'Fit and alignment' important for Philbin, Packers other candidates
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Let the coaching search begin in earnest for the Green Bay Packers.
A month after Mike McCarthy was fired, the team can finally push all-in now that the season is over.
In one sense, Monday was the first day in the rest of the Packers’ life. They now can interview any NFL coach who’s not in the playoffs or has a playoff bye. The latter means they can talk this week to members of four coaching staffs: the Rams, Saints, Chiefs and Patriots. Only coaches from teams playing in this weekend’s wild-card game are off limits.
