5 Packers Defensive Coordinator Candidates

It’s close to a foregone conclusion that Matt LaFleur will be seeking a new defensive coordinator after this season. The scheme that Joe Barry had just one year’s experience in hasn’t worked in Green Bay and the defense has regressed in almost every area despite adding two first round picks last offseason. Would LaFleur double down on the Fangio scheme? Will he hire from within? Here are a few candidates for Packers defensive coordinator should Joe Barry be let go.

Jim Leonhard

You can’t start this conversation with anyone other than Leonhard. LaFleur offered him the job last time and Leonhard is probably the biggest free agent in college football coaching right now.
