Given how the Badgers are playing right now.......Barry would be sweet.<br /><br /><br />Sherman kept the team playing competively which I admire.......but to me the close games come down to coaching decisions. How many games did we lose that we lost by less than a single score??? Nearly every single one. (Baltimore being a big exception)Originally posted by roscoe:<br /> I hope he enjoyed his contract extension while he had it.<br /><br />I think they needed to do it to convince Favre that he should come back.<br /><br />I know it will never happen, but wouldn't it be cool if the new coach was named Barry Alverez?

<br /><br />I dunno Pony, ya might wanna pick a differnt picture, I saw Favre on tv say if Sherman got fired he was gonna retire.
Green Bay is notoriously brutal. Some of the "fans" (idiots) hung Dan Devines' dog when things went poorly for him while at Green Bay. It is easy to place blame not so easy to find solutions.Originally posted by Haut Medoc:<br /> Talk about a swift execution.....Did he get lynched at the stadium?....JK
The people and fans of Green Bay are some the best people you will meet. Most anyone who has come to Lambeau as a visitor will tell you that. <br /><br />"Notoriousy brutal" absolutely NOT, unless you believe one story of heresay that has been proven a lie. More evidence here <br /><br /> http://www.classicwisconsin.com/features/dandog.html <br /><br /><br />BASS MAN BRUCE: Favre I believe said the it would be easier to stay if Sherman did because then he might have to earn a new or slighty different offense. Thats not in any way concretely saying he would certainy leave...........His final decision will probably come after the middle of February. I personaly think he will come back.........so far its been mostly media heresay that caims he will prolly retire.From Dan Devine's autobiography:<br /><br />“Rumors circulated that some disgruntled fans or anti-Devine people had shot my dog,” he said in the book. “I honestly don’t believe that was what happened.”<br /><br />“We weren’t so lucky with another one of our dogs,” Devine continued. “It was only a couple days later, ironically, when the dog wandered over to a nearby farm and began chasing the farmer’s ducks. The farmer, a neighbor who we knew very well, fired a gun at the dog, intending to scare him and get him away from his ducks. Well, the bullet happened to hit the dog and killed him. He had every right to shoot at the dog, and he knew it and I knew it.<br /><br />“Still, he felt terrible about what happened. I saw him walking toward our house, carrying the dead dog in his arms, crying uncontrollably. He kept saying, ‘I didn’t mean to kill him,’ and I knew that was true. Still more rumors spread, even though it was a total accident, and that night I was down at his house, playing basketball with his kids."<br /><br />“All those rumors reflected badly on the good people of Green Bay. Most of the people we met were genuine and nice to us…"
