Its a good thing for the SEC and Mississippi State that they got Croom before the axe fell......

This doesn't surprise me at all. In fact, I advocated it.
The Packers offense spent way too much time watching helplessly while the defense blew yet another lead: They blew a 17-pt 4Q lead over KC, a 4Q lead over Philly, a 7 pt lead over Seattle in the playoffs (when they failed to come with pressure and just allowed an easily rattled Matt Hasselbeck to pick them apart) and a 14 pt lead over Philly in the playoffs. Giving up that 4th and 26 play alone is grounds for firing.
I think the Packers defensive personnel is good. They must have scheme problems.

Lessee . . .the Packer season ends with an interception from Favre and they respond by firing the defensive coordinator?

The Packer defense has the talent, but the called defenses really sucked. The offensive coaching was even worse.
Sherman is firing the guy as an excuse for his own poor play selection.
They remind me of Buddy Ryan's analysis of a "Prevent Defense". That is it that it "Prevents you from winning".
A few Andre Waters type safety blitzes from a guy who knows how to hit would have knocked McNabb into a fetal posed, trembling scaredy-girl. Instead, they treated McNabb to "observe but don't touch status".

Any coach whose defense gives up 4th and 26, deserves to be fired.
But the offensive coach should be sacked, too. It is inconceivable for a team with one of the best running backs in the league and an excellent offensive line to pass on 3rd and 2. Ridiculous!

Of course, we Panthers fans were pulling for the Packers over the Eagles, because it would've meant the NFC Championship Game would've been played in Charlotte.
Ah, well. We must now go on the road in an effort to win one for Rush by knocking McNabb off his pedestal. It won't be easy, but we'll give it a shot.
GO PANTHERS!

Fired their DEFENSIVE COORIDNATOR...it was the DUMBAS** play calling on OFFENSE that cost them the game against Philly....twice inside the red zone and only three points because they tried to use DROP BACK PASSING and force the ball into the end zone...then much worse, they tried to pull Philly off sides with less than a yard to go for first down...got a penalty and had to kick the ball away with two minutes left....a first down could possibly have secured the game in regulation for them.
