Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur should have multiple candidates lining up to be his next defensive coordinator.
According to reports from several media outlets, LaFleur and the Packers are moving on from Mike Pettine, who spent the last three years as the team’s defensive coordinator. He had an expiring contract and won’t be retained for 2021.
Pettine’s departure opens up what should be a highly-coveted assistant coaching position, even if LaFleur and the Packers are getting into the hiring cycle way late.
While often maligned, the Packers defense has so much to offer the right coach.
