The coaching roots run deep in Pettines family. (AP Photo/Mike Roemer, File)Vacations to the Jersey shore as a child gave the Green Bay Packers' defensive coordinator a glimpse of the life. His father, a high school football coach in suburban Philadelphia, took a briefcase to the beach, settled a chair into the sand and went to work.
''I do the same ... But it's a backpack. I'm a little more with the times,'' Pettine said.
The lessons passed on by dad stay with him to this day.
