BREAKING: The Green Bay Packers are interviewing a shocking defensive coordinator candidate.

The Green Bay Packers are looking for a defensive coordinator. This comes after Joe Barry confirmed that he would not return as the Packers’ defensive coordinator in 2024. You won’t believe who the Packers may replace Barry with.

Green Bay Packers interview Brandon Staley.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Green Bay Packers want to interview Brandon Staley for the role of defensive coordinator. This comes after Staley was fired as the Los Angeles Chargers’ head coach following a devastating loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Believe it or not, Green Bay also competes for Staley’s services. The Miami Dolphins also intend to interview him.

Brandon Staley’s argument?

Is Brandon Staley the ideal man for this role? Many people criticize his coaching ability during his time with the Los Angeles Chargers. Focusing solely on the defensive side of the ball, the case does not improve significantly.

The Green Bay Packers ranked ninth in passing yards allowed per game (206.8). The Los Angeles Chargers finished 30th (249.8) in this category. The Chargers’ rush defense was somewhat better than the Packers’ under Staley. They allowed 15 less rushing yards per game. However, the Chargers gave up nearly three more points per game than the Packers.
