Packers will interview Wisconsin’s Jim Leonhard for defensive coordinator job

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has heard the cries from fans of his team around the state of Wisconsin, and he is listening.

On second thought, probably not. He probably is just able to identify a really good, young coach when he sees one.

As the Green Bay Packers assemble a list of candidates for their open defensive coordinator position, a hot name on the minds of Packers fans is Wisconsin Badgers DC Jim Leonhard. A former safety for the Badgers, Leonhard played ten years in the NFL with five teams, largely playing for Rex Ryan and/or departing Packers DC Mike Pettine.
