Kevin Greene - leaving the Packers

That came out of nowhere

 

So QB coach and now OLB coach need to be filled

"I will miss coaching and will try to return after our kids move on to college if a team will have me."

Obviously, TT and Dom's fault for not being aware that Greene would leave.  

 

Good luck to him, and I can't believe there aren't 32 teams that would offer Greene an opportunity when the time comes.  

We don't know which assistant coaches' contracts were up. Doesn't really sound like he is breaking his contract, just that he didn't want to re-up maybe.

Good for him being a father first.  Make sure those kids don't grow up without Bluray.

His passion & fire will be hard to replace. Wish him the best.

True FS, but IIRC the assistants were re-newed a year or two back to be aligned with Capers and their deals run through the 2014 season.

 

 

 

 

I guess, "It is time."

just move Edgar Bennett to LB coach already. Might as well. He did well with RBs and then did well with the receivers. Lets see what knowledge he can input with LBers. Cant be any less than Winston Moss has....

Hmmmm. Kudos to him if this is the case and he needs to pull away for a while. Can't help but wonder if this the first crack in McCarthy/Capers defensive fortress from the coaching standpoint. We've watched it start to crumble on the field. What's next?

What's next?  A new OLB coach who will kick even more ass!   (I hope)

Good for Kevin.  I know my day really begins when I get home with my son.

Too bad for the team, but good on him to keep his priorities straight. The amount of time required of coaches is hard on family life, to say the least.

A part of me wonders if KG decided to "step away" after a meeting at 1265 told him a change was being made.

That's what I was thinking.  Might be a move to 4-3.

He's sick of working with AJ Hawk.

I thought AJ was Moss responsibility.

Samurai Mike just left the Vikings. Maybe he'll come in and show us his ass.

So that was the problem, the outside LB coach was coaching the inside LB's.

Bummer, best wishes to KG's future endeavors.

 

Hope MM can get an outstanding replacement.

I still remember in the NFC Championship Game when Greene blitzed TOG and had TOG wrapped up and TOG was able to wiggle loose enough to shovel a pass off for key first down.  I think TOG burned Greene a couple times in that game.

 

Well, good for him to focus on family.  Truth is I don't know why more asst coaches don't leave for similar reasons.

 

Just wondering who else is bound for different pastures.  I hope EGB sticks around, Edgar was one of my all-time faves as a Packer.

Probably a wise choice to spend time with his kids, it's not like working on a Capers-led defense is going to add anything to your resume.

 

Wonder if these are isolated incidents or if the natives (coaches) are getting restless under MM?

I just heard McAdoo is gone to the NYGs...did someone post it already?

Let's ask Goldie.

 

I, for one, would enjoy that.

 

I mean him coaching the Packers LB'ers.... not showing his ass

Cue Obnoxious ObjectiveBearsFan

I don't see that. The guy worked miracles this year with a UDFA in Mulumba and position switch by Neal.  He certainly hasn't had a lot of top-shelf talent to work with during his 5 years.

Just got a text from a friend.. He said, rumors in Milwaukee is that Greene was fired and that there is more to come..PUT WHAT STOCK IN IT YOU WILL..

Perhaps DocBenni can grease his source again?

 

Makes sense.

He was breaking player's thumbs to make an example of them.

Well, that keeps the doctors employed anyway

He was a nun?

This would not shock me. I have a hard time seeing Thompson and friends standing pat after what we've seen from this defense the last couple years, regardless of injuries. There has got to be pressure coming from the board of directors to fix this asap. I have the feeling this won't be the only change. Hopefully Ted also will take some of the blame. We'll see if he changes his philosophy on how they acquire talent going forward. 

Signing Free Agents is easy.  Figuring out how to do it and still sign players like Arod, CMIII, Cobb, Nelson, Shields, etc is the difficult part.  

 

Many fans scratch their head in amazement why TT doesn't jump into the bidding wars of FA.  It's just not that simple

I think this is a sign we may be getting the hybrid 34/43 D that we have been asking for. While it's not uncommon to have a DE and DT coach, training 43 Ends is not exactly Greene's forte. They can consolidate the staff a little by having Trgovac work with the DEs and Moss work with the OLBs (cringe! It should have been him!). Either way it's a loss, Greene's fire and energy I think was an asset.

The question to me is who out there is really good that we can bring in to replace KG?

 

Especially, since its a bit late in the coaching hiring phase of the off season.

I don't think we have to worry about TT getting caught up in any bidding wars but it seems as if he's trying to prove something by staying out of it altogether. There could be no more to this than what's been reported. I don't think there's a simple solution and wouldn't want them to start over in terms of coaching or go hog=wild in free agency. The Packers need to take a hard look at everything if their going to get better.
