Packers to add veteran 49ers position coach Mike Solari

Does this mean James Campen will not be coaching for the Packers in 2015?

The Green Bay Packers will be adding one of the NFL’s senior offensive line coaches to their staff.

A source told FOX Sports that Mike Solari is leaving San Francisco for the Packers.

Solari, 60, has 28 years of NFL coaching experience with five different franchises. Solari spent the past five seasons with the 49ers, which fielded one of the league’s most prolific rushing attacks during that span.

The bulk of San Francisco’s offensive coaches have left since defensive line coach Jim Tomsula was promoted to head coach to replace Jim Harbaugh, who left for the same position at the University of Michigan.

It wasn’t immediately known what Solari’s exact role will be in Green Bay. James Campen has served as offensive line coach since 2007, and in 2014 the unit was the team’s strongest in years.

Solari’s hiring would be part of rumored Packers staff changes following the team’s 28-22 overtime loss to Seattle in the NFC championship game. Green Bay radio station WDUZ-FM reported Sunday that McCarthy was considering ceding his play-calling responsibilities to Tom Clements, who would be promoted from offensive coordinator to associate head coach. Edgar Bennett would then shift from wide receivers coach to offensive coordinator.

Weird. Another 60 year old, albeit a seemingly successful one.

Edgar had been apparently helping out with the run game while he was WRs coach. Maybe this guy will be picking up that slack. Hard to say.

This fella is just replacing the OL Assistant Steve Marshall who left for the Jets OL coaching position.

I'm still wondering who the new WR coach will be. My guess is Luke Getsy (currently the Offensive Quality Control) might get a promotion to WRs coach. Of course... part of me is hoping for a more well known name maybe becoming the new WR coach.

Coach Driver?

I'm hoping this is a move to finally scrap the outside zone blocking forever. Get back to more pulling, and ability to have counter plays and let Lacy use his power running.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Anything to improve our short yardage situations. God we're horrible at picking up 3rd and 1 or punching it in at the goal line. I'd like to see the Packers pick up Felton who opted out of his contract in Minnesota. He was injured last year, but would be a major improvement over Kuhn in run blocking.

Nice pick up, with the emergence of the offensive line & w/ Lacy & Starks this could elevate our run game. SF run game has been very efficient in the past years.

Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

Zero2Cool (3h) : I hope they take a Punter at 9th overall. Be bold!

Mucky Tundra (4h) : I may end up eating those words but I think they need a lot more talent then their 4 picks can provide

Mucky Tundra (4h) : I really hope they stand pat and Draft a WR

Mucky Tundra (4h) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (4h) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend Penei Soul 4yrs - 112mil

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend St. Brown 4 years 120mil and

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

beast (24-Apr) : DT Byron Murphy II, Texas... whom some believe is the next Aaron Donald (or the closest thing to Donald)

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.
