Jason Wilde

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly to talk more about the Packers offseason and people placing Sam Darnold above Jordan Love after the Seahawks won the Super Bowl! First, Jason asks how he's supposed to feel about watching Olympic curling without Matt Hamilton on the ice this winter...? Then, they get into the advantage for QBs on a rookie-scale deal and what it means for the Packers -- can Jordan Love overcome the historic trend and get Green Bay back to the Super Bowl, or did the Packers already squander their best opportunity to win with Love? Also, how does having two QB-level contracts impact things with both Love and Micah Parsons on the roster? Also, how much pressure is on Gutey to HIT on his moves going forward after his many MISSES last offseason?

Packers reporter Jason Wilde joined The Homer Hour to discuss what it says about the Packers organization that both general managers in the Super Bowl were developed in Green Bay. The conversation then turned to how critical this offseason is for Brian Gutekunst, especially with several players from the 2022 draft class potentially leaving and what that class says about roster construction. The show wrapped up by debating the big-picture question facing the franchise: are the Packers’ current issues more of a Matt LaFleur problem or a Brian Gutekunst problem?

ESPN Wisconsin reporter Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy for a blunt, detailed breakdown of what he believes is the Green Bay Packers’ most urgent and self-inflicted problem: the offensive line. 021026 Jason on JGC Wilde explains why, despite optimism from the front office, the Packers enter the offseason with more questions than answers up front — and why those questions directly threaten Jordan Love’s development and the team’s Super Bowl aspirations. 🏈 “They blew up a top-10 offensive line” Wilde lays out the core issue clearly: The Packers entered last season with a top-10 offensive line, then chose to dismantle it. In his view, that decision: Was unnecessary Was avoidable And has now created multiple holes instead of one Letting Josh Myers walk for a modest contract, overspending for Aaron Banks, and moving Elgton Jenkins out of position all compounded the problem — and now Green Bay is staring at an offseason with no clear center, shaky guard play, and depth concerns everywhere. 🧠 Youth obsession vs reality Wilde takes direct issue with Brian Gutekunst’s dismissal of age concerns, especially the idea that turning 30 is some sort of hard cutoff. He points out: Offensive linemen age better than almost any position Productive veterans are still valuable Development only matters if you actually retain the players you develop To Wilde, the contradiction is glaring: If your philosophy is development, why are you letting developed players walk? 🔄 Trust erosion and ripple effects Wilde explains why offensive line instability affects everything: Play-calling becomes conservative Quarterbacks rush decisions Game plans shrink under pressure He references the playoff loss to the Bears, where Jordan Love went from protected to overwhelmed — a swing Wilde believes directly contributed to the collapse. 🧱 No plan, no margin for error As Wilde walks through a hypothetical starting lineup, the concern only grows: Jordan Morgan at left tackle Aaron Banks at guard Jacob Monk at center Anthony Belton at guard Zach Tom returning from patellar tendon surgery In Wilde’s words, that’s not a championship offensive line — it’s a hope-and-pray lineup with no margin for injuries or regression. ⚖️ The bottom line Jason Wilde’s conclusion is blunt: The Packers created this problem themselves They dismissed affordable veteran solutions And now must solve multiple issues with limited resources Unless Green Bay adjusts its philosophy and re-embraces experience, Wilde believes the same offensive failures will repeat — regardless of how talented Jordan Love becomes. 🎧 A candid, critical, and deeply informed breakdown of the Packers’ offensive line philosophy — and why it may be the single biggest obstacle between Green Bay and another Super Bowl — with Jason Wilde on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

The Packers season is over — and the questions are just beginning. On the penultimate episode of Season 2 of Weekly Wilde, Jason Wilde and Alex Strouf react to Brian Gutekunst’s first press conference since the end of the season and what it did (and didn’t) reveal about Green Bay’s direction. They discuss the GM’s messaging, frustration over vague answers, the continued loyalty within the coaching staff, and why some fans are struggling to see real accountability after another disappointing finish. Plus, with Super Bowl week here, Jason shares stories about Ron Wolf and why his fingerprints are all over this matchup — from Green Bay to New England and beyond. They also dig into the Packers’ biggest roster questions heading into the offseason, including the defensive line, offensive line, cornerback, and what comes next with key veterans. This is a big offseason for Green Bay — and this conversation sets the stage for what matters most.

