Sherman Fires Schottenheimer

From JS Online...

Green Bay Packers coach Mike Sherman has fired defensive backs coach Kurt Schottenheimer, according to a source close to the team. There was no indication if Sherman would make other staffing changes. Before coming to Green Bay, Schottenheimer, who replaced Bob Slowik as secondary coach, was fired as defensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions after his unit ranked 24th in 2003 and 31st in '02.Schottenheimer oversaw a unit in 2004 that finished No. 25 in the league against the pass (228.9), which was the team's worst ranking since the merger in 1970. Blown assignments became commonplace, penalties went unchecked and quarterbacks had one gigantic field day. The opponents passer rating of 101.5 in 17 games was worse than anything the Packers had allowed before (86.1 in ’58). Green Bay surrendered a club-record 37 touchdown passes and intercepted a team-low eight passes. -By Bob McGinn

Good start, but the entire Defensive coaching staff must go. They stink. Ed Donatell for the fall guy for 4th and 26. It was bush league move by Sherman. More importantly, he fire the wrong guy! (By the way Schottenheimer was the reason the we trade our best corner Mike McKenzie. Hope it was worth it.)

I hope this is just the beginning.
