Can confirm that #Packers DBs coach Jason Simmons is headed to Carolina to join his former college DC Phil Snow. Packers are lining up candidates to replace him.

Interesting. Simmons has been in GB a long time, and was promoted by LaFleur last off season to his last position.

While assistant coaches often work under 1 year contracts, they are almost forced into annual extensions in the off seasons before their contracts expire. If the team doesn't offer an extension, or the coach doesn't sign it, you have the uneasy year like Alex VanPelt had his last year in GB.

Since they rarely are free agents, an assistant from a continuing staff gets to leave only when the team doesn't care if they leave, especially on a lateral move like this appears.

Kris Richards is available. Just sayin'. Time to make our own Earl Thomas out of the Missle.

Simmons had been in Green Bay a long time, but his position as DB coach this year was a major step up. His previous positions had been assistant special teams coach, defensive/special teams assistant and coaching administrator. Perhaps the Packers felt he was not up to it. The catastrophic failure of the Packes run defense against the 49ers might make people forget that for about half the season, the Packers endured some real problems with their defensive secondary play.

That would be a great pickup if it happened. He might be looking for a DC job though.

It would be a bit odd. He's overqualified and was a co-DC last year (he called the defense). He would likely be a short timer.

I've sent an email to LaFluer, to express my interest in the vacancy. Fingers crossed. Here's a copy of the email:

S'up Frog,

My name is Tank Elf Duke. As a shutdown corner in high school, I shut down Wisconsin's best WR, Darren Charles. David v Goliath all over again, yo.

If not for discrimination, prejudice and racism, I would've balled at a D-1 school. Alvarez personally told me, "Look kid, you act hip hop and shit, but as far as I can tell, you're just a Siberian nigga. D-1 ain't no place for short, pale corners!"

My major expertise is, I've mastered the arts of the shutdown corner. I ain't give fucks about shit like the Pistol Force. I'm all bout preaching shutdownism!

King ain't as good as he and a whole lotta uncool Pack fans think he is. In fact, King sucks so abominably, he makes Micah Hyde look like Charles Woodson.

Give me a shot at working with King, and I bet my entire salary I will morph King into a fucking shutdown corner next season.

Speaking of salary, as someone who currently makes the federal minimum-wage, I'd be jolly with a starting annual salary of $50,000.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

Peace,

Tank Elf Duke

So we got candidates:

Kris Richard

Tank Elf Duke

Richard did not shut down Darren Charles, but he was drafted in he 3rd round of the NFl Draft. As a coach in Seattle he was 8-2 against Kaepernick's 49ers.

I guess you mean if you made $50,000, you'd be johnny jolly?

As jolly as Johnny Jolly high on the purple drank.

Something is fucked up when a chick holds bachelors in accounting and economics and passed the CPA exams, and she’s making the federal minimum wage.

He had the Legion of Boom and Wagner. Bob Slowik could achieve the same kind of success with that kind of personal.

I would make King a shutdown corner.

You're saying you're a chick? Wow, that's a revelation!

Well, if you had read between the lines in my other posts, hip surgery is code word for sex change.

No, actually, sometimes I prefer the word she over he. I am what I am.

Ex: Tim Tebow, to paraphrase awesome Coldplay: Don’t ever say you’re on your way down when God gave you style and SHE gave you grace. SHE put a smile upon your face.
