NGT: GB fires Associate Head Coach after Aaron Rodger tweet

Rodgers won't have input in who we hire as coach! - Packers Front office.


riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight....

The Russian roulette of society.

but I think he is right on the substance.

some people never learn!

Having said that, Aaron Rodgers is an asshole.

Idiotic to post that on Twitter. You'd think he'd have more common sense.

Before tweeting.

Internet is forever

But Rodgers must be a complete ass for Moss to post this on twitter knowing full well the backlash he would receive.

I'll do you one better. Don't tweet. Especially when referring to a coworker/employee.

that posting shit on social media is dangerous to their jobs.

I do enjoy a good train wreck though.

That is a fine way to get let go of with your full salary and get a jump on your next gig with Mike M.

back McCarthy and he felt he had to stand up for the rest of the coaches.

Sad that a QB has that much influence over the coaching staff.

or:

1. He knew this would get him fired and felt it was worth tweeting in 'defense' of McCarthy anyway
2. Has a job lined up with McCarthy wherever he ends up

in his follow-up tweet about being let go?!

Hahahaha

for this?

This doesn't seem like an extraordinary act of stupidity or a deliberate attempt to get let go?

George Costanza doing donuts with the WS trophy was the pre-Twitter equivalent.

bothered going to McCarthy during the week or even in training camp and see if they could get on the same page. It seems careless for both of them to not try and work together.

I saw an old NFLN special a few years ago about BB and Brady and it showed how much time they spent together 1 on 1 in BB's office going over film together. Why wouldn't these two try and have a meeting of minds instead of backstabbing like a couple of teenagers?

made his opinion known behind closed doors for some time. With the realization that he is likely gone at the end of the season when a new regime is installed, he chose the timing now, to make his opinion public. He was going to be fired either way. It is just a matter of now or in 4 weeks. If he made a comment in 4 weeks, it would be dismissed as a disgruntled employee. By posting the comment now, it gives a bit of insight that perhaps there has been some organizational pandering to Rodgers and holding him to a different standard than others.

GB implode mainly because I have a few friends/acquaintances that were all of a sudden GB fans starting in the mid to late 90's. Also because Rodgers seems to act like a prick and Favre was a prick.

Wise move by a lame duck coach looking for employment next year. The guy has been interviewed for head coaching jobs recently. This is minor, but in a role where good decisions are crucial he just made a dumb one publicly

“Hire McAdoo as Coach”

Question for those that say it was stupid to post but agree with what was tweeted, if you were in charge would you have fired Moss?

Of course. That's the kind of stuff you want everyone to keep in house. With players, it's tricky because they're a lot harder to replace. With a member of the coaching staff, who's easier to replace and is supposed to be held to a higher standard? No doubt about it.

LOL.

And, I don't understand what he's trying to say.

Rodgers own family no longer like him

An assistant coach pulling a jerry maguire rant, calling out a player like that on social media is career suicide.

Absolutely. When you go public with that kind of criticism of your employer or other employees, you need to be fired. It does not matter at all if the criticism is valid or not.

If you have something to say, go to management. If they ignore you then you can choose to deal with it or leave. But this is not some kind of corporate whistleblower who deserves respect for speaking up.

If a player.. say Sterling Shepard, got on Twitter and started taking shots at Eli and saying the staff isn't holding him accountable, you would be OK with that? Only different is, this isn't a 25 year old receiver. It's a coach and supposed leader who should know better.

If you have a high profile job you have so much to lose and so little to gain.

If you really need to vent-find a wife, a friend a shrink or a dog. Jeez.

You made it seem like Rodgers made a negative comment about a coach in a tweet and then the coach was let go. You should've just gone with something closer to the actual headline of the article you shared: Packers fire associate head coach Winston Moss after tweet about Aaron Rodgers

article, which I copied and pasted into the link.

well, at least the coach wasn't fired 3 years ago.

Who wouldn't fire this guy?

Whining about Lombardi standard while coaching on that D for years...how about the plank in your own eye?

and everybody and their mother have been coming out of the woodwork smearing Rodgers since McCarthy got fired.

he still get paid for the season. Are coaches salaries guaranteed thru the contract?

just trashed the organization and the franchise QB in one tweet. This was suicide-by-cop.

C'mon, for someone who spends a lot of time bemoaning the hit jobs by the media, that doesn't fly.

So when everyone ran around posting articles from unnamed sources and scouts about how Eli was done, was there smoke there as well?

I'm sure there's a good chance Rodgers is a grade A asshole. At the same time, he had a borderline incompetent coach for some time now, and everyone knew it. They've underperformed yet again, and the coach got the axe. Given that it was rumored that he and Rodgers weren't seeing eye to eye, articles smearing Rodgers are easily written and draw a lot of eyeballs for the media, right up their alley.

The coach probably had a good relationship with McCarthy and went down with him. Just stupid on the coaches part, but how does this have anything to do with Arod? Did he call ownership to point out the tweet and suggest they fire him?

The Associate Head Coach was in no way, shape or form fired because of anything Aaron Rodgers did. He was fired by the organization for a stupid tweet in which he mentioned Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers may or may not be an asshole, but "Aaron Rodgers got this guy fired" is an incorrect interpretation of this story. The associate coach got fired because he is an idiot.

LOL

Because after 1 title in 13 years despite his incredible individual numbers - he may have gotten a head coach fired?

That makes no sense. It's a business and I don't blame Rodgers for wanting to try something new. The analogy to Brady and BB is irrelevant since those two have 5 titles and 8 Super Bowl appearances.

This assistant coach deserved his dismissal. And who are all these people coming out of the woodwork about AR? We have one felon TE and a couple of McCarthys friends... that's not everyone or even close to it

And that more than anything else is why he has only one championship, despite his talent.

What coach is going to join an organization where the inmates run the asylum? I predict Ben McAdoo will be the next coach because nobody with a proven track record is going to join an organization where the star player calls the shots.

So only those of pure heart win multiple Superbowls? Interesting take.

Yeah, what coach would want to take over a team with a HoF QB in his prime signed long term? They'd be lucky to get a special teams coordinator from D-3 school.

but would interview for Cleveland.

Cleveland has a ton of young talent on both sides of the ball. That team isn't far from being good.

A soap opera for men. Where's my popcorn.

Cleveland is an up and coming team, and everyone knows right now who is running the show in Green Bay.

Winston Moss tweeted this knowing Aaron Rodgers would fire him for it.

Any owner/GM would fire a coach for tweeting that, regardless of the QB's input or lack thereof.

Wouldn't you fire a coach for tweeting that if you were the owner or GM?

it’s the usual spin by the usual
BBI suspects

This coach committed career suicide by taking organizational business to twitter. Any coach in any sport doing this should have and likely would have been fired.

The inference that Rodgers had this guy fired is completely false and intentionally misleading.

Well then... case closed. Bruce Arians said so.
