However, those expectations were put to bed on Monday after the reports surfaced citing the Packers as nearing the climax of their coaching search: Tennesee Titans offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur will become Mike McCarthy's successor and fill the team's vacant position.
The doubt of what would happen with the team's defensive coordinator Mike Pettine surfaced. Typically, whenever coaches are hired across the league, they'll want to create their own staff from the ground-up.
That wasn't the case with LaFleur, who, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky, will be the one primary component to keeping the entirety of the defensive staff intact.
