Former Green Bay Packers coach Mike Holmgren said his old team is to blame when it comes to the splintered relationship with franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
“They didn’t handle it very well, I don’t think,” Holmgren said Friday during a radio appearance on the ”Carmen & Jurko” show for ESPN Chicago.
“It’s not good, that’s for sure,” Holmgren said of the current relationship between Rodgers and the Packers. “I can’t imagine a relationship between the coach or management or whoever is making the decisions and the starting quarterback like that getting to this point. I just can’t imagine it. I wouldn’t allow it. It wouldn’t happen. But now, it has happened.”

The Green Bay Packers deserve plenty of blame for their current predicament with Aaron Rodgers that’s what one of the organization s former head coaches believes, at least.
Mike Holmgren, who coached the Packers from 1992-98, is perplexed that Green Bay has put itself in a position where its franchise quarterback wants out.
“It’s not good, that s for sure,” Holmgren told ESPN Chicago’s “Carmen & Jurko.” “I can’t imagine a relationship between the coach or management or whoever is making the decisions and the starting quarterback like that getting to this point. I just can’t imagine it. I wouldn’t allow it. It wouldn’t happen. But now, it has happened.”
I think if we take an honest and critical look at what the Chicago Cubs need to do in order to create a much more competitive team in 2022 and beyond, we know that it’s going to take (1) a whole lot more successful player development on the prospecting side, and (2) a whole lot more wise and aggressive spending in free agency. While those two elements of success weren’t
entirely lacking in the post-World Series era for the Cubs, I think we can all agree that they are areas where the Cubs clearly fell behind. Some of that was because they’d traded away so much from the farm system; some of that was because they’d already locked down so many big contracts in earlier years while the core then hit up arbitration. But also, some of it was just some flat out failings in drafting and player development, and in making the best aggressive moves in free agency.
