The Facts:
Joe Philbin is a proud member of the Packers family, and Mike McCarthy’s coaching tree, and if the Dolphins’ new HC would like to stay in the family, and on the tree, don’t expect him to take from that organization. According to two members of the Packers organization, its common knowledge that Packers coaches and executives who move on to bigger and better opportunities are instructed to leave the Packers staff alone. “Off limits,” one of the sources claimed. “Joe’s going to be building the core of his staff from outside.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Sources told Sun-Sentinel staffer Omar Kelly that former Packers HC and current Texas A&M HC Mike Sherman is the front runner to serve as his offensive coordinator if Sherman doesn’t land the Buccaneers HC job. And even though Philbin’s aware members of Green Bay’s staff is “off limits,” that doesn’t mean one or two lower level assistants won’t join him in Miami. The Packers won’t stand in the way of someone having the level of their job “significantly increased,” especially if a similar opportunity doesn’t exist within their organization. Otherwise, Philbin will have to use his league-wide connections, and reputation to build his new staff without raiding his old one.
