On Wednesday morning, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur gave indications that he may have been considering making a change at defensive coordinator. Comments like “we’re evaluating everything” hardly suggest confidence when that is the response to a direct question about a subordinate’s job status.
However, LaFleur evidently has decided that Mike Pettine will remain on board for the 2020 campaign. The news comes from ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, whose sources say that Pettine will return for next season after he and LaFleur conducted their season-ending interview on Wednesday.
Mike McCarthy hired Pettine prior to the 2018 season, and his units largely improved from his first year to his second.
