And he did end up back in the NFL coaching for another year or two a few years later.On January 17, 2014, it was announced that he would be stepping away from coaching "in order to spend more time with (his) wife, Tara, and (his) children, Gavin and Gabrielle". He hoped to return to coaching after his children went to college.
In retrospect, it really did seem odd (him stepping away). Not that it hasn't happened with other players and coaches but he was riding pretty high at the time.NCF wrote: ↑22 Dec 2020 10:31And he did end up back in the NFL coaching for another year or two a few years later.On January 17, 2014, it was announced that he would be stepping away from coaching "in order to spend more time with (his) wife, Tara, and (his) children, Gavin and Gabrielle".

I just remember thinking, at the time, I wonder if this is, in any way, tied to his health. The timing was so bizarre, it seemed. I wonder if he knew his time was short. Regardless, still terribly sad.
In retrospect I wonder if it had to do with the powers that be, not interested in listening to anybody coming in with new, different, or novel ideas.lulu wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020 12:19In retrospect, it really did seem odd (him stepping away).

doubtful, he played for Capers, and Capers brought him here, why does this have to become a conspiracy theory, he quit to be with family, and wanted to be more available for them, that he decided to go back to coaching a obvious passion a few years later shouldn't surprise anyone, people change there minds often.Cdragon wrote: ↑24 Dec 2020 07:04In retrospect I wonder if it had to do with the powers that be, not interested in listening to anybody coming in with new, different, or novel ideas.lulu wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020 12:19In retrospect, it really did seem odd (him stepping away).

Denver made an offer to CMIII when Von Miller got injured, but he wanted more than they offered. I wondered if he'd join GB for a playoff run - but again- the cash seems to be a factor and the Packers haven't got much.TheSkeptic wrote: ↑24 Dec 2020 06:16I was just wondering about his student, CMIII and see that he is a free agent. That surprised me. I would have thought that either someone would pay him or he would retire
great post +++++BSA wrote: ↑24 Dec 2020 13:06There's A Football Life special about Kevin Greene and in it he touches on why he stepped away- it was to spend time with his kids before they left for college. The Packers wanted to groom Greene to replace Capers- but that would have required an even greater time commitment from Kevin and he couldn't do that at the expense of being a Dad for his kids.
Kevin did everything at 1000 miles an hour and his family had already sacrificed so much for football- that he wanted to be with them and be there for them. In the video Greene talks about his son asking him to show him what he taught Clay today and Kevin told his son, "no- maybe tomorrow" and kinda blew him off. Then the next day he realized he had blown off his own son and decided that was unacceptable. So he made the change.
No conspiracy, no indictment of the Packers - just real life for a real man.
thank-you
