312 In the end

ESPN reported: "Big News: Mike McCarthy was eliminated, Noah was on the land, and the Green Bay Packers coaching team is about to change."

As the first media for professional sports reports in North America, ESPN received an internal news early and immediately revealed the internal turmoil of Green Bay Packers.

After the news was released, all the focus was gathered. The key news of the draft and the free market had entered the final stage. The entire league was paying attention to the farce of Farf's retirement and repentance, but he did not expect the farce to escalate further, causing an earthquake within the team.

McCarthy was eliminated with Favre, which once again demonstrated the determination and belief of Green Bay Packers' management team to unswervingly support Rogers.

Invisibly, the expectations for Rogers in the new season will inevitably continue to heat up - Rogers originally needed to face the shadow of Favre at all times, and now it is even more so, but I don’t know whether Rogers can prove himself; however, Lu Yiqi has snatched all the focus of attention.

"Noah Lu, who is it?"

A brief search was made. As a conjunction, the relevant news immediately appeared in front of you. Only then could people connect Lu Yiqi with the news of "magic victory season" and realize that Lu Yiqi's attitude of riding on a rocket was not accidental.

But after further detailed search, the question marks became more and more.

He served as quarterback coach for two years.

Worked as offensive coordinator for one year.

As interim head coach for one year.

The entire coaching career has only been four years. Even with the three-year internship with the Philadelphia Eagles, it will only be only seven years.

At the same time, Lu Yiqi has not trained the Heisman Award winner for the time being, and his only honor is Kansas State University's all-winning victory and top-up championship.

Plus the age of twenty-nine and Chinese identity.

The question marks on the entire screen are about to overflow: How did Lu Yiqi get this job? Even the NCAA All-American champion is not like this. Could it be that Lu Yiqi is the illegitimate son of Thompson or Murphy? Or, Lu Yiqi has a mine at home and uses money to explore the way?

Or is it fake news?

After all, ESPN made news reports, but other major media have not made any noise for the time being, which proves that it is just a "rumor". Green Bay Packers did not give an official statement and were temporarily stuck in the stage of media catching rumors. Then, it may not be impossible for ESPN to get a wrong line.

Immediately afterwards, Fox TV gave the latest news, "Noah Lu: Green Bay Packers' new offensive coordinator."

Although this is also a bit unexpected, it is much more reasonable, especially compared to ESPN's revelations. It may have been a bit unexpected, but now I feel it is "acceptable".

Of course, the position of the offensive coordinator is equally important, but in the final analysis, it is still not the head coach, and the attention and discussion are not on the same level.

One after another, more and more rumors emerged. Favre and McCarthy publicly accused the team of poor management. The conflicts within the Green Bay Packers coaching team gradually became public, and the melon-eating crowd rushed up, like greedy vultures hovering over the corpse.

After three days of rushing news, the Green Bay Packers finally released an official announcement to confirm ESPN's report:

"Noah Lu is about to take office as head coach of Green Bay Packers.

As a team with a long history, Green Bay Packers have always maintained an open and innovative attitude, are willing to accept all challenges, and are willing to open their hearts to embrace the future.

We are very grateful to Mike McCarthy for his contributions in the past two seasons, but due to differences in tactical concepts, we regret to end the partnership and wish McCarthy a better future; and now, we welcome Lu’s franchise with a cautious and solemn attitude.”

The above content is only part of the excerpt from the official announcement. The Green Bay Packers welcomed Lu Yiqi with a passionate attitude.

boom!

The entire league burst into pieces inside and outside. It was unimaginable that the Green Bay Packers actually chose a young boy as the head coach, which made them fall into countless glasses.

Judging from the mainstream rhetoric of the entire network, this cooperation is generally not optimistic:

"Let's just make a bad appearance in the new season, and the number one pick is a strong contender."

"Give up Favre first and then McCarthy, the Packers' offseason operation is incomprehensible."

"Is it because Fafer's return blow was so strong that the management was collectively stupid?"

"If he can be the head coach, then I can do it too."

"Who is this guy?"

There are also many opinions from professionals who did not directly spray, but the theoretical analysis from a professional perspective also came up with similar results:

The NCAA's excellent performance may not necessarily be able to adapt to the NFL environment. Not only are players, but many NCAA coaches are also unacceptable after entering the NFL. The beginning of Lu Yiqi's coaching tree, Nick Shaban, is one of the most direct cases, and there are countless similar cases.

Perhaps, Lu Yiqi can lead Kansas State University to create a miracle season, but it is a lot of danger to be surrounded by wolves in the professional arena.

Whether it is subjective emotions or objective opinions, Lu Yiqi and Green Bay Packers are both trapped in a whirlpool of controversy.

Despite this, Lu Yiqi still has supporters.

"I think he can do this job," Andy Reed said in an interview with ESPN. "Actually, I have always been looking forward to Noah being able to return to Philadelphia to work with me again. His abilities and talents are unquestionable. Even in the NFL, he can show competitiveness."

Pat Shulmoore also expressed the same view, "Noah's excellence is far from as simple as it seems. If you look down on his ability because of his youth, you will definitely pay the price in the results of the game. I think he is ready to compete in the professional arena."

Ted Thompson also formally responded in the interview, "It's a job, a business, not a role-playing game. We were not kidding. Obviously, we have many choices, but Noah is the most suitable one. I can't wait to welcome the new season."

In fact, this is not the first time that Green Bay Packers have caused controversy.

Two years ago, the Green Bay Packers chose the unknown Mike McCarthy as the head coach, and the league was also shocked.

Although McCarthy has been in the league for many years, his talent and ability have never attracted much attention. It can even be said that he is unknown. Taking over the job of the Packers head coach is generally considered a shocking uproar - and then he suffered a crushing defeat in the first season, which has caused heated discussions in the league.

Now, the Green Bay Packers chose Lu Yiqi, who popped out of the crack of the stone, to replace McCarthy. Although the decision was a little hasty, it was not so outrageous.

No matter how surging the controversy is, the matter has been officially settled:
