TED THOMPSONEXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, GENERAL MANAGER &DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALL OPERATIONSFRONT OFFICETed Thompson firmly believesthat the best way to builda successful team is throughthe draft, with free agencyplaying a complementary role in adding the types of playersto a roster that may otherwise be difficult to find.Now five-plus years into Thompson’s tenure as ExecutiveVice President, General Manager and Director of FootballOperations, the current Green Bay Packers directlyreflect that philosophy.In 2009, the Packers not only went 11-5 and qualifiedfor the playoffs for the second time under Thompson, butthey also featured four Pro Bowl selections.Three of those Pro Bowlers – QB Aaron Rodgers, SNick Collins and LB Clay Matthews – were draft picks ofThompson’s, with Rodgers and Collins being his first twoselections upon becoming Green Bay’s GM in 2005.Meanwhile, the fourth was CB Charles Woodson,Thompson’s most notable free-agent signing who also wonNFL Defensive Player of the Year honors last season, hisfourth year in Green Bay after joining the Packers in 2006when many other NFL GMs thought he was past his prime.The list of standout performers brought in by Thompsondoesn’t stop there, either. WR Greg Jennings and TEJermichael Finley are draft choices who have played at ornear a Pro Bowl level at times, while NT Ryan Pickett, wholike Woodson was a free-agent acquisition in 2006, anchoredthe league’s top-rated run defense a year ago.That’s how Thompson has built, and will continue tobuild, the Packers as they strive to bring another championshipto Green Bay. The draft is responsible for the coreof the team, and free agency, though used selectively, canbe employed to address specific needs.But the makeup of the current team shows that everystep of player acquisition is made by Thompson with thebig picture and the long term in mind, and the approach isintended to keep the Packers in the hunt for that championshipon an annual basis.Since taking over as GM in 2005, Thompson hasfocused on rebuilding and improving the bulk of theroster, mostly through the draft.In his first four drafts from 2005-08, Thompson utilized14 trades, all but one of them down, to turn 31 picks into43 selections, plus an extra choice in 2009. Heading intoorganized team activities (OTAs) in mid-May, 23 of thosedraft choices were on the Packers’ 80-man offseason rosterthat will form part of the foundation for the 2010 team.In the last two drafts, however, Thompson’s tradeshave gone in the other direction as the improved rostercore has allowed him to focus less on the overall quantityof picks. In 2009 and 2010, Thompson has traded up forspecific players he had targeted in certain rounds.Last year, after selecting Boston College NT B.J. Rajiwith the No. 9 overall selection in the first round, Thompsontraded a second-round pick and two third-round selections– Nos. 41, 73 and 83 overall – to New Englandto get another crack at a first-round talent. He moved up15 spots to No. 26 overall and nabbed Matthews out ofUSC, while also receiving a fifth-round pick in return fromthe Patriots.Just like that, not only did Thompson give the Packerstwo first-round draft choices for the first time in 16 years, headded highly touted prospects at the two linchpin positionsin the 3-4 – a middle anchor and outside pass rusher.In addition to Matthews earning a Pro Bowl bid, bothTed Thompson at a glance...►►Awarded ‘George Young NFL Executive of the Year’ bySporting News in a vote of his peers in March 2008.►►During the 2007 NFC Championship, 32 of the 45 activeplayers on gameday had been acquired by Thompson in hisfirst three years here.►►Named to his position Jan. 14, 2005, his second stint withthe organization.

That brought Thompson’s total of draftees,during his time in both Green Bay and Seattle (2000-04), tohave earned All-Pro, Pro Bowl or All-Rookie honors to 15.The hope is that the 2010 class can add to that numberas well. With the selection of Iowa OT Bryan Bulaga inthe first round at No. 23 overall, the Packers hope to havefound an heir apparent to Chad Clifton at the all-importantleft tackle position.Thompson also traded up in the third round, surrenderinga fourth-round choice to Philadelphia to move up15 spots to No. 71 overall and take S Morgan Burnett ofGeorgia Tech, who could compete for a starting spot as arookie alongside Pro Bowler Collins.Thompson followed in the footsteps of his mentor, RonWolf, in becoming Green Bay’s GM, and in 2008 he joinedWolf in becoming only the second person in the history ofthe organization to be recognized as the best in his field.Honored in March 2008 in a vote of his peers as the‘George Young NFL Executive of the Year’ by SportingNews, Thompson left an undeniable stamp on the Packers’successful 2007 season. In just his third campaign as GM,he assembled a roster that was the youngest yet one ofthe most talented in the NFL, and the Packers went 13-3,won the NFC North Division title, and advanced to the NFCChampionship Game for the first time in a decade.“I’m honored to receive this award on behalf of theGreen Bay Packers,” the humble Thompson said. “We viewthis as a team honor and feel the coaches, players and staffshould all be very proud of the job they’ve done in helpingthis franchise succeed.”A glance at the roster for the 2007 NFC Championshipindicates a team truly built by Thompson.

