'Football tech' to help Matt LaFleur's decisions; Pettine's focus on D

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Matt LaFleur plans to designate a game-management adviser – someone who will counsel him on the difficult decisions that inevitably come up during an NFL game.

In fact, even before he became the Green Bay Packers head coach last month, he told people that not having one “will get you fired.”

No one on his 24-member coaching staff, which was finalized this week, was given that title, but he told ESPN.com that it will come from someone in the team’s football technology department – a group established under former coach Mike McCarthy.
