2PM!: Early Show - Where's the Internet??? Matt LaFleur's Job Security vs Bears + Is Hafley an Overrated HC Candidate?

Jim Rutledge & Molly Brown RAWDOG it from 2-4 pm, as they fill the void of KBN since there's no internet in the ESPN Madison offices! Molly gets a CLOSE UP and Jim's face gets red with no ESPN Madison YouTube stream... They give their Daily Check In with how they feel ahead of Saturday's Packers-Bears playoff game -- where's Molly at on her Rollercoaster of Emotions, and why is Jim gaining confidence with every passing day? They expand the conversation about this game back to Matt LaFleur's job security as he's still heading into a lame duck season with no current extension beyond next year. They discuss whether this game should impact Ed Policy's decision about extending LaFleur -- should he be FIRED if the Packers lose --, and whose stock is higher right now: LaFleur or Ben Johnson? They dive deeper into the possible decision for Policy -- bring LaFleur back, let him go, or try to push it off with a one-year extension (aka the worst-case scenario)! Next, they get into Packers fans' growing love from DC Jeff Hafley and those who think he should be the team's next head coach -- what makes Hafley such a strong candidate, are his impressive press conferences overrated, and who would Molly take as a HC for the Packers over Hafley? Jim also runs through the criteria for why he'd ALWAYS take an innovative offensive head coach over a defensive coordinator like Hafley!