FIELD HISTORY 2009 REVIEW FREE AGENTSon the full roster that day were acquired by Thompson viathe draft, free agency, trades or the waiver wire in his firstthree years here.One of the biggest additions to the playoff-bound teamcame from a key trade. Thompson acquired RB Ryan Grantfrom the New York Giants at the end of training camp fora sixth-round draft choice, adding the former Notre Damestandout to a crowded but banged-up backfield.Grant eventually took over as the feature back midwaythrough the season and proceeded to rush for nearly 1,000yards, adding 201 yards and three TDs in the NFC Divisionalplayoff victory over Seattle, both Green Bay postseasonrecords. He has since added back-to-back 1,200-yardseasons.The prestigious award acknowledged Thompson for hisdiligence and success as the team came within an overtimefield goal of advancing to the Super Bowl. But it alsoserved as recognition for Thompson’s overall body of worksince taking his current position in 2005.Surprising many with the hiring of Mike McCarthy asHead Coach in January 2006, Thompson embarked onturning around a 4-12 team beset by injuries and salarycapconcerns in his first season. The improvement to an8-8 mark in 2006, followed by the playoff run in 2007, nettedMcCarthy the ‘Motorola NFL Coach of the Year’ awardand placed both Thompson and his chief hire at the top oftheir professions.Thompson’s career as a football executive came fullcircle on Jan. 14, 2005. That day, former Green Bay PackersCEO Bob Harlan gave him full authority over all aspectsof football operations for the storied franchise.In becoming the 10th general manager in club history,Thompson rejoined the team with which he received hisstart under Wolf in 1992. After working for the legendarygeneral manager through the 1999 season, Thompsonspent five years as vice president of football operations forthe Seattle Seahawks.Packers General ManagersCurly Lambeau ............................. 1919-49Gene Ronzani .............................. 1950-53Verne Lewellen ............................. 1954-58Vince Lombardi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1959-68Phil Bengtson .............................. 1969-70Dan Devine ................................ 1971-74Bart Starr ................................. 1975-80Tom Braatz* ............................... 1987-91Ron Wolf . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1992-2000Mike Sherman . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2001-04Ted Thompson ......................... 2005-present*—Executive Vice President/Football Operations“It’s almost a dream come true-type job,” Thompsonsaid. “You think about, when you’re a young kid, some ofthe things you’d like to do when you grow up and you thinkmaybe manager of the New York Yankees or maybe thegeneral manager of the Green Bay Packers. So it’s a thrill,it’s an honor.”For Harlan, the selection of Thompson to lead GreenBay’s football fortunes was an easy choice, and Thompsonhas validated that confidence in his selection by successfullyremaking the roster into one he and the organizationbelieve is built for long-term success.“I feel Ted is a perfect fit for the Packers,” Harlan said,introducing Thompson in 2005. “He is a respected NationalFootball League veteran who is a proven talent evaluatorand an efficient administrator. He knows the people in ourpersonnel department and he is familiar with how we runour football operation. He embraces the Packers’ championshiptradition, and he was very anxious to have theopportunity to return to Green Bay.”Now in his 29th NFL season, including 10 years as aplayer, Thompson knows and respects the position thePackers hold in the hearts of the fans, and around theleague.“The history and tradition of this place is unrivaled inprofessional sports,” Thompson said. “I understand thepassion the people here have for their team. Ron (Wolf)told me this is the best job in the National Football League.I never forgot that.”The 57-year-old Thompson not only joined an organizationwith which he was familiar, but also oversees arespected staff that includes Reggie McKenzie, who holdsthe title of director–football operations, and John Dorsey,director of college scouting, each of whom worked underThompson during his first tenure in Green Bay.Almost immediately upon taking over, Thompson madea crucial choice for the long-term benefit of the club. Inthe 2005 NFL Draft, Rodgers had been projected as highas the No. 1 overall pick, but he wasn’t taken there andended up sliding all the way down to the Packers at No.24. One year later, Thompson handed Rodgers to an accomplishedquarterback mentor in McCarthy to mold himinto the team’s signal caller of the future.Over the last two years, following the retirement andsubsequent trade of Brett Favre, Rodgers became the firstquarterback in league history to eclipse 4,000 yards passingin each of his first two seasons as a starter.Although Thompson prefers to shift the spotlight inanother direction, his fingerprints were all over the Seahawks’road to Super Bowl XL during the 2005 season.NFL MVP Shaun Alexander, Thompson’s first draft pickin Seattle, in 2000, captured the 2005 league rushing titleand established a then-NFL single-season record with 28touchdowns. Nine of Seattle’sSuper Bowl starters,as well as K Josh Brown,were drafted by Thompson.That list includes G SteveHutchinson, a Pro Bowlerin eight of his nine NFL seasons.Seattle could’ve gonein another direction in the2000 draft. With perennial1,000-yard rusher RickyWatters on the roster, theclub didn’t need a runningback in the first round. Butwith the Seahawks on theclock holding the 19th overallchoice, Alexander was thebest player available. Oneyear later, in the 2001 draft,Thompson wanted Hutchinsonin a similar situation.18

