Alumni update: NFL coaches' corner

More NFL coaching moves involving familiar names:

Greg Blache, 58, who was the Packers' defensive line coach under coaches Lindy Infante and Mike Holmgren from 1988 to 1993, has been named the Washington Redskins' defensive coordinator, according to the Washington Post.

He'd been Washington's defensive line coach for the last four seasons.

Blache is known for his intensity, and this is one of our favorite pictures from his time with the Packers.


Blache buries his face in the grass after Tampa Bay’s Willie Drewrey turned a deflected pass into an 87-yard touchdown during the fourth quarter of the Packers’ 15-13 victory over the Buccaneers at Lambeau Field on Sept. 15, 1991. Love the way quarterback Don Majkowski is looking at him.

As expected, former Packers quarterback Jim Zorn was hired as Washington's offensive coordinator, according to the Washington Post. He plans to run the West Coast offense, he told the Post.

John Bonamego, who was the Packers' special teams coach under Sherman from 2003 to 2005, has been hired for the same job with the Miami Dolphins, according to The Sun-Sentinel of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Bonamego, 44, leaves the New Orleans Saints to go to Miami. He worked with new Dolphins coach Tony Sparano when both were with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
