Every time they hired a new head coach in Green Bay, back in the 70s and 80s, we referred to it as a 4 year plan for defeat. Even coaches we liked as players, failed miserably on the sideline. Forrest Gregg came in - a savior, look what he'd done in Cincy - and said; "I'm gonna turn this program around.
The Packers were 8-8 the year before and by cracky, he got it right. They went 8-8! In fact, that's what they did for what???? 3 years? Then they got their butts handed to them, and Gregg was gone. I know Starr was there longer. It was just a figure of speech to anyone who wants to be a stats Nazi.
The problem starts in the front office. Get back to a hierarchy that works. A chain of command, not a mish-mosh of people reporting to one person. That just doesn't work. There is no accountability this way. Until all this straightens out, don't expect any miracles on the field, because nobody will be able to show they have the authority to make players toe the line, and that begins with Rodgers, who has developed into a spoiled brat who needs his arse paddled by a coach who can teach him respect.
