Packers expected to hire Ron Zook as their Special Teams Coordinator
Green Bay Packers linebacker Sam Barrington broke the news via Twitter on Thursday, but even though there was no official announcement it looks like it is a done deal.
Congratulations to our new Special Teams coordinator Ron Zook.

The move comes less than a week after coach Mike McCarthy fired special teams coordinator Shawn Slocum following a disastrous special teams season that culminated with two key mistakes in the NFC Championship Game loss, when they allowed the Seattle Seahawks to execute a fake field goal for a touchdown and then botched an onside kick recovery in the final minutes.
