Packers

Offense

Offensive cooridinator Tom Rossley missed Sunday’s game with chest pains. The Packers then scored 38 points, so Sherman may keep thhe duties.

While it’s under consideration, Sherman will still likely have the final say over personnel. The team may look for Sherman’s advice choosing a scouting director that could more clearly help him with draft and free agency decisions. Their 2004 draft was a sham.

He has one-year left on his deal and doesn’t want to hit ''coaching free agency’’ next season. The Packers say they are intersted, but Sherman might enter 2005 on the proverbial hot seat.

League-wide speculation had Wolf joining McKenzie, ostensibly because his father, Ron, was heading the Raiders’ front-office search. Eliot will likely end up filling McKenzie’s shoes in Green Bay instead. With Wolf and director of college scouting John Dorsey staying put, the concerns about a Packers “brain drain” have been allayed.

Michael Philbin was last heard from at around 2AM Sunday after visiting friends in Oshkosh. They reported him missing on Sunday evening. The 21-year-old was sentenced to six months in jail in 2009 after he was convicted of sexually assaulting two young girls, and two counts of battery. The Packers are preparing to face the Giants in Sunday’s Divisional round playoff game.

It’s believed Michael Philbin, 21, fell through the ice early Sunday. His body was found in roughly 15 feet of water, 30 yards from shore, at around 4PM ET Monday. Michael’s friends in Oshkosh filed a missing person’s report Sunday night after he was nowhere to be found throughout the day. Joe Philbin, Green Bay’s fifth-year offensive coordinator, is currently away from the team.

The Pack previously blocked McAdoo from interviewing with the Dolphins. McAdoo is also the second coordinator candidate the Bucs have been denied permission to interview after the Cardinals elected not to let WRs coach John McNulty talk to his former boss Greg Schiano. McAdoo was recently passed over for the Packers’ offensive coordinator job by QBs coach Tom Clements.

Dorsey is in line for a promotion with director of football operations Reggie McKenzie and perhaps assistant director of player personnel Eliot Wolf leaving for the Raiders. One source tells ESPN 540 Milwaukee that Dorsey is also “simply happy in Green Bay.”

It’s Green Bay’s apology after it blocked McAdoo from interviewing for the Bucs’ offensive coordinator job last week. He’s replacing Tom Clements, who was promoted to offensive coordinator after Joe Philbin left to coach the Dolphins. McAdoo spent the previous six seasons as the Pack’s TEs coach.

The Packers’ QBs coach the past six seasons, Clements served as the Bills’ offensive coordinator from 2004-05. Philbin’s departure should only be a minor stumbling block for an offense that led in the NFL in scoring in 2011, as head coach Mike McCarthy has served as play-caller since arriving in Green Bay in 2006.
