Packers: Matt LaFleur non-committal on Mike Pettine’s future

Mike Pettine was hired as part of Mike McCarthy’s staff in 2018, but there seems to be a chance Matt LaFleur will want to bring in his own defensive coordinator this offseason.

Despite adding talent at edge rusher and safety last spring, the Green Bay Packers defense didn’t see the significant improvements we expected.

After an awful performance by the defense in the NFC Championship Game, questions have been asked about Pettine’s future with the team. On Wednesday, LaFleur was asked directly whether he plans to stick with Pettine and the defensive coaching staff.

“We’re still working through everything right now,” LaFleur said during his season-ending press conference.
