In Tuesday’s Cheese Curds, we highlighted a common theme that had emerged from the list of head coaching candidates for the Green Bay Packers. That theme was discipline.
Today we look at the inverse and look at the varying backgrounds of the candidates. Some are former NFL head coaches who are now coordinator or position coaches. Some are coordinators looking to be head coaches for the first time. The Packers are clearly exploring all avenues and aren’t looking for a specific set of qualifications aside from what they feel is a need to instill some kind of discipline.
They also vary in age from 37 (Brian Flores) to 63 (Jim Caldwell). While the young hotshot trend that seems to be sweeping the league is something Green Bay is considering but they also aren’t afraid to look at the older and more seasoned coaches as well.
You can read more on the coaching candidates plus a current Packer eagerly awaits the next step on his father’s journey to Canton in today’s cheese curds.
