Less than a week after the Green Bay Packers' woeful postseason performance against the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, the organization opted to part ways with defensive line coach Jason Rebrovich, who spent three years with the franchise.
A holdover from former defensive coordinator Joe Barry's staff, Rebrovich was kept on under new DC Jeff Hafley, but as the Packers' pass rush unquestionably regressed as a whole with the defense switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3, a change was clearly needed.
That change came in the way of DeMarcus Covington, who spent the last eight seasons with the New England Patriots in various roles, first as a general assistant, then as a linebackers coach, then as a defensive line coach, and then as defensive coordinator.
