Sports for January 29th
The Packers have found an internal replacement for their special teams coordinator. Green Bay will promote Maurice Drayton to the position, per a report from NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero. Drayton has spent the last three years as the Packers’ assistant special teams coach. He was initially hired by former head coach Mike McCarthy in 2018, but Matt LaFleur retained him when he took over. Drayton previously worked for the Colts from 2016-2017. Multiple outlets are reporting Green Bay did not retain Shawn Mennenga as special teams coordinator after a poor year with the unit.
The Milwaukee Brewers have promoted Sara Goodrum to minor league hitting coordinator. Brewers vice president of minor league operations Tom Flanagan says that “to our knowledge, she would be the first” woman to hold that position in an MLB organization. Goodrum’s official new title with the Brewers is coordinator for hitting development initiatives. Goodrum played softball for Oregon from 2012-15 and had spent the last three seasons in the Brewers’ sports science department.
In the NBA tonight, Milwaukee plays at New Orleans. The Bucks (11-6) are in a second place, a game behind Boston in the Eastern Conference. The Pelicans are 6-10 in the Western Conference.
