Packers Rumors: GB to Request Pat Fitzgerald Interview for Head Coach Position
The Green Bay Packers "are expected to request an interview" with Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, as the team looks to fill its head coaching vacancy in the wake of Mike McCarthy's firing.
As Schefter noted, Fitzgerald has some familiarity with the Green Bay front office:
"It is unclear whether Fitzgerald would interview, according to the source, but he certainly would be comfortable with the man leading the interview for the Packers. Packers CEO and president Mark Murphy was Northwestern's athletic director when Fitzgerald was hired as the head coach at his alma mater in 2006.
