Reaction rolls in about the new head man in Green Bay.
The ink is dry on the contract, the introductory press conference is over, and now all that’s left for the Packers’ coaching search of 2019 is to decide what it all means.
The Packers have decided it means they got exactly the guy they were looking for. Of course, they did. Everyone always does, just like how every year, 32 NFL teams manage to draft the player that was at the top of their board in the first round.
Other observers will choose to take the Packers word for it. Some won’t. Either way, nobody will know for sure, since real, actual football is more than half a year away.
In the meantime, we can enjoy digesting platitudes from team executives and mission statements from the new Packers coach. We may not be able to actually decide what it all means, but that’s not going to stop anyone from trying.
