The Packers are letting go of their longest-tenured coach

On Saturday, The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman reported that the Green Bay Packers have moved on from defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery. Previously, it was reported that all of the Packers’ assistant coaches were under contract for 2024 — despite the team hiring a new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley. This means that Montgomery was either fired or the team “mutually parted ways” with the coach.

After spending eight years as an on-field coach at the college level, Montgomery joined Dom Capers’ staff in 2015 as a defensive assistant. He was promoted to the team’s defensive line coach in 2018 during Mike Pettine’s first year as Green Bay’s defensive coordinator.
