Sherman... Fired


Mike Sherman was fired today. In his 6 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, Sherman had a 59-43 record in the regular season, and 2-4 in the playoffs. The Packers won the NFC North for the first 3 years of its existence, but Sherman's leadership was not enough to overcome 19 players being placed onto the injured reserve throughout the season, as the team slumped to the cellar of the division and 4-12 record.

First, Mike Sherman will be remembered for his 3 critical 4th down decisions in the 2003 NFC Divisional Playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles. All 4th downs went against Sherman and his Packers, including the devastating 4th and 26 conversion, as the Packers lost 20-17 in OT. That was the last time the Packers had a legitimate chance at moving-on to the Super Bowl.

Second, Mike Sherman will be remembered for his "ehem" non-flattering wardrobe selections for gameday sidelines. Lets be serious here, folks, some of the items Sherman brought out of the closet were just plain hideous.
