In my last post, I expressed my views on the Packers’ firing of defensive coordinator Dom Capers. The purge has continued, with the additional removals of offensive coordinator Edgar Bennett, quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt, defensive line coach Mike Trgovac, and assistant linebackers coach Scott McCurley.
Offensive Coordinator Edgar Bennett
We’ve previously reported that Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame running back Bennett had steadily moved up the coaching ladder in Green Bay since 2001. He went from director of player development to running backs coach, then to receivers coach, and finally Mike McCarthy promoted him to offensive coordinator in 2015.