ESPN Wisconsin reporter Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy with a clear-eyed breakdown of the Green Bay Packers’ looming salary-cap decisions, focusing on Malik Willis’ rising free-agent value, Rashan Gary’s uncertain future, and why the front office must act quickly — even if they won’t say it publicly. 020626 Jason on JGC Wilde begins by addressing the quarterback coach search, explaining that while outside names like Matt Schaub have been floated, the Packers already have internal options — including simply expanding Luke Getsy’s role, given his history working with both Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers. 🏈 Malik Willis: from afterthought to real market One of the most revealing parts of the segment centers on Malik Willis, whose performance in Green Bay has dramatically altered his career trajectory. Wilde explains: Teams around the league are desperate for quarterbacks Many will excuse Willis’ struggles in Tennessee due to organizational instability His Packers tape will carry significant weight in evaluations He’s likely to be signed to compete for a starting job, not just as a backup Wilde compares the situation to Matt Flynn’s free agency, where opportunity — not guarantees — drove the market. The takeaway: Willis will have real leverage, and keeping him won’t be cheap. 🧠 Rashan Gary: no ‘Option C’ The conversation then turns blunt when discussing Rashan Gary. Wilde lays out what he believes are the only realistic paths: Restructure with a significant pay cut, allowing Gary to earn money back via incentives Move on entirely and reclaim cap space What doesn’t exist, in Wilde’s view, is a third option: Leaving the contract as-is would be personnel malpractice. After a season where Gary went 10 straight games without a sack, Wilde argues the Packers cannot justify paying him like an elite pass rusher without elite production. 💰 Josh Jacobs and the Aaron Jones warning sign Wilde draws a direct parallel between current praise for Josh Jacobs and past praise for Aaron Jones. He reminds listeners: Gutekunst once said they’d do “whatever it takes” to keep Jones The eventual offer told a very different story Jones went on to produce immediately elsewhere That history makes Wilde cautious about reading too much into glowing words. If the Packers truly want to keep Jacobs, they’ll need to: Convert salary to bonus Add void years Lower his $10.4 million cap hit Otherwise, the praise won’t matter. 🧮 Cap space doesn’t appear magically A core truth Wilde stresses repeatedly: The Packers cannot meaningfully participate in free agency without first creating cap space. That likely means: Restructuring contracts Moving on from veterans like Elgton Jenkins or Rashan Gary Accepting short-term dead money Public optimism, Wilde says, is strategic — not revealing. Internally, decisions are already mapped out. 🌍 International games are coming Before wrapping up, Wilde also weighs in on the NFL’s international expansion, saying he would be shocked if the Packers don’t play overseas this season — most likely in Munich, given Green Bay’s strong brand presence in Germany and previous league designations. He references former team president Mark Murphy’s comments, noting once again that Murphy often floated league plans publicly long before they became official. ⚖️ The bottom line Jason Wilde leaves listeners with a firm conclusion: Malik Willis will have options Rashan Gary’s situation must be resolved quickly Josh Jacobs’ future depends on actual cap moves, not quotes And the Packers’ “we can do whatever we want” rhetoric only works if they follow through The next few weeks will reveal whether Green Bay is serious about competing — or simply managing the cap with optimism. 🎧 A grounded, insider look at Packers roster decisions, quarterback markets, and why the hard part of the offseason is already here — with Jason Wilde on Jen, Gabe & Chewy. Green Bay Packers, Jason Wilde, Malik Willis free ...

Packers reporter Jason Wilde joined The Homer Hour to discuss whether the Packers need to add more veterans to help close out games next season. He also shared who could emerge as a “closer” if the roster remains young and which current Packers could be comparable to players from the 2010 Super Bowl team.

