Surveying the landscape:
It’s going to be a great offseason for teams in search of a defensive coordinator. Three of the best are currently available. The Packers are very familiar with two of them.
Mike Zimmer has been designing defenses against Green Bay for eight years as head coach of the Vikings, and he’s done it pretty well. Prior to that, Zimmer earned a reputation as one of the top DCs in the NFL at Dallas, Atlanta and Cincinnati.
Vic Fangio was cut loose as head coach of the Broncos. Fangio spent four seasons making life challenging for the Packers as DC for the Bears from 2015 through the 2018 season.
