Green Bay Coaching Situation

[Smeefers]

All I really know about these guys is that there's going to be a lot of new faces around next year. A super bowl winning team usually doesn't go into the next year with half the coaches they had from the previous year. It's probably one of the reasons there's so few repeats out there. I can think of 3 patriot coaches right off the top of my head that left. Weiss, Crennell and Magini. I think the most likely to go are Winston Moss and Joe Philbin. Not big losses in and of themselves. I guess who I'm really afraid of loosing is Capers. I firmly believe that he is the main reason we got to the SB.

Weiss and Mangenious both had huge egos that needed to be fed, hence their willingness to leave. I haven't heard of any such ego on our coaching staff.

I think we should keep them all, except Campen. Unless the Packers lose the Superbowl. Then they should all be fired.

[vince]

I have a hard time seeing the Titans being interested in Capers, knowing the kind of longevity and stability they value, along with Capers' age.

It seems likely at this point based on the rumors that either or both Perry and Trgovac could leave. Unless its to an intradivision team which could be strategically damaging, the Packers aren't likely to stand in the way of professional advancement.

I like Darren Perry a lot, particularly as Capers' eventual successor, but it's looking like we won't be able to hang onto him as a safties coach for that long. If he goes to Philly, Joe Whitt could slide over to be DB coach and they could bring in or promote an assistant for him. I think Trgovac is a great d-line coach, but he has limited experience in the 3-4 so he's a dubious coordinator prospect for the Packers at this point. Has Denver hired a D-Coordinator yet?

[Fritz]

Won't anybody out there hire Kurt Schottenheimer?

Eagles could be waiting for Darren Perry

The Philadelphia Eagles don’t have a defensive coordinator. And they haven’t had a defensive coordinator for several weeks.
And they may not have a defensive coordinator until the day after the Super Bowl, at the earliest.
Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com believes that the Eagles are waiting for a guy who’s still coaching — and that the guy for whom they’re waiting is Packers safeties coach Darren Perry.
In fact, Frank thinks the deal may already be done.
If Perry’s still under contract, the Packers could block the move. But if the Packers are willing to let Perry leave — and if they’ve also permitted Perry to work out a deal with the Eagles while Green Bay’s season still was unfolding — then Perry could get the job quickly.
The Packers don’t have a defensive backs coach per se; Perry handles the safeties and Joe Whitt, Jr. coaches the cornerbacks. It’s possible that Whitt will simply assume responsibility for both positions, if Perry goes.
Perry spent nine seasons in the NFL, seven of them with Green Bay’s opponent in the Super Bowl. Perry started every game from 1992 through 1997, and 14 of 16 in 1998. He was a member of Pittsburgh’s Super Bowl XXX team.

Safeties coach? Man, you can't throw a jockstrap at Lambeau without hitting some kind of coach.

There's a coach for that too. Coach Bott M. Hanes. He's only been here a brief time.

[swede]

His support is appreciated.

Be sure and try the veal.

And here I was worried thinking this story came from a reliable source....

i don't see dom going to the titans

in order for him to leave he would have to get a head coaching gig. so lets look at the titans. every one and their mother thinks that the titans are going to bring back fat albert haynesworth this off season mostly because they are the only ones that want him. fat albert will not play in a 3-4 defense, he's already proven he's unwilling to try. so bringing in dom and his 3-4 won't work

so lets say they don't bring in haynesworth. well the titans are getting rid of VY and they are in desperate need of a young franchise qb. my guess is they want an offensive minded head coach that is good at grooming qb's not a defensive guru that runs a scheme their players won't want to run

Perry is as good as gone. Too bad since I thought he was our next DC in waiting.

I hear ya, mate, but the only reason our guys are targets are because of the obvious success of the team. One doesn't come with the other, right?

It is Florio, but here he is just repeating a report from CSNPhilly.com

But the piece is speculation. The only tidbit he got from team sources is that there is a method to their madness. Meaning they have a plan, and given the timing, it looks like they are chasing as assistant from one of the Super Bowl teams.

In other news, Trgovac was the #1 candidate for Denver to be DC, but they decided not to wait until after the Super Bowl, so they hired the guy from the Saints.