FRONT OFFICE“You have to do what you think is best for the organization,”Thompson said before the 2006 draft, when hechose LB A.J. Hawk with the fifth overall selection. “A draftis an investment in a player that’s going to be here for anumber of years.”Thompson’s philosophy on building a successful teamrelies heavily on drafted players as a foundation. In today’sNFL, teams can’t win consistently with free agency as theirprimary tool. And in building through the draft, the Packersplace a premium on character.But despite how much value he places on the draft,Thompson also will use the free-agent market as anothertool to build the roster. In Green Bay, he has brought inplayers like Woodson, Pickett and LB Brandon Chillar,among others, to either take over starting jobs or providevaluable, experienced depth at their positions.“I think free agency is a very interesting tool to useto help you patch some holes and do some things,” saidThompson, who signed five unrestricted free agents in2006, the Packers’ most since 1998. “There’s no reluctanceon our part. We do try to make certain that whatwe do is not just fantasy football. We’re investing in aplayer that’s got to come in and play a particular role. If wedon’t think that player can perform to that contract, then itdoesn’t make sense for us to do it just to say, ‘Look whatwe’ve spent.’”In Green Bay annals, Thompson is only the fourth generalmanager to serve exclusively from the front office,joining Verne Lewellen (1954-58), Vince Lombardi (1968)and Wolf (1992-2001).The low-profile Thompson has a proven track record asan evaluator. Overseeing Seattle’s draft board from 2000through ’04, Thompson provided the Seahawks a solidfoundation which they used to make three straight playoffappearances (2003-05). His 2003 draft saw Thompsonland three players – Brown, CB Marcus Trufant and S KenHamlin – who not only made immediate front-line contributionsas rookies, but who also became cornerstone playersfor years to come.Just one year later, those three were instrumental inSeattle’s 2004 NFC West championship. In the Seahawks’playoff game that year, 11 of 22 starters were acquiredthrough Thompson’s drafts.In his first two Green Bay drafts, Thompson selectedCollins in 2005 and Hawk, Jennings and G Daryn Colledgein 2006. All four were named to the PFW All-Rookie Team.In 2007, he also drafted K Mason Crosby, whose 397points are the most by a player in NFL history in his firstthree seasons.Prior to 2009, Thompson selected 43 players in his firstfour drafts as GM, signaling the rebuilding of the rostercore that had seen only 27 draft picks in the four years(2001-04) before Thompson returned to Green Bay.As a result, offseason competition for positions onGreen Bay’s 53-man roster hasbeen fierce since Thompson tookover, and should only becomemore intense in training camp in2010. The goal is to improve theteam’s play through competition,just as it was when Bum Phillipsannually brought in younger talentto try to take Thompson’s jobduring the former linebacker’s 10-year playing career with the HoustonOilers.A former Oilers teammate,Mike Reinfeldt, helped to launchThompson’s second football career.In 1992, Reinfeldt, then thePackers’ vice president of administration,recommended thatWolf take a look at Thompson asa potential pro scout for his staff.Wolf subsequently brought Thompson in to audition asa personnel evaluator, and Thompson always has felt helearned a lot from Wolf.“He taught me passion, he taught me work ethic, hetaught me believing in yourself, to have confidence, towrite down what you see, not what other people see, andto trust yourself.”During his first tenure in Green Bay, Thompson wasinstrumental in providing talent that produced an 83-45record, six straight playoff berths, two Super Bowl appearancesand the 1996 world championship. With his help,the team acquired free agents Reggie White, Sean Jones,Don Beebe, Santana Dotson and Desmond Howard.Through the draft, Green Bay added Darren Sharper,Vonnie Holliday and Donald Driver, one of the franchise’slowest-drafted Pro Bowlers.A possessor of strong football credentials and keenknowledge of the game gleaned from his decade-longplaying career, Thompson credits Wolf with deepeninghis understanding of the scouting process and cites hisexperience in Seattle working with Mike Holmgren as veryvaluable in terms of his growth as a football person, runningan organization and making decisions that affect theteam in the present and in the future.A versatile linebacker during his 10-year NFL playingcareer with the Oilers (1975-84), Thompson also was oneof the most durable players in team annals, missing justone of 147 contests due to injury. He started eight gamesover the course of his career and also played in seven postseasoncontests (1978-80), with the Oilers going 4-3 inthose games, losing the AFC Championship to the Steelersin both 1978 and ’79. He originally was signed by Phillipsas a non-drafted free agent.Thompson’s Oilers teammates included Pro FootballHall of Famers Earl Campbell, Mike Munchak, Elvin Bethea,Warren Moon and Bruce Matthews, current Packer Clay’suncle. He also served as a reserve kicker and converted allfour PATs he attempted in an emergency situation vs. theNew York Jets in a 1981 contest.Collegiately, Thompson was a three-year starter (1972-74) at linebacker and team captain (’74) for SMU. As asophomore, he played under head coach Hayden Fry, andPhillips, his eventual pro coach, was defensive coordinator.He also served as the team’s placekicker as a senior.Following his football career, in the spring of ’75, he letteredas an outfielder for the Mustangs’ baseball team. Hegained Academic All-Southwest Conference honors andgraduated with a bachelor’s degree in business administration.Born Jan. 17, 1953, in Atlanta, Texas, Thompson wasan all-region player at the city’s high school, lining up atrunning back, linebacker and placekicker. He also letteredin basketball, baseball, track and golf.

Away from work,he coaches youth hockey and baseball, and also enjoysreading and playing golf, hockey and racquetball, as wellas spending time with his family.The names gracing the east and west facades, one of the more awe-inspiring features of Lambeau Field’s bowl, are often misidentifiedas the Green Bay “Ring of Fame” or “Ring of Honor.”It’s an honest mistake. Most franchises induct former players, coaches and contributors into an exclusive club, usually called a Ringof Honor and containing on average 15-20 individuals. In Green Bay, though, the equivalent to that group is the Packers Hall of Fame,which this summer inducted three more members (Mark Chmura, Marv Fleming and Greg Koch).Actually, the 21 names at Lambeau Field list the franchise’s Pro Football Hall of Famers. The names are in no particular order.In spring 2003, the Packers added James Lofton’s name to the far right of the west side, which also displays (left to right) ForrestGregg, Mike Michalske, Willie Wood, Jim Ringo, Herb Adderley, Clarke Hinkle and Robert (Cal) Hubbard.

