinks -- from the day he hired Mornhinweg that Marty M. would be the next step in the offensive coordinator progression. See, Reid understands the big picture, and he knew when he hired Rod Dowhower back in 1999 that Dowhower would be here for a couple of seasons before turning over the reins to Childress. And then when it became apparent that Childress was destined for a head coaching job, well, it just so happened that Mornhinweg was done in Detroit after a two-year stint as the head coach and that he would fit in very nicely here.
And so he has.
That's that. But here is where the domino effect factors in, and we won't likely know just how significant that will be until Childress gets around to naming his staff: How many current Eagles coaches will become part of the Minnesota coaching picture?
This is where Reid's understanding of the scope of the coaching move is going to pay off. Certainly, you'd figure, Childress will dip into the Eagles' coaching staff to take to Minnesota. He's worked side-by-side with the men here for years, through good times and through tough times. He knows them and trusts them and will probably want to go to battle with them in another city.
So if that is the case, Reid is going to have to fill another hole or two or three within his staff. It is the price of success, and the Eagles have had plenty of that in the last six years to the point now where some coaches who have been here during that time -- Childress, possibly Ron Rivera, now in Chicago -- are moving up the food chain to become head coaches.
So we'll see as the day progresses. The Eagles are quiet now, but that could change as the day moves along. There is food for thought to consider, internal changes that are significant.
Morningwood is gonna be the guy for sure :-\
Frikkin' A.
Hope for 8-8 next year if Mohrninweg is the OC. He makes Reid look like a "clutch" head coach.

Dude, wtf?
REID MAKES THE PLAYCALLS! The OC is a title that barely means shtein. We knew that with Childress for how many years? We know that now.
Yeah, Childress does nothing. That's why he's now getting a head coaching gig. He's useless. Yay Marty.
I'm just trying to keep it real. This team needs a fresh perspective, not a re-tread who has thus far only contributed bad ideas to the team as follows:
1. "T.O. is a good guy deep down. Get him here, and the positive team environment will keep him under control."
2. "Mike McMahon is a good QB who was in a bad situation in Detroit. Let's bring him here to back up Donovan."

Not only that but Morningwood is even more pass happy than Reid, if that is even farging possible. It would have been nice to have someone around at least to suggest Reid run the farging ball. ::)
I'm not saying they will go 8-8, but hopes of a Super Bowl win with
zippy for a run game are pretty remote.

I trust your sources--I just read on PFW.com that Shurmur went with Childress.
It's a shame about Sherman, but I understand his position.
He got jobbed in that firing, becuase of a (REALLY) bad year. He has a winning record with them, went to the playoffs, but had a really zesty cast this year. I would place the blame more on the GM than him. I think he would be good as an OC here.
He didn't get jobbed. He was an idiot, with a great track record of idiocy. After 4th and 26, he fires his defensive coordinator, who goes to Atlanta and immediately forms on of the best Ds in the league the following year.
He fell asleep at the Combine and got caught on film last off-season. He should've been fired sooner.
Sherman can cram it. Deep.
That game is over if he runs the ball on 4th and 1. The Eagles didn't stop the run all day and when he needs it most he decides not to. Sherman was a bad head coach. Same reason I don't want him here on the staff. Even though he probably wouldn't do anything anyway, that's what everyone said about Marty, and one disgruntled jerk and a bad backup QB later we are all calling for his head.
It's worse than that. He Hoydad out, because they stuffed him to end the first. I had no problem per se with the punt. But if you blitz on downs 1-3 and get 2 sacks and an incompletion, why not blitz on 4th?
Has Sherman won a playoff game? I can't recall.
