Why haven't we at least interviewed Mike Sherman?

Sherman guided the Green Bay Packers to five winning seasons in six years.
From 2002-2004, Sherman led GB to three consecutive NFC North division titles.
His .663 winning percentage (53-27) over his first five years was second only to the great Vince Lombardi in Packers history.

His Offense's were the most productive in Packers history.
During his tenure the Packers broke the rushing mark and passing mark in back to back years.

In his six year head coaching career with the Packers, Sherman compiled a 57-39 regular season record and a 2-4 postseason record losing to Philly and the St. Louis Rams (greatest show on turf) in the NFC Championship game(s).

9-7 in 2000
12-4 in 2001
12-4 in 2002
10-6 in 2003
10-6 in 2004
4-12 in 2005

They gave the guy the boot after one losing season. And 5 of those losses were 3 points or less. With just a little luck, GB could have finished 9-7 that year.

Also, he is 52 years old, so Capers shouldn't have a problem taking orders from him. And Sherman is an offensive-minded coach.

You gotta like Sherman over Gailey, Mora, Shula, and maybe even Cameron.

What am I missing here?

I don't see how Philly converting on 4th and 22 (or 26) has anything to do with Mike Sherman's decision-making process. If anything, it was a good decision by Andy Reid.

As far as decisions go, Sherman was also the GM while head coach for GB. Here's who he drafted in the early rounds...

TE Bubba Franks
DE Jamal Reynolds
WR Robert Ferguson
WR Javon Walker
LB Nick Barnett
CB Ahmad Carroll
QB Aaron Rodgers

Reynolds and Carroll didn't pan out. But Franks, Walker, and Ferguson were great picks. Also, Barnett is their starting middle linebacker. We won't really know about Rodgers until he takes over for Favre.

I'm really high on Sherman. He could be the best option out there. Don't know why he doesn't merit at least an interview.
 
I had no idea Shermans winning percentage was that good. When his name was first mentioned as a possible candidate i had no interest whatsoever. However, as my favorite candidates keep getting cut, Sherman is looking a lot better. I'd still prefer an up and comer, but thats not happening.

Exactly. Now that we've got Capers locked in, Sherman could be the perfect compliment on the offensive side of the ball.

If we're not going to hire a newcomer, Sherman is the guy who most deserves a second chance. I mean, one losing season in six years?! Even Don Shula had a couple of losing seasons.
 
im not a huge fan especially when he verbally attacked warren sapp that 1 game after he drilled that ol from the pack....with that said i say no thanks to him plus he will ask for way 2 much money and complete control of the team.

I disagree with that... it's probably not smart to charge after a thug like Sapp after a game, but he was defending one of this players after receiving a cheap shot. I respected him for it, even though it probably wasn't a wise move on his part. Should have addressed it with the league.

He did pretty good with Favre? Man, no offense, but, I have a feeling, that before Sherman came along, that Brett was pretty well on his way to a Hall of Fame Career in the making. Last I checked, Favre wasn't a mediocre QB and then BAM, here came Mike Sherman and turned him into the next great QB.
