This should save a little bit of money for the Packers organization.

Sherman is the fourth offensive coordinator in franchise history. He replaces Troy Calhoun, who left to take the top coaching job at Air Force.

C'mon Partial, give it back!!

If Shermie gets an H/C job, does the money "saved" get used against the salary cap? We can't use it for players can we??

[Guiness]

nyet. Coaching budget does not come out of salary cap, it comes out of the bottom line. Which us fans don't care so much about, but is pretty important to the guys running the show!

btw that's sometimes percieved as a 'hole' in the cap. A team like Washington can buy the coaching staff it needs (look at the $5mil he spent on Spurrier - unheard of at the time) while Minnesota's got Tice at $1mil/year. Of course, Washington has also shown you can spend that money as foolishly as cap money.

How long before Sherman makes the phone call to TT inquiring about the availability of Kevin Barry? Maybe Jersey #71 is available in Houston too. Larry Beightol is available to coach the line.