ESPN Wisconsin reporter Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy with one of his most pointed critiques yet of the Green Bay Packers’ offseason messaging — arguing that too many things Brian Gutekunst said simply cannot all be true at the same time. 020526 Jason on JGC The conversation begins with Wilde reacting to Gutekunst’s end-of-season press conference, which struck him as oddly upbeat given how dramatically the Packers underperformed relative to expectations. Wilde explains why the tone bothered him, not because it was dishonest — but because it was inconsistent. 🏈 “If everything’s great… then just say what went wrong” Wilde lays out his core frustration: If the Packers truly believe they were a “pretty damn good football team” derailed primarily by injuries, why won’t leadership just say that out loud? Instead, Gutekunst praised nearly everyone — players, coaches, culture — while simultaneously acknowledging the team needs to “learn how to close games.” To Wilde, that creates a logical gap: Either the roster was good enough Or it wasn’t But you can’t pretend everything is fine while also acknowledging major shortcomings As Wilde puts it, both things can’t be true. 🧠 Ron Wolf vs modern messaging Wilde contrasts Gutekunst’s approach with that of Ron Wolf, describing Wolf as a straight shooter who never worried about cushioning answers or protecting feelings. Wolf told the truth — even when it was uncomfortable — and Wilde admits that honesty could be intimidating, but it also created clarity. Today’s approach, by contrast, feels overly careful and, at times, evasive. Wilde wonders aloud whether: Player sensitivity Modern media cycles Or internal politics …have made executives hesitant to speak plainly — even when plain truth might actually help. 🔄 The Aaron Jones example — history repeating One of the most telling comparisons Wilde raises is Aaron Jones. He reminds listeners: Gutekunst once said they’d do “whatever it takes” to keep Jones Then offered a deal so low it effectively forced him out Jones went on to rush for 1,000 yards with Minnesota That history makes Wilde skeptical when Gutekunst now gushes about Josh Jacobs as an irreplaceable locker-room presence. Wilde asks the obvious question: If he’s that important, what are you actually going to do to keep him? Words without follow-through have consequences — especially with veterans. 🏈 Rashan Gary and accountability The most heated portion of the segment centers on Rashan Gary, who finished the season with 10 straight games without a sack. Wilde doesn’t dismiss pressures or effort — but he refuses to sugarcoat the result: You cannot be paid like an elite pass rusher and go 10 games without a sack. To him, calling that a “great year” isn’t optimism — it’s a refusal to apply accountability. 🧓 The veteran problem Wilde circles back repeatedly to what he sees as the Packers’ biggest blind spot: the near-total absence of veteran leadership. He references conversations with Evan Williams, who candidly admitted the team: Doesn’t handle success well Struggles with adversity Lacks maturity in key moments Wilde argues that a handful of veterans — not stars, just experienced pros — could act as on-field coaches, stabilizing young players the way veterans once did for him and others. He cites examples like: Eugene Robinson Keith Jackson Eddie West Players who taught by example and filled gaps no coaching staff could reach alone. ⚖️ The bottom line Jason Wilde’s conclusion is blunt but measured: The Packers have talent They have youth They have culture But they may be overvaluing harmony and undervaluing honesty. Without clearer messaging, stronger accountability, and a willingness to invest in veteran leadership, the same problems — late-game collapses, emotional swings, and inconsistency — are likely to repeat. 🎧 A thoughtful, critical, and deeply informed breakdown of Packers philosophy, messaging, and why “everything’ ...

Packers reporter Jason Wilde joined The Homer Hour to break down GM Brian Gutekunst’s press conference, including why Gutekunst refused to blame injuries for how the season unfolded and what surprised Wilde the most from his comments. The discussion also covered whether Gutekunst believes the Packers can retain all of their free agents and if he truly feels special teams have improved under Rich Bisaccia. The conversation wrapped up with a look at Matt LaFleur’s standing compared to the coaches hired during this offseason’s carousel and whether the Packers still need to learn how to finish games.

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly to talk about the Green Bay Packers' continuing search for assistant coaches and GM Brian Gutekunst's first presser conference of the offseason tomorrow! First, Jason explains why being a good soccer/gymnastics/volleyball dad delayed his appearance today... They discuss the Chicago Bears interviewing one of the Packers' candidates for their next QBs coach, and Jason gives the top 3 questions that he's looking to get answered by Gutey tomorrow afternoon! Matt also asks Jason about the lack of confidence in a certain NFL owner who may also own a NBA team (both in the Midwest), and Jason explains why he actually gives Bucks GM Jon Horst a lot of credit for what he's done with Giannis.

Packers reporter Jason Wilde joined The Homer Hour to share his experiences covering the Super Bowl, including whether he’s attended one that didn’t involve the Packers and what Super Bowl week is like when Green Bay is in it. The conversation then shifted to the future, focusing on what the Packers are doing now to become Super Bowl contenders in 2026 and whether the current roster shakeup points toward contention as soon as next season. Wilde also weighed in on whether he’d be surprised if the Packers re-sign Romeo Doubs and wrapped things up by sharing the one question he’s most eager to ask GM Brian Gutekunst at Wednesday’s press conference.

