The Green Bay Packers hired former Arizona Cardinals coach Vince Tobin as a special assistant.
Coach/general manager Mike Sherman said Tobin will assist in all phases–offense, defense and special teams–and offer his expertise in game planning and scouting opponents.
Tobin replaced Buddy Ryan as Bears defensive coordinator in 1986.
– The NFL made another attempt Friday to block the court ruling allowing Maurice Clarett into April’s draft.
The league asked the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for a stay of U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin’s ruling earlier this month, citing “potentially tragic consequences” if it remains intact.
The stay would block Clarett–and presumably USC wide receiver Mike Williams–from entering the draft while the appeals court considers whether Scheindlin’s ruling should be overturned.