(Curly) Lambeau, Johnny (Blood) McNally, Arnie Herber, Vince Lombardi, WillieDavis, Ray Nitschke, Bart Starr, Jim Taylor and Paul Hornung. In 2006, the team unveiled its 21st legendary name, Reggie White.And unlike most other stadiums that display names on their facade, most of the Packers’ individuals (13) actually played/coachedon the field in front of them.The bowl also lists the years of the Packers’ NFL-record 12 world championships and, since 2003, the team’s five retired numbers.Plus, in 2006, the Packers honored the architect of the Super Bowl XXXI champions, former Executive Vice President & GeneralManager Ron Wolf, adding the retired executive’s name to the northeast corner.24

COACHING STAFF / MIKE McCARTHYMIKE McCARTHYHEAD COACH18th NFL SeasonSixth Packers SeasonFifth as Head CoachVETERANS COACHES COMMUNITYLAMBEAU RECORDS &DRAFT &MISC. FIELD HISTORY 2009 REVIEW FREE AGENTSUpon becoming Head Coachof the Green Bay Packers in2006, Mike McCarthy wasknown in NFL circles for his innovativeoffensive mind and his ability to develop youngquarterbacks.Four seasons into his tenure in Green Bay, that reputationhas become firmly entrenched, if not enhanced, by thePackers’ offensive prowess before and during the transitionto Aaron Rodgers as the team’s starting quarterback.McCarthy’s four Packers teams all have ranked in theNFL’s top 10 in total yardage – coming in at ninth in 2006,second in ’07, eighth in ’08 and sixth in ’09 – one of onlytwo teams along with New Orleans to finish in the top 10each of the last four years. In his first two seasons, McCarthysimultaneously oversaw a mini-renaissance to futureHall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre’s career and the developmentof Rodgers as his backup, and since then, thereins have been turned over to Rodgers.The former Cal standout hasn’t disappointed his primarytutor or his team, becoming the first quarterback inNFL history to throw for more than 4,000 yards in each ofhis first two seasons as a starter. The Packers also havebecome the first team in league history to produce a 4,000-yard passer, two 1,000-yard receivers (Greg Jennings,Donald Driver), and a 1,200-yard rusher (Ryan Grant) intwo consecutive years.The 2009 unit was particularly prolific, compiling afranchise-record 461 points and gaining 6,065 total netyards, the No. 3 mark in team history. The ’09 offense alsoled the league in average time of possession (33:03) andin fewest turnovers (16), both franchise bests. All the offensivefirepower, combined with a revamped defense, gotthe Packers back into the playoffs last season, McCarthy’ssecond postseason appearance in three years.MAJOR CHANGEMcCarthy embarked upon the first major alterations tohis coaching staff since his arrival, hiring Dom Capers tobe his new defensive coordinator and change the unit froma 4-3 base alignment to the 3-4 scheme that has been thestaple of Capers’ career.The results were incredibly impactful. The defense improvedfrom 20th in total yards allowed in ’08 to second in’09, and from 26th in run defense to the top spot, becomingthe first Green Bay defense to lead the league againstthe run and setting a franchise record by allowing just 83.3yards rushing per contest. The defense also led the leaguein interceptions (30) and total takeaways (40).The ’09 season was not a smooth road back to playoffcontention, however. Back-to-back losses in early Novemberto division rival Minnesota and previously winlessTampa Bay dropped the Packers to 4-4, and a promisingseason suddenly appeared in doubt.But McCarthy kept building on the identity that wasforming – a team that could attack with multiple threatsoffensively, stop the run defensively and win the turnoverbattle – and led the Packers out of the adverse stretch tothree straight victories in 12 days, culminating on Thanksgivingat Detroit. The winning streak was stretched to fivegames and included home triumphs over eventual playoffteams Dallas and Baltimore.The team also overcame considerable adversity, in theform of season-ending injuries to defensive starters AlHarris and Aaron Kampman, to ultimately go 7-1 over thesecond half of the schedule.

Head Coachhis first Pro Bowl berth, nearly breaking the franchise’ssingle-season record for passing yards, and veteran cornerbackCharles Woodson was named the NFL DefensivePlayer of the Year.Unfortunately, the late-season surge ended abruptlywith a sudden-death overtime loss at Arizona in the NFCWild Card game. But without question, McCarthy has gottenthe Packers back on track toward the goal that hasn’tchanged since the day he was hired, and that’s to bring aworld championship back to Green Bay.ON THE BRINKMcCarthy brought the Packers to the brink of accomplishingthat goal in just two years. Coming off an 8-8rookie season that ended with a momentum-building, fourgamewinning streak, McCarthy led the Packers to a 13-3mark in 2007 that was groundbreaking in many respects.The Packers tied the franchise record for victories in theregular season and won the club’s first NFC North Divisiontitle since 2004. They also captured an NFC playoff byeand advanced to the conference championship game forthe first time in a decade. It all earned McCarthy 2007 ‘NFLCoach of the Year’ awards from Motorola and NFL Alumnias well as a new five-year contract that runs through 2012.28

McCarthy also was runner-up in The Associated Presscoach of the year voting.The championship he had set as the goal was withinreach, as the Packers hosted the New York Giants in theNFC title game on a frigid January day at Lambeau Field.The hard-fought, 23-20 overtime defeat was an opportunitymissed, but one McCarthy vowed his team wouldlearn from.Leading the youngest team in the NFL in each of hisfirst four seasons, McCarthy proved in 2007 that youthwas no obstacle to success. Part of the team’s 10-1 startincluded late-fourth-quarter or overtime scores to defeattwo playoff participants from the previous year (Philadelphia,San Diego) and to win back-to-back AFC West roadgames (Denver, Kansas City) within a six-day span.On its way to 13-3, Green Bay secured the team’s firstplayoff bye since 1997, and McCarthy tied Mike Shermanfor the most wins by a Green Bay coach in his first twoseasons with 21.Behind Favre’s superb final year in Green Bay and theemergence of Grant as the feature back, the Packers withMcCarthy as the play-caller finished with the league’s second-rankedoffense, their highest ranking since 1983. Theyalso compiled season totals in points (435) and net yards(5,931) that rank fourth on the franchise’s all-time list.The postseason began in startling fashion, with Grantfumbling twice in the first minute of the game, setting uptwo Seattle