Green Bay's new head coach

I thought it very appropriate that my first post be about the Green Bay Packers, as I've been a diehard fan for the past 25 years. Yes, through the lean years of the 80's and the success of the 90's, but now what? First, a brilliant move in letting Mike "I'm so confused I must perform fellatio on this pen" Sherman go. This guy has done nothing but set records as the head coach. Granted, these records aren't positive, but they're records none the less. Who can forget the Packers first home playoff loss in team history against the Atlanta Falcons in a snowstorm! Yes, team history. We're not talking about the Yoooston Texans here, this is a storied franchise which has been around since 1919! The team no longer has a home field advantage. Sherman also had his hands in the batter, when making awful GM decisions. Impotent draft picks and a wide array of boneheaded contract extensions have the Packers looking at a bleak future, especially if Favre comes back.
Now, Ted Thompson has given the reigns to Mike McCarthy, clearly not the best man for the job, but perhaps Thompson is betting that this will keep Favre around for at least another season or two, which is clearly the team's best chance for resurrected glory. That being said, would you come back if you were Favre? Should you come back if you're Favre? I think that is a question that can only be answered by Brett after Mr. Thompson tells him what the blueprint is. As a Packer fan, I have to say with the 15+ million dollars under the cap, and a semblance of an offense, the Packers need to sacrifice the long term for one last short term run. This means still using your first round pick on a playmaking defensive beast like Ohio State's AJ Hawk, or Mario Williams of NC State who's a football player with the dimensions of an NBA power forward. Next money must be spent to bring in a playmaking veteran wide receiver, an above average offensive guard and another presence or two in an unexperienced and untalented secondary.
These are just one man's thoughts...
