The Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams have met five times in the last decade or so. This past season, the two clubs competed for (and won) the final two playoff slots. Over the past decade, the Packers have gone 4-1 versus the Rams.
Today, however, it was revealed that one Packers coach will continue his career with the Rams.
Tom Silverstein reports that the Los Angeles Rams have hired a former Green Bay Packers head coach.
The Rams have hired former Packers defensive pass game coordinator Greg Williams, who was among the assistants told they might interview elsewhere after Joe Barry was sacked.
It was generally rumored that Williams would not return to Green Bay as the team went through multiple coaching changes and may potentially transition to a 4-3 defense. Williams formerly coached cornerbacks for the Cardinals from 2019 to 2022, as well as Broncos and Colts defensive backs.
In 2023, the Packers allowed 335 passing yards per game, which ranked 17th in the NFL. They also let up 37 passing touchdowns (including two playoff games).
According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, the Packers have hired Derrick Ansley, the former Chargers defensive coordinator, as their defensive pass game coordinator. In addition to naming Anthony Campanile as linebackers coach/run game coordinator, the Packers are expanding their defensive staff under new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley.
