Steelers fans, and I know a couple, generally seem to be change averse, so they cannot be very happy with all goings on in Pittsburgh the past few days. First Bill Cowher retires, then Ken Wisenhunt leaves for Arizona, in comes Mike Tomlin from the Vikings (maybe a bigger whodat head coaching hire than Mike [...]
There’s a lot of familiar names circulating in the news today as the coaching carousel goes round and round. Unfortunately, Kurt Schottenheimer is not among those being bandied about for open positions; I’m secretly hoping he’ll get offered a chance to coach in the NFL Europe, far, far from Green Bay’s secondary.
First was the news [...]
As if I needed another reason to dislike Boston. Actually, that’s not very fair; Beantown is a perfectly nice city if you like impossible to navigate streets, obnoxious Red Sox fans, and mullets. (They do have Legal Sea Food and that is some damn good eating.) But there is another reason to hate Boston, Boston [...]
Aside from the head coaching experience and a few other things, here’s the big difference between myself and Mike Sherman: I would have taken the $6 million or so from the Packers and gone on as trip around the world, or bought a sailboat and toured the South Pacific, or just sat on my lazy [...]
Yesterday the Packers announced the hiring of Carl “Big Daddy” Hairston to the defensive coaching staff, though his actual title and duties have yet to be determined. Hairston is a veteran line coach with 11-years experience so he’ll most likely help out Robert Nunn, who was promoted to defensive line coach on Monday. “Big Daddy” [...]

I think we went in to this process thinking that our new and improved coaching staff [...]
So, for all the talk about new directions and new faces and new blood, Mike McCarthy has decided to promote defensive line coach Bob Sanders to be the Packers new defensive coordinator. Sanders has worked under the recently departed Jim Bates for the past five years, including four seasons in Miami as linebackers coach and [...]
Take this news for what you want, but the Press-Gazette is saying Bob Sanders is the leading candidate to replace Jim Bates as defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers. Keep in mind this is coming from the paper that thought Bates was the leading choice to become head coach, but judging from the interviews [...]
The Journal Sentinel is reporting this evening that Mike Stock will join the Packers staff as special teams coach. Stock worked for the Kansas City Chiefs for six seasons while new Green Bay head coach Mike McCarthy was there, then coached at Washington during Marty Schottenheimer’s brief tenure with the Redskins in 2001. He stayed [...]
Packers head coach Mike McCarthy introduced six new and returning coaches today to run the offense during his inaugural campaign in Green Bay. Among the coaches retained from Mike Sherman’s staff are Edgar Bennett, James Campen, and Joe Philbin, while Ty Knott, Ben McAdoo, and Jimmy Robinson made their first appearance in the Green & [...]
