Wednesday Cheese Curds: Don’t rule out defensive mind for the next Packers head coach

When the Green Bay Packers fired Mike McCarthy as their head coach, it was widely assumed the team would pursue an offensive-minded coach to help fix Aaron Rodgers and the once-potent offense.

What happens if that assumption is wrong and the Packers actually go with a defensive-minded coach?

This would mean the offensive play caller could be completely in control of the offense and not also be tasked with overseeing the entire time like McCarthy was. It would mean more face-to-face time with Rodgers, who needs to be coached badly and the quarterback himself has gone on record saying that’s what he wants.
