HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Former Green Bay Packer quarterback Bret Favre will have a coaching job this fall. He is expected to be offensive coordinator at Oak Grove High School in Hattiesburg, Mississisippi.
Favre has helped in an unofficial capacity at the football powerhouse in previous seasons. Oak Grove head coach Nevil Barr says he has talked to the 42 year old future NFL Hall of Famer about a possible position on the school’s coaching staff in the past.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Zack Greinke is confirming a report the club made a contract extension offer to him. A blog in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel quotes Greinke as saying the $100 million size of the deal cited by Jon Heyman of CBS Sports is fairly accurate. Greinke wouldn’t be more specific. Brewers General Manager Doug Melvin has said the team would rather sign Greinke than trade him before the July 31st deadline.

University of Wisconsin Badger reserve defensive tackle Jordan Kohout is being forced to hang up his cleats early due to a medical condition. The Rose Bowl will apparently be his last college football game. Kohout wasn’t a full-time starter, but he played a lot for UW. After he was plagued by persistent migraines and suffered two minor strokes, Kohout decided to step aside. He says he was reluctant at first. He did start seven games last season, playing in all 14. He had 22 tackles and one sack. His departure means Bryce Gilbert and Warren Herring will get more snaps. Kohout is a graduate of Waupun High School. He is expected to serve as a student assistant coach this fall.