scores for a 14-0 Seahawks lead in the NFCDivisional playoff. But, drawing on a steadfastness thatserved the team well during some rough spots the previousyear, McCarthy and the Packers never panicked andrallied for a dominant 42-20 victory in the snowy ‘winterwonderland’ of Lambeau.In advancing to the NFC Championship Game, McCarthybecame the first Packers coach since Vince Lombardi to leadthe team to a title game in his second season at the helm.Though the quest for that championship came up short,McCarthy had returned the Packers to playoff prominence justtwo years after the 4-12 season that preceded his arrival.29A LEADER OF QUARTERBACKSThe Packers quarterbacks coach in 1999, McCarthyspent his first two years renewing his relationship withFavre, and the reunion helped rejuvenate the future Hallof Famer’s play.Charged with learning McCarthy’s version of the WestCoast offense and given more latitude in making decisionsat the line of scrimmage, Favre concluded his brilliantGreen Bay career with a 95.7 passer rating in 2007, hisbest in 11 years and fourth best in his career, while completinga (then) career-high 66.5 percent of his passes.Buying into McCarthy’s aggressive but controlled approach,Favre’s interceptions dropped from 29 in 2005 to18 in 2006 to 15 in 2007. He finished second in the votingfor what then would have been an unprecedented fourthNFL MVP award, and he subsequently passed the torch toRodgers, his understudy for his final three years in GreenBay and McCarthy’s prime pupil for the last two.Rodgers has continued the trend of keeping turnoversto a minimum, as in 2008 the Packers tied the 1995 teamfor the third fewest in club history with just 21, and the ’09team set the new franchise mark with just 16. Rodgersalso twice has topped 4,000 yards passing, which in ’08,combined with Favre’s total in ’07, marked the first time inleague history a team had two different quarterbacks throwfor 4,000 yards in consecutive years.The past three years have marked the first time in franchisehistory the Packers have had a 4,000-yard passerthree straight seasons. In fact, four of the nine times in teamhistory the Packers have had a 4,000-yard passer (1999,2007-09), McCarthy has been on the coaching staff.The team also has finished in the top five in the leaguein scoring three consecutive years, and the Packers arenow 23-2 in McCarthy’s four seasons (24-3 including playoffs)when scoring at least 30 points.SOLID FIRST YEARBlending a mix of young players with seasoned veteransat key positions, McCarthy fostered a strong teamTOP 10 AGAINFor the fourth consecutive season under McCarthy, the offensive play-caller, the Green Bay offense ranked in the NFL’s top 10.New Orleans, which enlists head coach Sean Payton as its offensive play-caller, is the only other club to finish in the top 10 in overalloffense each of the last four seasons.In 2009...Averaging over 379 yards per game, the highest total in McCarthy’sfour seasons, the Packers’ offense finished the year No. 6.u Green Bay scored 461 points, marking a new franchise record.u For the third time in franchise history, the club surpassed 6,000total net yards, finishing No. 3 in team annals with 6,065.u Green Bay became the first team in NFL history to have a 4,000-yard passer, 1,200-yard rusher and two 1,000-yard receivers inback-to-back seasons.u The Packers established another franchise record with just 16giveaways, fewest in the NFL.u QB Aaron Rodgers threw for 4,434 yards, finishing just shy ofLynn Dickey’s team record (4,458, 1983).

downs and allowed for a better situational pass rush, andthe defense climbed to 12th overall by season’s end.The strong defensive play and Favre’s veteran leadershipfueled a season-ending, four-game winning streak,the final three wins coming over NFC North opponents. A26-7 win at Chicago in the season finale over the eventualNFC champion Bears put the Packers at 5-1 in the divisionand barely out of the playoffs, losing a tiebreaker with theGiants, who also finished 8-8.That impressive early showing within the division wasa sign of things to come for McCarthy, who is now 17-7in four seasons against NFC North foes, which is tied forthe best division record among NFC teams over that span(Arizona is also 17-7). McCarthy’s mark includes a 13-3record against Minnesota and Detroit, two teams that alsohired new coaches in 2006.THE RIGHT FITWith a personality to match his blue-collar hometown,McCarthy landed his first NFL head-coaching job in hiskind of place.A Pittsburgh native, Mc-Carthy was named the 14thHead Coach of the GreenBay Packers on Jan. 12,2006, the only step left totake after 13 years as anNFL assistant.But while he previouslyhad traveled through NFLcities such as Kansas City,New Orleans and San Francisco,it may be Green Baythat most resembles hisnative Pittsburgh. And ifthere was one word usedto describe McCarthy’s hiringin his first days with thePackers, it was that he wasthe right “fit”, both for atown and a team looking toturn around a disappointing4-12 season in 2005.The way McCarthy fitsGreen Bay, however, goes beyond the toughness in hispersonality, down-to-earth demeanor, and pride in hisupbringing.He not only spent one of those 13 previous years in theNFL with Green Bay, but he took over the Packers already wellversed in the West Coast offense with a reputation for developingoffensive talent, particularly at the quarterback position.McCarthy is known for taking a hands-on teaching approachwith young players and has been well respectedaround the league, in part because he had called plays forsix seasons as an offensive coordinator before becominga head coach. Plus, he has tutored an impressive roster ofNFL quarterbacks.While two of the biggest names he has worked with,Favre in Green Bay and Joe Montana in Kansas City, wereat or beyond their peak years at the time, McCarthy hasplayed at least a part in the development of signal callersAaron Brooks, Jake Delhomme, Matt Hasselbeck, MarcBulger, Rich Gannon and Elvis Grbac.The entire stable of quarterbacks that McCarthy hasworked with, which also includes Jeff Blake, Steve Bono, andDave Krieg, has combined for 36 career Pro Bowl selections,nine Super Bowl starts, and six Most Valuable Player awards.McCarthy’s newest protégé to rise to a starting role isRodgers, who was drafted in the first round in 2005. GeneralManager Ted Thompson heavily weighed McCarthy’s trackrecord with quarterbacks when he hired him the followingyear, knowing that since the post-Favre era was inevitable,the right tutelage at the game’s most important positionwould be key to a smooth and successful transition.COACHING STAFF / MIKE McCARTHYPAYING HIS DUESMuch like those players