Former Packers DC Mike Pettine joining Bears Staff

[vabearsfan15]

I would have been happy with him as DC. This 8s a great move to me. Packers had their best defensive unit that I can remember. Yes, he had some rough calls in the NFCCG, but to be fired was an overreaction considering what he did there.

 

[vabearsfan15]

This can't be cause no legit coach will sign on to coach with the Bears with with the lame ducks in Pace and Nagy.

I'll be honest, I'm shocked that he would come here , but maybe all the DC positions filled up and he has revenge on his mind.

Nice i was actually hoping they’d get him after he was fired.

Hey maybe he can explain to Nagy why his offense is garbage

“We wanted to make Mitch play quarterback," Williams said. "We knew they had a lot of weapons, we knew they were dangerous, we knew all of those things. But we knew if we could make Mitch play quarterback, that we’d have a chance.”

IIRC, he's pretty tight with Matt Nagy and if he can help the defense get back to that 2018 level...he may even start getting some HC looks again.

Pettine also worked with Tabor and DeFillipo in Cleveland.

Touche

Hope he knows all of Aaron Rodgers dirty little secrets...

PS. Someone on this board said he wouldn't join the Bears after I said it would be a good add.

Think he wants revenge against his old team? Lol, sure seems like it!

I doubt he'll get revenge.
More like get crushed and probably retire.

Good hire, IMO. He significantly improved the Packers D. Had a bad shank so he became available. Surprising Pace got him.

 

[dennehy]

He fell on the sword. Not much you can do when Kevin King was as bad as he was. He's a solid DC.

If you aren’t good enough to coach defense for the Packers, perhaps wrong profession. Perhaps, pharmacy?

Not following your logic

The Packers haven’t been a great defense so my initial thought was that if they don’t want him than maybe he’s not a good coach and should do something else lol but I was just joking about that part. But I didn’t know much about him, and it seems like many think the Packers made a mistake so I’m with it. Hope he kills it.

True, but he could explain to the visored one that when your QB sucks, you don't have him throw 50 times while only running it 10x in a one score game. That's just the tip of the iceberg, really. Nagy has a webster's level list of dumb ass clock management, play calls, strategies, and late game decisions. Not to mention personnel decisions.

Hopefully Pettine agreed to take the job on the condition that Nagy ditches the visor forever in a fun new activity called, "Rip off and destroy the visor straight off the HC's head." First person to successfully rip the visor off, run it back to the endzone, and set it ablaze, gets to sit out every practice, pre-season game and even games if they wanted to. And they get a trophy. The rest of the team would of course receive a "You were you, and lost. Good job, loser" trophy. Good, clean, wholesome bonding at Halas Hall.

The missing piece...

 

[Adipost]

This reminds me of the Josh Sitton situation where the Packers oddly cut him and Pace immediately scooped him up.

Who even cares anymore?

i have no damn idea either.

 

[Perspective]

His defenses have always been very tough to attack via the air.....he has great pieces here on every level of the D..... let’s hope he can get Quinn and Mack to do what Zadarius Smith etc did in Gb and get the secondary to get more turnovers..... I love this hire

it also never hurts to get another input source into how to attack the packers O and who better to give that input than the guy who knows their system players coaches etc really well
