Sanders Fired

[red]

next up on the chopping block

campen, the man who can't get his players to improve

[Bretsky]

gonna be replaced in house?.... brutal

They're unlikely to replace Sanders in-house

which is music to my eyes

bring in someone with an aggressive scheme

Red,

I COMPLETELY AGREE that this would be great news.............but where do you see they are going "outside" the organization ?

If we stay in house with the hire we might as well have kept VB. None of these guys have had units that have excelled............well.........maybe DB but we know he's not going to be our DC.

Interesting since the JS hasn't picked up on this yet. Hopefully it's true.

i was just quoting to rotoworld post that paco misread

I am hearing Moss will be the DC. Nothing confirming that but it does make sense. He is the Asst HC wouldn't they have to fire him also to go outside?

I don't agree it makes sense to hire a guy who has never been a DC before over several more qualified candidates from the outside. The unit Moss coaches didn't exactly light it up either. I'd be very disappointed if he's handed the job.

Yes, I'm looking to local sources as well and haven't found anything yet

maybe they'll get rid of the whole d-staff?

moss would be a bad idea IMO, his unit was one of the big problems this year

Agreed, but the biggest of Moss' problems this year is that nobody in his group was healthy. Barnett, Hawk, Chillar, Pop... they all were dinged up for most of the season. All things considered, I'll bet if Barnett doesn't get injured we are playing a game today.

Course, then Sanders prolly stays on board, so maybe it's a blessing in disguise.

Here it is on PFT....yes...it's true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mike Nolan would be an awesome choice. But....they'll probably end up hiring Moss for the job if he doesn't get it in St Louis.

Barnett was not having one of his better seasons even before the injury

Hawk underperformed

Chillar was solid

Poppings was alright but noting special

Injuries are a convenient excuse but this unit played much worse that its ability even when healthy IMO

SANDERS OUT IN GREEN BAY
Posted by Mike Florio on January 4, 2009, 7:30 p.m.

After Packers special teams coordinator Mike Stock announced his retirement, we noted that there were rumors that several other assistant coaches in Green Bay could follow him, in a not-so-voluntary fashion.

Defensive coordinator Bob Sanders, defensive ends coach Carl Hairston, and offensive line coach James Campen were believed to be in trouble.

For starters, Sanders is out, according to a two-sentence blurb at NationalFootballPost.com.

Sanders joined the team in 2005 as a defensive assistant, and he became the coordinator in 2006, in Mike McCarthy’s first season as head coach.

Candidates to replaces Sanders could include Mike Nolan. McCarthy spent 2005 in San Francisco as Nolan’s offensive coordinator.

Then again, it’s possible that the two men hate each other; we haven’t heard one way or the other.

Hell yeah...I'll get my wife to bake him a cake and I'll pay for his Packers hall of fame tour.

[Pacopete4]

[red]

thats a decent start
