Green Bay Packers

Green Bay, WI: The football team passed over Jim Bates for their head coach job in January 2006. The team agreed to fulfill his contract but did so knowing he would be a hot commodity and almost certainly would get a job as a defensive coordinator or head coach with another team. Bates was offered another job but turned it down for a different potential offer which eventually fell through. Bates had a contract with the Packers through 2007 and therefore had to negotiate a settlement for the rest of his contract. The Packers agreed to pay Bates 65% of his total remaining salary or $1.1 million. (Oct-19-06) [PACKERS NEWS: HEAD COACH]
