[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 623185"] I wouldn't make too much of Moss' elevated title. If the packers.com bio is to be believed, "Winston Moss’ title was adjusted to associate head coach but his role will remain the same as it was for the last eight seasons under the title of assistant head coach. In addition, he will have responsibility for all linebackers for the second consecutive season, a role he originally worked in from 2006-08." I do think Whitt may need some kind of intermediate step up in responsibility before he'll be considered for DC. Other than coaching WRs in college, his position coaching experience has been only as a CB coach and he did not DC at the college level. Whether McCarthy would consider going outside the organization would depend on the motivation. If the change is based solely on McCarthy's decision-making process, I would lean toward an inside promotion as you say. McCarthy (and the football operation as a whole) has the promote-from-within/keep-your-own approach shot through it. Incrementalism tends to rule the day. However, if he is under pressure to do something to alter the defensive status quo, he may sense the need to do something more radical. It would certainly upset the apple cart. A new DC from the outside would want to bring in some (all?) of his own guys as position coaches, whereas the incumbents have been around for quite some time. We saw how McCarthy stuck by Slocum long past he point where it was sensible; their long-standing relationship would have played into that. It would be a last resort. In the final analysis, taking 2 steps back to go 3 steps forward is not likely in the cards, however much I'd like to see it. Then again, we'll see how the season plays out. [/QUOTE]
