KG Steps Down

[Brandon494]

I knew this months ago, Ive friends with Kevin's nephew who told me this would be his last season. Apparently his wife really doesn't like living in Green Bay. He also said that Kevin will be coaching again in Pittsburgh in the near future.

have you told us this before or am i just having a major case of deja vu?

i think i remember someone saying they knew someone close to someone in the past, like maybe a few years ago, during traning camp

Yea I've mentioned it before, sucks for my friend Nick who is also a huge Packers fan. Not only did he go to a lot of Packers games but he got to watch the game on the sidelines and meet all the players.

Also anyone questioning Greenes coaching ability is talking out of their ass.

good (not for your friend), i thought i was losing my shit

I still remember Greenie's pep talk to CMIII in the SB. he was one of the better fire 'em up guys on the sideline. I actually hope that KG's wife wanting out of GB is the reason.

Good local yokel info Brandon.

We need some scuttlebutt to clear things up.

This move has me unsettled.

In 5 years, Greene was given 2 first-rounders (Matthews and Perry) and a second-rounder (Neal). Also FAs, Walden, Moses, Mulumba, Zombo...

Would a failure to develop Perry be enough reason to bounce him? Has Perry been healthy enough to judge?

Everybody has such short memories. Before GB drafted Perry nearly everybody said he was a horrid fit for a 3-4

Other than the Special Teams coach the same year, and one S&C coach.

There was a time when people said MM would have difficulty getting good assistants because he didn't show enough loyalty.

One might argue we don't have many of them right now...specially on the defensive side

Doesn't Slocum miss his family?

I bet they don't miss him. Wouldn't be surprised if they had a 'Divorce Slocum' Wednesday in that household.

Fuck! I was excited about Greene coaching DeMarcus Ware in GB.

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES KEVIN...YOU'LL BE MISSED.

Check out Post # 87.

I'm all chewed up over the loss of this MAN.

My stomach has churned ever since I learned the "shocking News".

I thought at first it was a really bad joke. It feels like someone I really loved died.

He always seemed like the "only REAL MAN" coaching on the sidelines.

My heart is in my throat posting this.

So, when our defense rebounds to finish next year ranked #12 with all the same players (basically) are all the over reactors on this board going to conclude that KG was the problem?

[smuggler]

Yes, and they'll be wrong. If anything, it'd be health, development, and possibly a draft gem that would cause that kind of turnaround.