ESPN Wisconsin reporter Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy for one of his most direct and critical assessments yet of the Green Bay Packers’ roster-building philosophy — questioning whether Brian Gutekunst’s aversion to veteran players has become a competitive blind spot. 020326 Jason on JGC Rather than focusing on one loss or one season, Wilde zooms out to examine patterns — and why the Packers continue to struggle with immaturity, in-game adversity, and championship-level consistency. 🏈 “We’re immature” — and the evidence is there Wilde recounts a revealing locker-room conversation with Evan Williams, who openly admitted the Packers: Don’t handle success well Struggle when teams punch back Lose emotional control during momentum swings Wilde explains why those comments matter: Good teams don’t ride waves. Veteran teams don’t panic. Championship teams stay steady. The Packers, in his view, still don’t. 🧠 Gutekunst’s biggest blind spot Wilde doesn’t accuse Gutekunst of incompetence — but he does call out what he sees as a clear philosophical gap. According to Wilde: The Packers intentionally avoid second contracts Gutekunst has publicly said the goal is to re-sign 1.6 players per draft class Veteran leadership is treated as expendable rather than essential Wilde contrasts that with Ron Wolf’s approach, where experienced free agents like Eugene Robinson and Sean Jones were used to stabilize young rosters and push teams over the top. As Wilde bluntly puts it, today’s model feels closer to: “Use them up and throw them away.” 🔄 Why veterans still matter The discussion highlights specific examples: Preston Smith, who rarely missed games and brought consistency Rashan Gary and Elgton Jenkins, both likely on their way out Marcedes Lewis, whose presence extended far beyond on-field production Wilde argues that even aging players who aren’t stars anymore can provide: Emotional ballast Championship perspective Accountability in tough moments Young players alone, no matter how talented, don’t provide that. 💰 Free agency misses deserve scrutiny Wilde also addresses criticism sparked by a headline calling $132 million in free-agent spending “up in flames.” He clarifies: The Packers haven’t actually paid most of that money yet Contracts like Aaron Banks’ are structured with outs But yes — Gutekunst deserves criticism for misses Wilde explains why the Packers use free agency more now: You use free agency because you missed in the draft. Josh Jacobs, Xavier McKinney, and Micah Parsons were all signed because prior draft investments didn’t pan out as hoped. ⚖️ Why Gutekunst avoids the heat One of Wilde’s sharpest observations: Brian Gutekunst doesn’t face nearly the same public scrutiny as Matt LaFleur — despite roster construction being at the heart of many issues. Wilde doesn’t call for Gutekunst’s job — but he does argue that evaluation must be evenly applied if the Packers truly want to compete for championships. 🏁 The bottom line Jason Wilde leaves listeners with a pointed challenge: The Packers don’t need to abandon youth. They don’t need to sign every aging star. But they do need: A handful of experienced voices Players who’ve survived playoff heartbreak Veterans who don’t flinch when things go sideways Until that changes, the same problems will keep resurfacing — no matter how talented the roster looks on paper. 🎧 A candid, uncomfortable, and deeply insightful breakdown of Packers philosophy, maturity, and why championships require more than draft picks — with Jason Wilde on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly to gander at Jim's shaved head that Matt "took down to the wood" with our old, rickety pair of clippers! They ask Jason about Packers QB coach Sean Mannion getting hired away to become the Eagles' next offensive coordinator -- how big is the loss. The Packers also officially announced extensions for Matt LaFleur, Gutey and Russ Ball were all officially extended today, but were LaFleur run it back with the rest of this offensive coaching staff? Also, what's more important -- who's on the coaching staff or which pending free agents & cut candidates are back and/or healthy next year? They finish talking about the precarious work-life balance for NFL coaches after the recent criticism of new Buffalo Bills HC Joe Brady!

