GREEN BAY — Following a Pro Football Hall of Fame playing career, during which he recorded the third-most sacks in NFL history, Kevin Greene found himself searching for what to do next.
After playing his final season in 1999, Greene went into private business at home in Florida. He tried professional wrestling. He served six NFL coaching internships at various teams’ training camps. He served in the Army Reserve. He considered putting his Auburn University criminal justice degree to use in law enforcement.
Then, in 2009, Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy hired Dom Capers as his new defensive coordinator.
