I wonder how much weight the Packers put into getting a "Favre friendly" coach? I'm not disrespecting Favre but it does seem like the Packers are almost being held hostage by Favre's approaching retirement.
It seems like the front office is very concerned that the don't do anything that might frustrate Favre and hasten his retirement.
Which is odd because the front office (namely, Ted E. Thompson, suuuuper genius) spent the entirety of 2005 trying to drive Favre out of town.
They need Favre to make up his mind for the good of the team.
Favre is an interception throwing machine. Let him retire and be done with it.
