Where's Denver on the number of games starters have missed?
OW. 53 games this year, 49 last year. Little better than the NFL average.
One team wins the dance each year the others are underachieving and disappointments.....Jesus ****
Stick your participation ribbon up your ass
"the great" Bellicheat is an underachiever for a decade now
B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-UT 3 RINGS THEY SHOULD JUST NAME IT THE BELICHEK TROPHY GO SAWX #TEBOWTIME
Possible replacement for Kevin Greene...Pepper Johnson. Actually, maybe even more than an LB coach. Something like assistant DC?
Everybody and their mother is saying the same thing. If Capers is still around it's going to be an internal promotion.
When was the last time someone actually, truly, really, left a job to spend time with family?
I've known people who refused to retire because they didn't want to spend time with their family.
Isn't that why they invented Happy Hour?
I travel 3 nights a week.
Every week.
Mrs. Blair Kiel just told me I can retire when I'm 78.
Coincidence?
Lot of guys volunteer for OT.....Come into work early...stay late....Less ball n chain time the better is spose
But that's still better than the alternative....
....drinking every night.
....toilet seat up.
...Tosh..O marathons
Sigh.
I'm with you, Hungry. Guys with the passion of Greene don't suddenly up and want to leave, no matter the reason unless it's a serious health issue. It's one of two things: he either was pushed out, or he wanted out of the sinking ship that is our Capers-led defense.
If he doesn't take a job with another team & is seen spending time with his family...What does that mean?
Means he'd be the first to actually leave a coaching gig to spend time with family.
If KG was under contract for 2014 (or beyond) he cant just resign and then go to another team. He resigns and thats it cant go elsewhere as a strategy to get out of GB.
If he was under contract and was forced out he likely would have made the Pack fire him to get paid the balance of his contract.
I'm not buying the tin foil hat conspiracy theories. Most likely he is true to his word and wanted to see more of his kids through their HS years. Perhaps a little burnout also played into it. He was reluctant to get into coaching in the first place due to the time commitments involved. And, he only asked for a coaching gig when Capers came to GB as DC.

No, ironic.
This from Andrew Brandt at SI MMQB:

A football life
January is the season for coaching transition in the NFL, when coaches disembark from what I call the six-month “submarine tour” they boarded in late July and come ashore to view the shifting horizon. Head coaches are fired and hired, and staffs are reshuffled, culminating at this week’s Senior Bowl—a job fair for coaches seeking continued or renewed employment. After this week, the game of musical chairs will end, with those unable to find a seat waiting until next year.
(Jeff Hanisch/USA Today Sports) Beyond the usual turnover, however, a different type of coaching transaction caught my eye. Kevin Greene, the Packers’ outside linebackers’ coach, resigned from the Packers to spend more time with his wife and two teenage children. In a profession where people often find it difficult to imagine doing anything else, Greene’s decision is noteworthy. It also resonates personally, albeit under different circumstances. I also left the Packers, six years ago this week, and now lead a life more under my own terms, with family in mind.
I don’t know Kevin Greene—we were not in Green Bay at the same time—but I have seen the atmosphere where one can become consumed with football, both internally and externally. Many people involved in NFL team operations have “football lives,” often to the exclusion of other interests. They think and talk about football when they eat, when they drive and even when they are at home. Some find it hard to be truly “present” with their families.
These football lives take on regimentation similar to players, but with longer hours and less pay. I regularly saw coaches and scouts use the team facility for their meals, their laundry, their workouts, even their wardrobe, wearing team-issued gear wherever they went. Social time is largely with others leading similar lives. As for family time, it can come in fits and starts.
Although as a front office executive I did not have the all-consuming life coaches and scouts did, my family still felt the impact. My sons, who were quite young when I was with the Packers, saw football as something that took me away from them, especially on the weekends, and we could never actually watch a game together as I worked during home games and traveled with the team. We now cherish watching games together.
Greene was with the Packers for five years, I was there nine years, the same length of time as my first boss, general manager Ron Wolf (and two years longer than Mike Holmgren). When Ron retired, I remember saying he felt “the walls were closing in” and grew to understand that comment.
Packers fans are warm-hearted people without pretense or edge and the Green Bay community is very welcoming; we made some wonderful life-long friends. Yet at times, it became hard to talk about topics beyond the team. I remember pumping gas and being tapped on the shoulder and asked, How’s that Donald Driver contract going? or being asked everywhere I went about Brett, Aaron or some other part of the team. And I was not even a coach or player; they felt it much more than I. The constant encirclement and year-round consumption of the Packers, although a special relationship, led to feeling, as Ron said, like the walls were closing in. I sense Greene felt that as well.
Often when we hear someone leaving to “spend more time with family,” we wonder about a back story. And many who state that reason for leaving have children that have already left home. I take this, though, for what it is: Kevin Greene chose to transition from a “football life” to a more impactful presence with his children at a formative time in their lives. And as every parent knows, that time is fleeting.
I can accept Greene's explanation at face value. Even if it isn't the truth, that doesn't change the fact that the Packers need to find a new OLB coach.
They shouldn't have any problem finding an OLB coach. There are plenty on the internet.
Isn't the old adage "Those who can't DO, TEACH?"
Those who can, do. Those you can't, teach.

Those who can't do, teach, administrate, or consult, are NFL assisstant coaches.

Rusty quoting himself just to bump up his post count. 
Those who know are best left to do, only those who understand should teach.

NICE...
The Packers like all teams have a succession plan for their coaches who may move on to bigger and better things ala Ben McAdoo
I wonder if the Packers talked to Greene about possibly becoming a DC in the future and when confronted with even more responsibility/time demands he realized that he really wanted to go in the other direction- more family time instead of less
At some point, we'll learn more. Or not
Good luck to Greene and I hope he makes into the HOF
To the Packer Nation: Thank you! Thank you for your kind thoughts and well wishes. Trust me on this, it has been my honor. God Bless to all.
@sackmaster91 Is this the real KG? If so we got to get you verified so people know!!! #AwesomeCoach #CobraStrike
@Mike_Daniels76 Dang Skippy Big Daniels. If you ever need a partner to walk down a dark alley with, give me a call.

Another assistant coach leaves for "family reasons".....
GREEN BAY — Green Bay Packers assistant offensive line coach Joel Hilgenberg says he is resigning from the team.
Coach Mike McCarthy announced Hilgenberg's decision on Friday. Hilgenberg has been on the Packers staff since 2011. He served as offensive quality control coach before moving to the offensive line in 2012.
The 51-year-old Hilgenberg says in a statement issued by the team that he is leaving to spend more time with his wife and daughter. He thanked the Packers for the opportunity.
McCarthy says he respects Hilgenberg's decision.
Outside linebackers coach Kevin Greene resigned earlier this offseason, citing the same reasons.

Has she heard puff viagra.
Joel's brother should be in the Hall. He was a badass. Not quite a Kramer should be in the Hall argument but close. I think Jay had to center 10 different QBs in Chicago.
Hard to watch the assistants leave and not wonder if MM is ratcheting up his expectations of his staff. I think it's safe to say Mike wants to put his name on more than one Lombardi. The way the past 3 years have ended seem to be grinding on him. I don't think he's the friendliest chat around the water cooler these days.
It's obvious he left because he was overwhelmed by virtuoso like mastery of oline coaching that is James Campen.
