Joel Hilgenberg, Asst. O Line Coach, Resigns

[Patler]

The odd thing to me is that I haven't see this as much with other teams. The Packers have now had two quit this year, both wanting to spend more time with their families.

Is MM demanding too much from his staff?
Do the Packers pay too little for the demands made?
Do the families just not want to live in GB?

I don't have a link but I recall reading somewhere that an individual with knowledge of Kevin Greene's situation indicated his wife did not like Green Bay and that played a role in his decision.

Perhaps all of those things are true. That and, if an assistant has played in the league for a while, has done well with the money that he has earned, and has a family situation, like a wife who doesn't care for the living arrangement or a child who is going to be out of the house soon, then he can afford to simply step away. Like Wood said, they can always come back if they left on good terms.

I'm not surprised you don't hear about position coaches quitting from other teams. The only time you hear anything is when it's a coordinator and then only if they're big named or taking HC jobs. They call it the coaching carosel for a reason. People get on and off, but the wheel keeps turning.

The National football post list all that stuff, and that is where I first read about Hilgenberg. Don't recall much about other teams losing their assistants.

Other teams just fire them. Green Bay just pressures them to spend time with their families.

This is starting to get old.

I want a guy to announce that he is being forced out of his job and he is splitting to leave his wife & kids and run off with somebody else's wife.

Or that he punched a kicker.

I don't think you even get reprimanded for that anymore.
