NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Green Bay Packers dismissed defensive coordinator Bob Sanders and five other coaches on Monday after a 6-10 season.

Defensive ends coach Carl Hairston, defensive tackles coach Robert Nunn, secondary coach Kurt Schottenheimer, defensive cornerbacks coach Lionel Washington and strength and conditioning coordinator Rock Gullickson were also let go. ------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was writing in another thread about how i thought the defensive line and especially the defensive ends underperformed this year. It fairly common knowledge around the league that the Redskins couldn't/didn't get sacks.

IMO the problem isn't just personnell but also an issue of coaching.
What would you guys think about adding Carl Hairston to the staff?

Under Hairston's tutelage, defensive end Aaron Kampman has now gone to two straight Pro Bowls, Cullen Jenkins has emerged as a quality every-down end, and Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila continues to thrive in his pass-rush specialist role.

Kampman has 27 1/2 sacks over the past two seasons, including a career-best and NFC-high 15 1/2 in 2006. That year, Kampman also set a franchise record for tackles by a defensive lineman with 113.

Jenkins' emergence also began in 2006, when he moved from tackle to end on early downs late in the year to bolster the team's run defense. The move, which helped produce a three-sack game from Jenkins, keyed the defensive resurgence and season-ending four-game winning streak.

Meanwhile, 'KGB' posted 9 1/2 sacks last season as a third-down pass-rush specialist, his best sack total since 2004, and surpassed Reggie White as the franchise's all-time sack leader in the process.......

Under Hairston, Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen accumulated 20 sacks from 2004-05. That figure tied for 10th in the NFL during that period but ranked first among players drafted in 2004, including 23 defensive linemen taken before Allen. Led by Allen's nine sacks as a rookie, the second-highest total by a rookie in Chiefs history, the club finished 2004 with 41 sacks, seventh in the league.
