Winston Moss the Front Runner for the Packers Defensive Coordinator?
Packerholic — Well this will definitely come as bad news to those of you who wanted to get a coach from another team to be our defensive coordinator, but according to The National Football Post (the same site that first broke Sanders being fired) it appears that Winston Moss is the frontrunner for the Packers defensive coordinator position .

Buzz: Coaching Carousel Coalescing?
thejetsblog.com — Mike Lombardi from National Football Post has some notes today that might be of interest to the Jets. I hear the Broncos were not enamored or impressed with Steve Spagnuolo and he does not seem to be the frontrunner.

Moving up the Raheem Morris interview means they might want to move quickly. The real damning piece for Spags chances in Denver is the rush ...
