Matt LaFleur and the Green Bay Packers might have swung and missed on their top option at defensive coordinator for the second consecutive hiring cycle.
According to reporting from Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston, the Packers offered the defensive coordinator job to then Baltimore Ravens inside linebackers coach Zach Orr, who turned down the offer and was instead promoted to defensive coordinator in Baltimore.
The Packers instead hired Boston College coach Jeff Hafley to replace Joe Barry.
In 2021, the Packers wanted Wisconsin Badgers defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard to take over for Mike Pettine, but Leonhard turned down the offer and stayed in Madison, and LaFleur later hired Barry.
