Check out this ***SPECULATION*** (read that again, before SOMEONE accuses me or SKOR North of reporting this as fact..... so again, SPECULATION).... to continue now.....
The Packers hired former Boston College HC to be their new Defensive Coordinator. Apparently, the guy is close with LaFleur and O'Connell.... knows O'Connell well.... which, obviously, could make it a little tougher for us vs. GB's defense next season....
Now.... Boston College, as a result, has a HC vacancy..... and guess who was a star LB when they played at Boston College way back when? Brian Flores.......
Will they approach Flores? Would Flores be interested in being HC at his Alma mater? Who knows.....
But if they did (probably low probability, but you never know)..... that GB hire could be potentially really damaging to us..... not just their defensive coordinator being close/knowing very well Kevin O'Connell (and therefore KOC's offense), but potentially via domino effect us losing Flores to Boston College.....
Man, that would suck.......

Whenever people freak out about “Oh man these two coached together and so Coach B will really have the inside scoop on Coach A”, I ask the question: Why doesn’t it work the other way around? KOC also knows this Boston College guy and his traits, background, philosophy, etc. I don’t think the “inside knowledge” thing is nearly what some people make it out to be, but even if it was then you have to apply it both ways.
Plus if GB really was dumb enough to base a DC hire off working with an NFCN rival, I would think they would poach somebody with familiarity of Ben Johnson’s system. Right now, until proven otherwise, that is the biggest threat to GB, not the Vikings…
Slappy- true... I don't believe, especially in light of the new NCAA changes, Flores would want that job.... but you never know how much his heart may be loyal to his alma mater....