he worked with who rose toprominence, McCarthy paid plenty of dues along the wayto his first head-coaching job.He learned a disciplined and no-nonsense approach tolife at an early age. His father, Joe, was a longtime firefighterand police officer who also owned a bar near aPittsburgh steel mill. McCarthy worked odd jobs at the baras a teen. It was interacting with the hard-working tavernclientele while also watching a father in uniform dedicatedto public service that helped make McCarthy proud ofwhere he came from.After his playing career as a tight end at Baker University(Kan.) ended, his 23-year coaching career began as alinebackers coach at Fort Hays State (Kan.) in 1987. Hecracked the Division I ranks two years later as a volunteerassistant at the University of Pittsburgh.It was there he displayed the will and determination tomake it in the coaching profession, working for free on thefootball field by day and collecting tolls along the Pennsylvaniaturnpike during the graveyard shift to make endsmeet.He soon moved intoa paid position at Pitt assistingwith the quarterbacks,and then coachingthe wide receivers, beforePanthers head coach PaulHackett recommendedhim to the Kansas CityChiefs when they hiredHackett as offensive coordinatorin 1993. McCarthyjoined Hackett on theChiefs’ staff as a qualitycontrolassistant.McCarthy considersHackett the biggest influencein his coachingcareer, having learned theWest Coast offense fromhim and then installing ithimself as offensive coordinatorin New Orleans.It was under Hackett’s wing that McCarthy developedthe attention to detail, scouting and game-planning skillsthat would help him move up the NFL ranks.OPPORTUNITY KNOCKSThe third-youngest head coach in the NFL when he washired at age 42 (the Saints’ Sean Payton was seven weeksyounger and the Jets’ Eric Mangini was 35), McCarthy tookover a team coming off its first losing season since 1991,before Favre arrived as quarterback.Thompson made it clear when he hired McCarthy hewasn’t looking for just an X’s and O’s guy. He was lookingfor someone who would impress him with a variety ofqualities, including leadership ability, toughness, footballknowledge, and an awareness of the Green Bay organizationand the team’s unique place within the NFL and thelocal community.McCarthy, who had interviewed for the ClevelandBrowns head coaching job five years earlier but admits hewasn’t necessarily ready then, fit the bill. In his introductorynews conference, he spoke of how taking over thePackers was like buying his “dream house,” with the foundation,tradition and resources to help him make the teama championship contender once again.McCarthy emphasized he didn’t feel the Packers werein a rebuilding mode at all, but there was work to be doneright away.He wasted no time constructing the environment hewanted for his team, implementing free weights as thefoundation for the players’ strength and conditioning.DRAFT &COMMUNITY COACHES VETERANS FREE AGENTS2009 REVIEW HISTORYRECORDS &LAMBEAUFIELDMISC.31

FIELD HISTORY 2009 REVIEW FREE AGENTSHe also installed an offseason workout program, and athen-record attendance at those sessions spoke volumesabout the level of respect he quickly commanded as a headcoach.CAREER AS NFL ASSISTANTMcCarthy broke into the NFL as a quality-control assistantwith the Kansas City Chiefs in 1993. It was then heworked with Montana before moving up to quarterbackscoach from 1995-98, working with starters Gannon, Grbacand Bono. The trio’s total of 52 interceptions marked thelowest total in the AFC over that four-year span.After working with McCarthy from 1995-98, Gannonwent on to earn all four of his Pro Bowl selections, the2002 league MVP award and a start in Super Bowl XXXVIIwith the Raiders. Gannon credits McCarthy with helpinghim take the quarterback’s game to a higher level.“He’s the guy that really helped catapult my career,”Gannon said. “He was the guy who really taught me theWest Coast system of football. He really taught me how toprepare for a game, taught me how to watch film, how tobreak down an opponent, how to study. It was really thosethings I took with me to Oakland.“There was never a doubt in my mind he’d be a headcoach. He’s a great play-caller, great working with thequarterbacks. He’s a tough guy, a guy willingto do the work, and he’s a leader.”When Gannon left the Chiefs for Oaklandin 1999, McCarthy departed Kansas City tobecome Green Bay’s quarterbacks coach.That year, the Packers ranked seventh in theNFL in passing and ninth in total offense.Favre threw for 4,091 yards, then the thirdhighesttotal in his career.The following year, McCarthy began asuccessful five-year stint as the offensivecoordinator of the New Orleans Saints. Itbecame the most prolific offensive era tothat point in the team’s four decades, as theSaints set 10 offensive team records and 25individual marks.Among the more notable accomplishments,the Saints led the NFC with 432 pointsand 49 touchdowns in 2002, both team recordsat the time. In his first season in 2000,McCarthy was chosen NFC Assistant Coachof the Year by USA Today.That year the Saints produced their first 1,000-yard receiverin eight years in Joe Horn, and their first 1,000-yardrusher in 10 years in Ricky Williams. After that decadelongdrought of 1,000-yard rushers, the Saints had one (eitherWilliams or Deuce McAllister) in each of McCarthy’sfive seasons running the offense.In 2005, McCarthy served as offensive coordinator forthe San Francisco 49ers.COLLEGE COACHING& PLAYING CAREERMcCarthy began his six-year collegiate coaching careeras a graduate assistant at Fort Hays State in Hays, Kan.,in 1987, just after completing his playing career at nearbyBaker University in Baldwin City, Kan.At Baker, McCarthy earned a degree in business administrationand was an all-conference tight end and seniorcaptain in 1986, helping lead the Wildcats to an NAIA DivisionII national runner-up finish. He was inducted into theschool’s athletic hall of fame in October 2007.At Fort Hays under head coach John Vincent, McCarthycoached linebackers for two years while earning a master’sdegree in sports administration.The return to his hometown came in 1989 under Pittsburghhead coach Mike Gottfried, now an ESPN collegefootball analyst, followed by three years under Hackett withthe Panthers.As quarterbacks coach, McCarthy worked with Alex VanPelt as he topped the school’s career and single-seasonrecords for passing yards established by Dan Marino.PERSONALBorn Michael John McCarthy on Nov. 10, 1963, in Pittsburgh,he grew up one of five children in the Irish-Catholicfamily of father Joe and mother Ellen in Greenfield,a Pittsburgh neighborhood just a couple of miles fromdowntown.

