Alumni update, offseason edition
Now that the NFL regular season and college football season are over, the job changes involving former Packers players and coaches are coming fast and furious.
In the pros:
-- Jim Bates, who was the Packers' defensive coordinator in 2005, agreed to resign as the Denver Broncos' defensive coordinator, according to ESPN.com's John Clayton and other reports. The Broncos couldn't learn his defensive scheme, which had worked with the Packers and the Miami Dolphins.
-- Hardy Nickerson, who wrapped up his NFL career with the Packers in 2002, has resigned as the Chicago Bears' linebackers coach after only one season, ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports. He was working in broadcasting before joining the Bears.
-- Jamal Jones, a wide receiver and kick returner who played in two games for the Packers in 2005, has signed a three-year reserve/future deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to the Phanatic Magazine, a Philly sports blog. Jones played for the New Orleans Saints in 2006 but was out of football this season.
On campus:
-- Seattle Seahawks receivers coach Nolan Cromwell will rejoin former Packers coach Mike Sherman at Texas A&M. Cromwell will be the Aggies' offensive coordinator. He was the Packers' special teams coach from 1992 to 1997 and their receivers coach in 1998.
-- Stan Drayton, who was an offensive quality-control assistant for the Packers from 2001 to 2003, has been hired as running backs coach at the University of Tennessee, according to the Palm Beach Post and other reports. He'd been running backs coach at Florida since leaving the Packers.
