obie_wan Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 What we're saying is the Sherman's time was up. There is/was a reason many of his assistant coaches left for worse situations. The reason is, they weren't Sherman "yes" men. Sherman surrounded himself with his buddies, and any coach that challenged him was told to butt out. Seriously. Many of those who have left have said as much. That right there is enough for me to believe it was time for him to move on. And it isn't hard to believe considering he did the same thing as GM. In 2004, he didn't allow any of his scouts in the war room on draft day, essentially choosing to make every decision himself without being challenged. That's the guy's style. For what its worth, here are some comments from a PAckers fan regarding Mike Sherman "To me, Sherman's time was up, and the jury is out on McCarthy. I'm willing to give him time. The other stuff does matter when you have assistants who don't want to be here and players who don't want to be here (the Mike McKenzie situation comes to mind). When you start losing talented people because your head coach has issues that creates a problem. Exactly. How many players has Sherman run out? He runs off a guy like Mike McKenzie, yet can't seem to find a way to part ways with Cletidus Hunt? Doesn't make any sense. His 'guys' are always his guys, and more talented players and coaches have been alienated. Sherman wore out his welcome with a lot of people, including Ted Thompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my mistake, no he didn't. He had a 71 rating which isn't good, but sure better then 64, and he completed more then 61% of his passes, and threw for almost 4000 yards. But I guess in your book that is the same as 1300 yards and 49% completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I live across the street from a Packer fanatic and I asked him for his opinion of Sherman. He was lukewarm on him, of course his beloved team just fired the guy, so what do yoiu expect. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this supposed to be funny or clever? I don't understand these posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis in NC Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Wow. Let me cancel any previous (blind) endorsements of Sherman. He thinks his sh1t don't stink, eh? Fugg him. Not allowing any scouts in the war room on draft day?! What a pig. Not a guy I would want for the BIlls HC. Thanks for the Packer fans feedback!
