Packers interested in Fitzgerald

Switzer
Harbaugh sure did well with the 49ers
He is a legitimate person for the list, but...DAMN I HATE THAT GUY!!!!!
I tend to believe that you are right. Unless he grew up as a life long Packers fan. Then he might take it.

ESPN article says that the current Packers General Manager is the former Northwestern AD who hired Fitzgerald in 2006.
Could be a factor?

You are one of my favorite people. Go Pack Go (next season, may we have a healthy team). Go Big Red.
2.5 mil
I agree, I think Fitzgerald is a good fit in Evanston. I think he stays.
However, if I am wrong and he goes to Green Bay, may I suggest a restaurant in Sioux Falls, SD (can't remember the name of the place, but will find out if necessary) that made the best blueberry pancakes. Each one was 12" in diameter (filled an entire dinner plate) and loaded with blueberries. Best ever!!!!! 3 pancakes made an entire meal so that I didn't need to eat the rest of the day.
Unfortunately, that was almost 30 years ago (the days of never meeting a buffet I didn't like, or getting my money's worth out of a buffet. Ah, the good ol' days.). The restaurant may be out of business, or worse, shrunk the pancakes down to snack size.
2.5 mil is chump change for the Packers. Could see them offering him 5 million with a 4 year contract. The Packer HC job is just a tad more noteable then Northwestern to put it mildly. I think there's a good chance Fitz might take the job if offered since he's also friends with their CEO.
"Packers CEO and president Mark Murphy was Northwestern's athletic director when Fitzgerald was hired as the head coach at his alma mater in 2006."
If Fitz does interview then he's probably interested in the job or why bother? He's a very good coach and I wouldn't miss him coaching in the BIG even a little bit...........

Completely agree plus he is a really good person for young men to be around during those important college years. Wish we had more like him in the college game.
I didn't say always. I don't think it's a great fit for him, because is a huge rah rah guy, the only one above I can think of that was a real rah rah guy was Pete Carroll. I don't have the time to list all the one's who weren't successful. I guess #1 on my list would be Saban #2 Spurrier. If I find time to research more, I can better debate with you
Ok, here goes my counter list:
1. Nick Saban
2. Steve Spurrier
3. Bobby Petrino
4. Dennis Ericksen
5. Lou Holtz
6. Butch Davis
7. Mike Riley, lol
I know someone mentioned Switzer, but he was way more successful in college and I would argue even though he won one Super Bowl, he wasn't a fit in the NFL.
So just like everything else it depends on the guy
