Tom Silverstein tweets that Tom Clements will be returning as QB coach for next season.
@DurangoDoug posted:I hope Tom Clements is staying, but he is getting up there in years. Perhaps Mannion will be his assistant and learn from one of the best QB coaches for a year or two.
I think I got it right.
When he hangs it up, Clements belongs in the Packer HOF

That’s huge! Not only will this help further development of Love but it also serves as an endorsement of his skills and potential by Clements. 👍
Plus he will also be working with Sean Clifford.
Can Clifford red-shirt for another twelve years?
Just think how much more he will be worth in 2025 when he is traded to the Jets to be their starting QB. Maybe we'll get that 1st rounder then.
@TomSilverstein: As new DC Jeff Hafley builds his staff, two #Packers defensive assistants who will not return are passing game coordinator Greg Williams and inside linebackers coach Kirk Olivadotti, a source said. Olivadotti will join the staff of new #Seahawks coach Mike McDonald.
I thought those guys did pretty decent Especially Olivadotti with McDuffie
McDuffie is a smart instinctual player but is athletically limited. Walker is the exact opposite. If we do play more 4 man fronts the ILBer's are going to have to be better vs. the run. Watching Wahle's game reviews, Walker and Campbell were not good at triggering vs. runs between the tackles. They would often be "catching" instead of attacking blockers 3-5 yards off the LOS.

Here's where I do think they have to turn Quay into something like Parsons. Quay is fast, reasonably strong, and has quickness. Why put him way behind the LOS to wait for guys to get to him or make him run up to them? Get him closer to the LOS, send him after guys, let him blitz as well, and let him run down ballcarriers trying to get outside.
I always had the feeling Barry said, "This is the scheme. You're going to play here because I need one of those, no matter what your strengths and weaknesses are. And then when you miss, I'll blame you as being out of position." Square peg, round hole, and all that.
We need to ensure someone gets him sorted out with the proper Italian deli’s in Milwaukee and Kenosha.

According to Rob Demovsky
The Packers have the last major piece to the new defensive staff now in place. Former Chargers DC Derrick Ansley will be the new pass game coordinator, per a source. There will likely be a few quality control or assistant position coaches added but all key positions are filled.
Ansley was DC under Staley in LA with previous stops at Titans and Raiders coaching DBs
Source: The Green Bay Packers are set to hire Miami (Ohio)’s Myles White as assistant wide receivers coach. He coached Miami’s wide receivers the past two seasons after stops at Stephen F. Austin and SMU. Football Scoop on it first.

Former Packer fan favorite Myles White.
Dude was destined to be a coach - he should have a blast working with this WR crew in Green Bay
I realize that GB has suddenly become a desired destination given all the young talant, but it looks to be a good staff:
- Jason Rebrovich, DL: Outside LB coach in GB last year
- Vince Oghobaase, asst DL: from Hafley's DL staff, sacks jumped from 1.67 to 2.25 under him; two years as Niners assistant DL; at UCLA in his second year they cut .5 yards ave. off opponents' rushing, and sacks went from 11 to 26
- Anthony Campanile, LBs: up for DC for the Giants
- Ryan Downard, S/DBs: stays in GB, will focus on safeties
- Derrick Ansley, CBs: up for DC with Giants, Chargers non-playcalling DC but after Staley was fired, he called plays for the final three games giving up 17.7 pts/game (24.6 in the 14 games prior); started coaching DBs under Nick Saban
If this staff produces as well as its pedigree suggests, the D may finally begin match potential to production.
On the offensive side, as a UDFA, Myles White will add some good experience and desire to the young WRs. He was with GB last year for two months as part of the diversity program. Sean Mannion as Clements' understudy is an inspired choice; many say the only reason he was employed as a player was because of how smert he is, plus he was on the Rams' roster when MLF was OC there. He becomes Clements' heir apparent, as the coming year may be Clements' last one.
It also begs to wonder how much control MLF had over the D staff to date. If he's willing to do a whole-hog makeover this year, does that mean Murphy/Gute kept really tight control over who MLF hired/fired in the past and they now trust MLF more? Or, is MLF feeling a whole lot more confident in his own abilities after having such good success without Rodgers?

Knowing WMM is dead man walking, LaFleur said fuck your silo shit.
Oghobaase is almost as fun to say as Fernando Francisco.

Do they have a Satriale's Market in SE Wisconsin? Campanelli could have come from "The Sopranos" cast.

Where do you think Walker ends up in this defense? I actually have no idea if he's MLB, WLB, or OLB. Honestly it's been so long since we've been a 4-3 I've kind of forgot the requirements of each LB position.

Bernardo Harris.... CHAMPIONSHIP 🏆🤭
@CUPackFan posted:Where do you think Walker ends up in this defense?
He'll take Preston Smith's spot covering the #1 WR.
Quay needs to be attacking. Whatever position puts him in less read / react and more attack is where he needs to be.
Quay played spy vs. Bears to make sure Fields didn't run all over the place.
That worked very well and a lot of us called for it before that Bear game.
More of that please.
Wherever he plays, I don't want to see him in the old CMIII role where he just rushed the passer all the time. That worked for a bit, but running up into those big guys all the time took its toll by the end of each year on CMIII. If Hafley plays the 4-3 more like a 5-2, then I'd like to see Quay at one of the 2 LB positions. His job would vary: he could rush the QB, or cover a RB or TE (he's pretty fast), play spy as needed, or drop into coverage. One thing's for sure: he's more versatile than Smith, so he shouldn't be doing the same thing all the time. Make the QB have to account for him on every play.
Savage, Nixon, and Nijman all will become free agents as their contracts were not extended. Probably the right move but I thought they might keep Savage (and maybe Nixon too).
@R MaN posted:Probably the right move but I thought they might keep Savage (and maybe Nixon too).
Those 2 guys could be back depending how everything else shakes out in FA/Draft
I thought Nixon would be a good fit as back-up nickle and back up Safety as well as top KR. That would allow GB to keep (4) corners, (4) Safeties and have Nixon as the 5th DB for both positions.
@mattschneidman: The Packers are hiring 49ers assistant strength coach Aaron Hill as their new head of strength and conditioning, per source.
Hill with a Masters in Applied Kinesiology-Sport and Exercise Science. Certainly has the education needed to succeed.
