Well, it's been mentioned on and off through a few posts, but nothing really talked about. Here's a list of possible coaches we could loose. Feel free to add anyone of importance you think I might of missed.
Assistant Head Coach/Inside Linebackers – Winston Moss
Defensive Coordinator – Dom Capers
Defensive Line – Mike Trgovac
Outside Linebackers – Kevin Greene
Secondary - Corner backs – Joe Whitt, Jr.
Special Teams Coordinator – Shawn Slocum
Winston Moss was promoted to assistant head coach in order to prevent teams from grabbing him. He'd have to be offered a head coaching position in order for him to leave. I think.. right?
Dom Capers is old as dirt, I doubt he'll want to rebuild a team. He'd have to head somewhere where there's already an offense in place, and perhaps even a coordinator he can work with. I honestly don't see him going anywhere. More specifically, I don't see him wanting to build yet another franchise and those are the only franchises out there that have coaching vacancies. Why move when you have the best shot of winning rings here? Especially when winning those rings could put you in the record books for being the best D coach of this generation.
Mike Trgovac is, well, I don't know. All I know is people talk about him being good. He used to be a DC over at Carolina and I guess I could see him going someplace else for that job again. I honestly don't know enough about him to make an educated call.
Kevin Greene's linebackers have been playing out of their mind good and it's obvious that it's because of the coaching. I don't see a lot of other guys out there who could turn Zombo and Walden into the starters they've been and he's been the main coach for Clay Mathews, front runner DPOY. I can see him getting snatched up. This is only his second year coaching though, so we may get to keep him for a little bit longer until he learns the ropes, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to pick him up.
Joe Whitt, Jr. has done an excellent job with the secondary, bringing up Tramon and Sam. I'm sure he relied heavily on Woodson and Harris to help teach these kids and they were definitely great mentors, but he's the one who pulled them all together. I don't know a ton about him though, or even if teams have been mentioning his name. He's just someone I thought I should mention.
Finally there's Slocum. He's come under heavy heavy pressure this year and I will be the first to admit that he's done a pretty decent job in the second half of the season. I think he's done so well that he bought himself another year. I'm not sure about that though. He's on this list for a completely different reason than the other guys. I think he may be let go. Now, I've said in the past that "I believed once Slocum got fired that the ST would magically get better, that's how much I blame him." I just want everyone to know my bias toward this guy.
One thing I'd like to add, which I briefly mentioned with Winston Moss, is that for these guys to leave, they'd have to be offered a higher position. For Dom Capers to leave, he'd have to be offered a HC job. For Green to leave, a DC job and so on. If it's just a lateral move, then they have to abide by their contracts. Also, I'm not positive, but I don't think anyone can talk to our coaches while we're still in the playoffs. So just because we haven't seen any action on our guys doesn't mean it's not coming after the season.
Hopefully this will provide a bit of chatter for the next friggin 8 days, 20 hours and 40 minutes (give or take.)
