"In terms of the mental gymnastics of doing it, I know I can do it," Gottlieb said. "I just have to prove I can do it."

Gottlieb is taking over for Sundance Wicks, who left Green Bay after one year to take over Wyoming’s program. Green Bay went 18-14 in Wicks’ lone season after posting a 3-29 record the year before his arrival.

The challenge for Gottlieb is to build on Wicks’ success while dealing with the time demands that come from his radio job.

Gottlieb, 48, said the unusual arrangement should help because the radio gig enabled him to accept a lower coaching salary than he otherwise might have commanded, which should enable Green Bay to spend more on the rest of his coaching staff.

Gottlieb also pointed out that other coaches have their own media demands that take away from time that could be spent recruiting or working with players. But he conceded his case is special because "The Doug Gottlieb Show" airs five days a week.
