I think Mike Sherman is what we need. Living here in the midwest, I could not see a guy who was in a no-win situation more than him outside of maybe Haslett in 2005.
This guy had Farve crammed down his throat from day one. He couldnt even force this guy to commit to next season without the entire state of Wisconsin getting on his ass. He was forced to live and die with him and not even have the perk of having a super bowl QB teach the first rounder who was the future because Farve said he refused to teach the kid anything. He then loses Green who he wasnt really wild about to begin with becasue of the fumbleitis. He lost two OL to free agency and was really hurt by injuries on defense. Losing Mackenzie turned out to be huge and we all know were he stood at WR. They were getting ready to call Lofton out of retirement.
I understand he has a less than stellar playoff record but I would love to have a guy right now who has trouble winning in the playoffs because that would mean we were in the playoffs.
Reading the papers here, many of the oldtimers like Starr loved him and he was gone as soon as Favre decided he wanted to stay. Considering the hire by GB I know two things. He was made a scapegoat and GB will not be getting back to the playoffs anytime soon.

Im glad its down to us and the Raiders. We call the shots and there isnt any reason why we cant hire any of these other coaches we've seen as coordinators. But its doubtful.