ESPN Wisconsin reporter Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy for a candid, uncomfortable conversation about the Giannis Antetokounmpo situation, the emotional exhaustion surrounding the Milwaukee Bucks, and why this saga increasingly resembles the final years of Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. 023026 JGC Hour 1 Wilde doesn’t frame this as a breaking-news moment — he frames it as a slow-burn reality that has worn down everyone involved: the organization, the locker room, the fan base, and possibly Giannis himself. 🏀 Why “tough on the organization” says everything The segment begins with Wilde reacting to Peter Feigin’s comments describing the Giannis speculation as “tough on the organization.” To Wilde, that phrasing doesn’t sound defensive — it sounds tired. He explains why: The Bucks are fighting talent limitations and emotional uncertainty Players are wondering nightly whether Giannis will still be there Management is staring at multiple paths, all of which feel sub-optimal Wilde compares it to a choose-your-own-adventure book where every ending is bad — no clean exits, no perfect solutions. 🧠 Giannis’ fear of being the villain One of Wilde’s most insightful points centers on Giannis’ psychology. Wilde believes Giannis genuinely: Feels loyalty to Milwaukee Appreciates the opportunity the Bucks gave him Does not want to be remembered as “the guy who asked out” But that fear may now be clouding his decision-making, creating a stalemate where: He won’t ask for a trade The Bucks won’t force one And everyone waits for something to break Wilde draws a clear parallel to Aaron Rodgers — not in personality, but in how prolonged ambiguity damages everyone involved. 🎭 Agents don’t operate independently Wilde directly addresses Giannis’ claim that his agent acts independently. From an industry perspective, Wilde explains: Agents explore markets with player understanding “I didn’t ask out” can be technically true and still misleading Market testing doesn’t happen without player awareness This is how leverage is created without public ultimatums — and it’s why the reporting keeps escalating even when Giannis’ words don’t. 🏟️ The locker room impact Wilde notes that constant speculation does affect teammates, even if no one says it publicly: Players start questioning direction Leadership messaging gets diluted Adversity feels heavier when the future is unclear He points out a subtle shift in tone from players like Bobby Portis, whose early-season confidence has given way to resignation. ⚖️ The reality no one wants to say Wilde is blunt about the endgame: The Bucks will never get “fair value” for Giannis Waiting doesn’t magically fix that Acting too soon risks panic Acting too late risks collapse That’s why Feigin’s word — tough — matters so much. It’s not drama. It’s math. 🏁 The bottom line Jason Wilde leaves listeners with a sobering conclusion: Giannis hasn’t asked out. The Bucks haven’t pulled the trigger. But the situation is no longer stable. Whether through a trade, a reset, or a reluctant recommitment, this chapter is moving toward an ending — and pretending otherwise only prolongs the damage. 🎧 A clear-eyed, emotionally honest breakdown of loyalty, leverage, and why silence can be just as loud as a trade request — with Jason Wilde on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Another busy week in Green Bay. Jason Wilde and Alex Strouf break down the Packers’ latest coaching moves, including Jonathan Gannon stepping in to lead the defense and what his background as a former head coach could mean. They discuss why so much of the defensive staff is turning over, why the offensive staff has stayed largely intact, and whether Matt LaFleur needs fresh ideas moving forward. Plus, Mike McCarthy takes the Steelers job — and Jason explains his relationship with McCarthy, how the hire came together, and why a reunion with Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds.

Packers reporter Jason Wilde joined The Homer Hour to discuss the hiring of Bobby Babich as the Packers’ secondary coach and passing game coordinator, along with the departure of Sean Mannion to the Eagles as offensive coordinator. The conversation also focused on who could replace Mannion as quarterbacks coach, the status of offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich, and whether an offensive line coach may be more important than the offensive coordinator when the head coach is calling plays.