COACHING STAFF / WINSTON MOSSWINSTON MOSSASSISTANT HEAD COACH / INSIDE LINEBACKERS12th NFL SeasonFifth Packers SeasonEntering his 23rd seasonin the NFL and fifth with thePackers, Winston Moss beginshis third year in the role of assistanthead coach with inside linebacker responsibilitiesfor the second season.Named to the current post by Head Coach Mike Mc-Carthy on Jan. 15, 2007, Moss impressed McCarthy withhis leadership skills when the two worked together for fiveseasons in New Orleans and again in 2006 in Green Bay.The 44-year-old Moss continues to coach the linebackersas well, his original duty upon joining the Packers. His positionresponsibility was modified to inside linebackers in‘09 with the switch to a 3-4 defense and the addition ofoutside linebackers coach Kevin Greene to the staff.Last season Moss was part of a staff that guided thePackers 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 led the NFL in rushing defense forthe first time in franchise history, and the average of 83.3rushing yards allowed per game set a team record for anyseason.Under Moss’ guidance, veteran Nick Barnett returnedfrom a serious knee injury to start all 16 games at ‘Mack’LB and lead the team in tackles with 122 in ’09, a franchise-recordfifth time in his career that he led the teamin tackles. Barnett also registered a career-high four sacksand led the linebackers with eight passes defensed.A.J. Hawk started 14 games at the other inside-linebackerspot, the ‘Buck’ position, and finished second onthe team to Barnett with 87 tackles. Hawk was one of only10 linebackers in the league to record at least 85 tackles,two interceptions and a sack in ’09, and was selected as aPro Bowl alternate.In 2008, with the addition of free-agent signee BrandonChillar and the continued development of DesmondBishop, Moss had his deepest linebacking corps in GreenBay to date, and it was needed when Barnett was lost forthe season to a torn ACL in Week 10.

COACHING STAFF / JOE PHILBINJOE PHILBINOFFENSIVE COORDINATOREighth NFL SeasonEighth Packers SeasonVETERANS COACHES COMMUNITYLAMBEAU RECORDS &DRAFT &MISC. FIELD HISTORY 2009 REVIEW FREE AGENTSIn his eighth year, both withthe Packers and in the NFL,Joe Philbin in 2010 begins hisfourth season as Green Bay’soffensive coordinator.Named to his current position by Head Coach Mike Mc-Carthy on Jan. 15, 2007, he continued a rapid ascent upthe professional coaching ladder. Philbin originally joinedthe Packers on Feb. 10, 2003, as assistant offensive linecoach, then spent 2004 and ’05 as tight ends/assistantoffensive line coach, and was promoted to offensive linecoach on Jan. 17, 2006.In his three seasons at the offensive helm, Philbin hasdirected both a productive and sound unit. The team’s1,315 points from 2007-09 are the most in franchise historyover a three-year period, while the 61 turnovers arethe fewest in a three-year span.League-wide, the offense has ranked in the top eight intotal yards and the top five in total points each year, theonly team in the NFL to accomplish that feat. The pointtotal is third in the league over that span, trailing only NewEngland (1,426) and New Orleans (1,352).Over the past two years, the Packers became the firstteam in league history to have a 4,000-yard passer (AaronRodgers), a 1,200-yard rusher (Ryan Grant) and two 1,000-yard receivers (Greg Jennings, Donald Driver) in backto-backseasons. The 2009 unit was particularly prolific,compiling a franchise-record 461 points and gaining 6,065total net yards, the No. 3 mark in team history. The ’09 offensealso led the league in time of possession (33:03) andin fewest turnovers (16), both franchise bests.In 2007, behind Brett Favre’s MVP-caliber season, theoffense ranked second in the NFL in total yards. That rankingwas Green Bay’s highest since 1983, while the 5,931net yards and 435 total points both rank fourth on the franchise’ssingle-season list. Favre’s 4,155 yards passing thatyear combined with Rodgers’ 4,038 yards in 2008 markedthe first time in league history a team had different 4,000-yard passers in consecutive years.While McCarthy generally calls the plays, for the 2008Pro Bowl he turned that duty over to Philbin, who directedthe NFC offense to six touchdowns in a 42-30 victory overthe AFC.Philbin’s move from offensive line coach to offensive coordinatorhelped maintain continuity with the young offensivelinemen and zone-blocking scheme. In 2006, Philbinoversaw a line that had three rookies – Daryn Colledge,Jason Spitz and Tony Moll – combine for 38 starts. Meldingthe new scheme with young, unproven talent, Philbinused his strengths as a teacher to develop a foundationup front. Despite injuries that led to five different startingcombinations, the Packers allowed only 24 sacks and improvedtheir run production by a half-yard per carry.In 2005, Philbin’s tight ends contributed to a passinggame hampered by injuries. Green Bay joined Tennesseeas one of only two NFL teams to have three tight endsrecord at least 25 receptions each, as Philbin effectivelyblended Donald Lee into the offense despite the tight end’slate-preseason arrival.Philbin’s group in 2004 contributed to an offense thatracked up more total yards (6,357) and passing yards(4,449) than any Packers team in the franchise’s previous 83NFL seasons. As proved in 2003, the line played an integralrole in the NFL’s third-ranked offense, including team marksfor first downs (354), completions (382) and fewest sacks(14). In 2003, Philbin’s teaching played a role in a rushingoffense that improved from 12th the year before to third in36Joe Philbin at a glance…►►Originally joined Packers Feb. 10, 2003, as assistant offensiveline coach; promoted to tight ends/assistant offensive line, Feb.27, 2004.

