    I wonder if the last straw was the Lebanese flag he was wearing on his sleeve in London?

    You guys can thank this incoming hurricane and the lack of power for my not going full blown nuclear negativity on this board if it ends up being a Hackett promotion.

    WOW. I am STUNNED by the timing of this. This proves there was a LOT happening behind the scenes. Rodgers' appearance on McAfee will be interesting.

    Too bad it didn't work out, but was hard to deny he was cutting it as a HC.

    Thank god they picked Ulbrich over Hackett, who, newsflash, isn't going anywhere

    Very curious how Ulbrich looks as HC honestly. The defense isn't perfect but it's consistently at least good (despite the GM's mismanagement of key positions) and can adapt.

    This is the critical move that needed to be made, and clearly needed to be made in the offseason.
    I said in the offseason JD always leaves one obvious major loose end, with the potential to sink an entire season. Every year.
    This year it was Hackett.

    Baby steps would be firing Hackett first. He is the real problem with this team.

    They gotta get someone who can help them on offense though. Hackett isn't capable I think, he's lost whatever magic he has had mainly due to him being predictable

    LaFleur scapegoated because Douglas just couldn't be wrong about Zach. Now Saleh scapegoated because Douglas just couldn't be wrong about Rodgers/Hackett. Better hope Ulbrich is the second coming of Dan Campbell because coaching candidates who aren't Gase or Hackett-level bad are going to stay far away from this hellhole.

    Because he is the worst coach in the nfl or maybe woody “heard him say we’re gonna keep doing what we’re doing and we’ll be fine?” Or maybe the stupid cadence speech?

    Look, I want Hackett out of here more than anyone, but you CAN'T just paintbrush this as a scapegoating. The guy's career record was TERRIBLE.

    I posted yesterday that the patch was more likely to get Saleh fired than his incompetence.

    Ulbrich is just a stopgap to get through the rest of this season. He's not HC material, a good DC but that's about it.

    They promoted Ulbrich but that Hackett is still here should be enough for nuclear negativity. More seriously though, I hope you and your family make it through the hurricane alright.

    Right, on the surface Salah was a very good speaker but he was mostly HOT AIR, NO RESULTS

    The guy was getting outclassed every week by the opposite staff
