Green Bay Coaching Situation

[Fritz]

I thought Nolan Cromwell was the wide receivers coach who was then moved up to ST coach. No?

Nolan Cromwell was a bad quarterback. He consistently overthrew the English monarchy before becoming the Special Teams coach.

Didn't he go to Milton College with Dave Kreig?


Actually, Nolan was ST coach in GB, and he became WR coach in Seattle with Holmy. There was some talk that he might move up to be OC under Shurmur in Cleveland, but somehow I doubt it. (although they've already been turned down by Sean McCoy, Bill Musgrave - going to MN - and probably Juan Castillo too) His coaching trajectory has been incredibly flat. I always thought that guy was on the HC fast track in GB, and then he pretty much flatlined. Anyone know what happened? Maybe it's family decision there too.

He flatlined at Seattle, where he stayed coaching WRs for a long time. But he did spend a few seasons as OC for Mike Sherman at Texas A&M. He came back to the NFL just this year, I think.

Interesting comment from Trgovac the other day when asked about the possibility of a DC job again. Basically, he said he quit as DC when he realized that he wasn't paying attention to his kids even when he was with them because he was so preoccupied with his job. He decided while his kids were in school they needed more of his attention. He said that hasn't changed, and his daughter is still in HS. Plus, he really likes Green Bay.

He said it would be difficult, but that he would have to consider it, if offered one this year. I thought the subtext was that another offer for a DC position in the future is not guaranteed.

Mike Trgovac

I think this guy is the most likely to be offered other positions.....possibly in Phily or Denver. On our side is he has kids in high school so the timing might be right and he likes it here

I could care less about Winston Moss; he seems to get some token interviews but I'd sure love to see DOM get a nice raise and be named asst coach along with the DC.


Greene has been great as a LB coach but he's not going to get any DC offers yet

Whitt, I can see that guy being a DC soon.

I've always said Clements is way overqualified for the position he has and it's outstanding we shitcanned the Bears request to interview him for OC
Winning the Super Bowl and somehow losing Slouch Slocum would be a dream come true; I think he's keeping his job though.

Isn't Whitt pretty young? And I think he has coached just the one position. This may be his first truly noteworthy effort. I think Darren Perry is the guy most likely to get a DC offer short term. He had the fast riser tag on him before with Dom and seems to be doing another good job.

[MadScientist]

Pity some other team won't come offering Campen an OC job. That would help the Pack a lot.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Whitt is one of those coaches that I can see being a DC within 5-6 yrs. He's not long for GB, IMO.

[Patler]

Winston Moss seemed to be one of the "hot" candidates people talked a lot about a few years ago, and he went on a couple interviews with other teams. I don't hear as much said about him anymore. I wonder if maybe he didn't interview very well?

[Fritz]

My guess is he'll warm up a bit now that the Pack is in the Super Bowl...

[Smidgeon]

What about Darren Perry?

(and yes, just saw PB beat me to Perry's name dropping)

[pittstang5]

I thought I heard Winston Moss might be on Philly's list of Defensive Coordinator candidates.

Roberto Duran doesn't like the idea.

[Smeefers]

Is coaching special teams considered a move up for a position coach? I mean, could you keep a Keven Greene or Joe Whitt by shitcanning Slocum and giving the other guy that job?

BTW - Smeefers, welcome to the board. Good posts. But I gotta say, I laugh every time I see your name, cuz it looks like a cross between "Smithers" and "Queef."

Thanks. Haha, gotta love that. I had a puerto rican buddy and when he'd get excited or start talking fast, he'd call me smeef instead of smith. Best nickname ever.

We should throw money at all these guys (except Campen) or do whatever it takes for them to stay because they are phenomenal. Look at the job they have done this year with the injures. Perry making Peprah look like a real safety ... Greene making the OLB opposite of Matthews look good even if they are 3rd or 4th stringers...Whitt helping Shields grow and become a star and making Tramon go from good to great....Moss making Hawk and Bishop loook like a good combo and Hawk is playing better then in the past, while Bishop isn't making big mistakes like he used to.....Mike Trgovac making due even though the D-line got hit with injuries they are still playing at a good level, while Raji is playing pretty dam good football..and it goes on. Do I even need to talk about Dom Capers..I think we all know the job he's done here and I hope he stays with GB for a while. Obviously the players are part of the equation too ,but there's no doubt in my mind the coaches are a big role and one of the main reasons we are in the Super Bowl.