Withthe emergence of youngsters Jermichael Finley and SpencerHavner, along with another year of steady productionfrom veteran Donald Lee, Packers’ tight ends posted a collective99 receptions for 1,048 yards, franchise records inboth categories.That reception total ranked tied for third in the league in2009 (with San Francisco), behind only Indianapolis (121)and Dallas (116), while the yardage total ranked sixth.Finley (55 receptions) and Lee (37) became the firsttight-end duo in franchise history to each post 35-plusreceptions in the same season, and they were one of onlytwo tandems in the league to do so in 2009, along withNew Orleans’ Jeremy Shockey and David Thomas. Meanwhile,with Finley (five TDs) and Havner (four), the Packerswere the only team in the NFL to have two tight ends catchat least four touchdown passes apiece.The emergence of Finley, a third-round draft choice in2008, was not a surprise after seeing the marked improvementhe made in his first season. McAdoo helped Finleysteadily learn the pro game as a rookie, and Finley flashedhis tremendous potential over the final two games of theseason, posting three receptions for 64 yards and his firstNFL touchdown.In 2007, it was former backup Lee enjoying a breakoutyear as he moved into a starting role. Lee posted careerhighs with 48 catches for 575 yards and six touchdowns,and he followed that up with consistent production thepast two years to become the first Packers tight end sincePaul Coffman (1981-83) to catch at least 35 passes inthree consecutive seasons.Upon arriving in Green Bay in 2006, McAdoo helped thePackers’ tight ends adapt successfully to additional blockingand pass-protection duties they hadn’t previously beenassigned. The added assistance helped a young offensiveline, with as many as three rookie starters at times, allowjust 24 sacks all season.McAdoo came to Green Bay from the San Francisco49ers, where he served in 2005 as assistant offensive line/quality control coach. In that role, he assisted the offensiveline and tight ends.Ben McAdoo at a glance…►►Last name is pronounced MACK-ah-dew.►►Packers’ tight ends posted a collective 99 receptions for1,048 yards in 2009, franchise records in both categories.►►Joined Packers Jan. 17, 2006.►►Has worked with Head Coach Mike McCarthy in each of previoustwo NFL tenures, with New Orleans and San Francisco.COACHING BACKGROUNDYears College/Pro Team Position Coached2001 Michigan State. .

COACHING STAFF / JIMMY ROBINSONJIMMY ROBINSONWIDE RECEIVERS21st Season as NFL CoachFifth Packers SeasonVETERANS COACHES COMMUNITYLAMBEAU RECORDS &DRAFT &MISC. FIELD HISTORY 2009 REVIEW FREE AGENTSA possessor of 25 years ofcoaching experience, JimmyRobinson begins his fifth seasonas the Green Bay Packers’wide receivers coach.Named to his position by Head Coach Mike McCarthyJan. 17, 2006, Robinson brings a wealth of experience tothe wide receiver corps. A proven and established tutor ofsome of the NFL’s top receivers, Robinson worked withMcCarthy while with New Orleans in 2004 when McCarthywas the Saints’ offensive coordinator. Robinson is the 19thwide receivers coach in Packers history, joining a groupthat includes Tom Coughlin (1986-87) and Jon Gruden(1993-94), plus Hall of Famer Don Hutson (1944-48).Entering his 27th season in the National Football Leagueas a player or coach, Robinson’s dedication to the fundamentalsand focus on the “little things” has helped mold amixture of veterans and younger players into a productivegroup over the past four years.While veteran Donald Driver followed up two Pro Bowlcampaigns in 2006 and 2007 (including career highs of92 catches and 1,295 yards in ’06) with two more 1,000-yard seasons in 2008 and 2009, Robinson also has beeninstrumental in the rapid ascension of youngsters GregJennings, James Jones, and Jordy Nelson.Jennings, who went from a second-round draft choicein 2006 to a Pro Football Weekly All-Rookie selection, enjoyeda 12-touchdown season in his second year, and nowlike Driver has posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasonsthe last two years, with his 1,292 yards in 2008 rankingsixth in the NFL. The Packers have had two 1,000-yardreceivers in the same season just five times in franchisehistory, and twice now under Robinson.Meanwhile, Jones, a third-round pick in 2007, andNelson, a second-round pick in 2008, made seamlesstransitions to the pro game that mirrored Jennings’. Jonescaught 47 passes for 676 yards and two TDs in his rookieyear, while Nelson had 33 receptions for 366 yards andtwo TDs as a rookie in 2008. Each’s numbers fell in thesame ballpark as those of Jennings’ first year in 2006 (45catches, 632 yards, three TDs), and after an injury-plaguedsecond season, Jones rebounded with a career-best fiveTD catches in 2009.Robinson spent two years (2004-05) with the Saints beforecoming to the Packers. In New Orleans, he built a groupof receivers that became the most consistent members ofthe offense. In 2005, a season of significant adversity, Robinsonhelped elevate Donté Stallworth to career highs inreceptions (70) and yards (945), along with seven TDs.In his first year in New Orleans, 2004, Robinson guidedJoe Horn, who tied a career best and matched the NFClead with 94 receptions. Horn also established career highsand club records with 1,399 receiving yards and 11 TDcatches.
