SANDERS OUT IN GREEN BAY

After Packers special teams coordinator Mike Stock announced his retirement, we noted that there were rumors that several other assistant coaches in Green Bay could follow him, in a not-so-voluntary fashion. Defensive coordinator Bob Sanders, defensive ends coach Carl Hairston, and offensive line coach James Campen were believed to be in trouble. For starters, Sanders is out, according to a two-sentence blurb at NationalFootballPost.com. Sanders joined the team in 2005 as a defensive assistant, and he became the coordinator in 2006, in Mike McCarthy’s first season as head coach. Candidates to replaces Sanders could include Mike Nolan. McCarthy spent 2005 in San Francisco as Nolan’s offensive coordinator. Then again, it’s possible that the two men hate each other; we haven’t heard one way or the other.
