How about Kevin Greene as the Cardinal DC. We would have to wait for the Packers to be out of the playoffs just like we do on Bulter with the Steelers. He doesn't have as much experience but it would be a promotion and he certainly has the passion.
Here is part of the bio on Kevin Greene on the Packer web site:
• Joined Packers Feb. 3, 2009.
• Tutored two rookies in ‘09, Clay Matthews (10 sacks) and Brad Jones (four sacks), as they became the first rookie tandem in franchise annals to each record four-plus sacks in the same season.
• Finished a 15-year playing career (1985-99) ranked third all-time in sacks and first among linebackers with 160.
• Was a five-time Pro Bowler (1989, ’94, ’95, ’96, ’98) and two-time first-team All-Pro selection (’94, ’96), leading the league in sacks both of those years.
• Played for current Green Bay defensive coordinator Dom Capers with two teams, Pittsburgh and Carolina.
• Served as a captain in a 16-year career in the Army Reserve.
Kevin Greene enters his second season with the Packers in 2010 as outside linebackers coach, his first full-time NFL coaching job after 15 years as a standout player.
Named to his position by Head Coach Mike McCarthy on Feb. 3, 2009, Greene brings a wealth of experience at the outside linebacker spot and played a key role in teaching that position in the Packers’ new 3-4 defensive scheme last season.
In his first season as a coach, Greene was part of a staff that guided the Packers defense to a No. 2 overall ranking in the league, the highest ranking since the ’96 team finished as the No. 1 defense. Green Bay’s defense led the NFL in rushing for the first time in franchise annals, and the average of 83.3 yards rushing per game set a team record for any season.
Under Greene’s guidance, rookie ROLB Clay Matthews registered 10 sacks, the most by a Packers rookie since the statistic became official in 1982. Matthews was selected to the Pro Bowl, the first Green Bay rookie to earn that honor since WR James Lofton in 1978, and also led all NFL rookies with three forced fumbles.
Since his playing career ended, Greene has worked in real estate and as a summer NFL coaching intern with five different clubs, including one in 2006 with Miami, where Capers was the Dolphins’ defensive coordinator. His most recent coaching internship was in 2008 with the eventual Super Bowl champion Steelers.
