Alumni update: Craig Newsome
A decade after he played on the team that won Super Bowl XXXI, former Packers cornerback Craig Newsome is looking for another chance in football. This time, however, as a coach.
Newsome, 36, who lives in Holmen, near La Crosse, told the Onalaska Life newspaper that he's had some offers and may take a college coaching job next year.
Until then, Newsome is doing a little informal coaching by speaking at schools.
His advice for fifth-graders at Irving Pertzsch Elementary School in Onalaska: "Work hard, stay focused and stay out of trouble." He also said success depends on setting high goals and making wise choices.
In 2000, Newsome coached the La Crosse River Rats of the Indoor Football League. The team and the league folded after that season.
