The Green Bay Packers’ next defensive coordinator is not going to be Jim Leonhard.
The Wisconsin defensive coordinator is staying with the Badgers after he interviewed with the Packers this week. Leonhard told the Wisconsin State Journal that he had talked with coach Matt LaFleur over Zoom during the week and told the paper that he was “about out the door.”
“It was me choosing UW," Leonhard said. "I want to stay at UW. I want to be at this level right now. Extremely flattered. Awesome opportunity. But it was not the right time for me to go back to the NFL.