ESPN Wisconsin reporter Jason Wilde joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy for a wide-ranging, brutally honest conversation that touches on Giannis Antetokounmpo trade fatigue, Packers roster philosophy, and why Josh Jacobs’ importance goes far beyond the stat sheet. 012926 Jason on JGC The segment opens with Wilde reacting to the latest wave of Giannis trade reporting, where multiple sides appear to be leaking selective information to preferred media partners. Wilde admits he’s hit his own boiling point with the constant contradiction: Giannis publicly saying he’ll never ask for a trade, while reports continue to suggest the Bucks are listening to offers. 🏀 Giannis fatigue: just tell the truth Wilde frames the situation like a breakup that refuses to happen. He explains why the constant “I’m not asking out” messaging, paired with behind-the-scenes maneuvering by agents, has worn fans down. His blunt take: If you want out, just say it. Don’t keep doing things to see if the other side breaks first. Wilde stresses this doesn’t come from disrespect — it comes from emotional exhaustion. Fans appreciate honesty more than prolonged ambiguity, especially when the outcome feels increasingly inevitable. 🧠 Agents don’t act independently One of the most revealing moments comes when Wilde addresses Giannis’ claim that his agent acts independently. From an industry standpoint, Wilde explains, agents only move with the approval — or at least the understanding — of their clients. Pretending otherwise may protect public image, but it doesn’t reflect how the business actually works. The parallel to Aaron Rodgers’ exit from Green Bay is impossible to ignore: no formal trade request, but enough smoke to signal the fire. 🏈 Packers pivot: the Josh Jacobs question The conversation shifts to the Packers, where Wilde reacts strongly to the idea that Josh Jacobs could be a cap casualty. Wilde is emphatic: That would be a terrible idea. He explains why Jacobs represents something the Packers desperately lack — maturity, leadership, and accountability in a locker room filled with young players who struggle with both success and adversity. Key points Wilde makes: Jacobs played hurt for much of the season Fans often criticize players for not playing through injuries — then criticize them when performance dips The Packers can’t afford to lose one of their few stabilizing voices Wilde contrasts Jacobs’ situation with Aaron Jones, noting how Jones was labeled “washed” before immediately producing elsewhere. The lesson: don’t be too eager to move on from real pros. 🧱 Rashid Walker & the Packers’ new identity Wilde also weighs in on the likelihood of Rashid Walker leaving in free agency, even after ranking highly in pass-block win rate. He explains this isn’t accidental — it’s organizational philosophy. General manager Brian Gutekunst has openly stated he doesn’t prioritize second contracts. Instead, the Packers: Turn over the roster aggressively Lean on rookie contracts Accumulate future compensatory picks Wilde acknowledges this is the opposite of the old Packers model — and admits that while he personally disagrees, this is who the Packers are now. ⚖️ The bottom line Jason Wilde leaves listeners with a clear-eyed assessment: Giannis trade talk isn’t going away The Packers are choosing churn over continuity Veterans like Josh Jacobs matter more than fans realize And modern roster building often sacrifices leadership for flexibility Whether in Milwaukee basketball or Green Bay football, the theme is the same: Organizations are choosing leverage over loyalty — and fans are left to deal with the fallout. 🎧 Insightful, candid, and grounded in real reporting — a must-listen segment with Jason Wilde on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

Packers reporter Jason Wilde joined The Homer Hour to break down the hire of Bobby Babich to the Packers’ defensive coaching staff and discussed whether assistant coaches are chosen by the defensive coordinator or the head coach. The conversation also focused on why GM Brian Gutekunst hasn’t held a press conference since August and whether the team is waiting to announce assistant hires and contract extensions all at once. The guys also addressed speculation around Sean Mannion’s future and whether the Packers quarterbacks coach could be on his way out of Green Bay.

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly to talk more about the fallout from the Packers hiring Jonathan Gannon as defensive coordinator, including the conflicting reports about whether he was such a hot commodity that they couldn't wait long enough to interview Jim Leonhard. He also discusses if the coaching staff is gonna stay as is after OC Adam Stenavich didn't get the Titans job and there's still no news about Rich Bisaccia -- does LaFleur need new ideas outside of OC and is he willing to FIRE one of his friends? They also ask Jason about who will have input on Gannon's defensive staff, just how secure is LaFleur's job after his extension, and is there a sliding doors reality where Pats GM Eliot Wolf would've gotten the job instead of Gutey in 2018!

Packers reporter Jason Wilde joined The Homer Hour to discuss Bill Belichick falling short of the votes needed for the Pro Football Hall of Fame and whether football writers should be allowed to vote on the Hall in the sports they cover. The guys also debated Keisean Nixon’s Pro Bowl case and why the Packers still haven’t officially announced the hiring of Jonathan Gannon. The conversation wrapped up with a look at the coaching staff, including who Jeff Hafley could bring with him to Miami and whether the Packers would look outside the organization for an offensive coordinator if Adam Stenavich were to leave.

Jason Wilde joins Jim, Matt & Molly to talk about the Packers' ongoing DC search, including Jonathan Gannon, Raheem Morris, Al Harris, and the timeline for when Matt LaFleur can interview Jim Leonhard! First, Jason learns that producer Primetime was 26 years old when he learned where pickles come from! Jason shares some insights into Gannon's scheme-less coaching style, whether Jim Leonhard is REALLY the favorite in LaFleur's eyes, and when should we start getting nervous if the Packers still haven't hired a candidate! He shares more on Morris' relationship with LaFleur, Harris' resume as a legitimate candidate for the job, and are there really no changes coming for OC Adam Stenavich and ST coordinator Rich Bisaccia!
