Why did he leave Packers?

---

This is what he said at the time: (from JSOnline.com)

"I am stepping away from the NFL at this time in order to spend more time with my wife, Tara, and our children, Gavin and Gabrielle," Greene said in a Packers release. "I will miss coaching and will try to return after our kids move on to college if a team will have me.

"My experience here with the Green Bay Packers has been nothing but positive. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity that Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson have blessed me with. I have a peace about the productivity that I helped bring forward in all of the fine young men that have been entrusted to me these past five years. I am most proud of all their accomplishments and the fine young men they've become in this league."

--I never heard if there was a real story and this was a cover.

Good luck in New York Kevin, you're gonna' need it.

It was strange when he left, and two lower assistants followed him out the door.

Maybe he's done "spending time with his family." 🤣

According to an article published last year when Kevin Greene was inducted into the HoF, his son Gavin was a freshman at the University of Southern Mississippi, and his daughter Gabrielle was a senior in high school this year and should be starting college this fall.

So, it sounds like he did exactly what he said he was going to do.

Would be interesting to know whether or not he approached the Packers about resuming coaching...
