Coach Killers?


The most peculiar thing dawned on me today when a friend of mine brought it to my attention.  The Green Bay Packers have won their past 4 games (2 against the Minnesota Vikings *lowers head*) upsetting a lot of fans out there.  But this is what I want to point out; within the past 3 weeks, the Packers have managed to get the head coaches of both the Minnesota Vikings & Dallas Cowboys fired after winning those games.

Have the Green Bay Packers become coach killers?

Sunday, November 7th, they upset the Cowboys 45 - 7.  The following [Monday] afternoon, Dallas Cowboys head coach, Wade Phillips was fired.  *scratches head* In this scenario, I saw it necessary BUT I think that they should have at least let Phillips finish out the season.  But after taking a week off to enjoy that defeat over the Cowboys, the Packers returned this past Sunday, November 21 to face the Minnesota Vikings at Mall of America stadium; where they upset Favre & the gang 31 - 3.  That following Monday, news spread about the firing of Vikings head coach, Brad Childress.  [sidenote: it's not Childress, it's Brett...I'm just sayin'!!] What a coincidence?

The Green Bay Packers, with a current 7-3 record, 1st in the NFC North, have only lost 3 games and in each game, they only lost by 3 points.
                           v. Chicago 20 - 17
                           v. Washington 16-13 OT
                           v. Dolphins 23-20 OT

and have played against some pretty still competition, so you can't knock them of their hustle.  We'll have to see what Aaron Rodgers & his camp do against the Atlanta Falcons this weekend.  

The Green Bay Packers...coach killers?  Who would've thought?  LoL.
