Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
Alright, so the Green Bay Packers’ 2026 defensive coordinator search is underway. With Jeff Hafley in Miami, the Packers’ biggest move this offseason, considering their draft capital and salary cap situation, will likely be finding Hafley’s replacement. So far, we know that two candidates are going to interview for the job: Minnesota’s Daronte Jones and […]
Welcome to the end of the Jeff Hafley era. Matt LaFleur is newly re-signed in Green Bay, but already he faces a big challenge: replacing Hafley as the Packers’ defensive coordinator. Hafley, the darkest of dark horse candidates when he was hired in 2024, leaves some big shoes to fill, especially as the Packers look […]
Now that Jeff Hafley is officially headed to south Florida to be the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, the Green Bay Packers are well and truly kicking off their search for a new defensive coordinator. One day after new broke that Eagles assistant Christian Parker will interview for the job, the Packers have identified […]
Tuesday morning has arrived, and another NFL team has decided on its new head coach. Overnight, the Tennessee Titans locked in on Robert Saleh, the former New York Jets head coach and San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator, to lead them into the future. Saleh’s will be the fourth new hire of this year’s head coaching […]
The Green Bay Packers will interview Philadelphia Eagles defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator Christian Parker for their defensive coordinator vacancy, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. According to Schultz, Parker is set to interview with the Dallas Cowboys for their defensive coordinator job on Wednesday and then “head straight to Green Bay afterward.” […]
The Green Bay Packers will need a new defensive coordinator in 2026. On Monday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Miami Dolphins will be hiring Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley to be the team’s next head coach, following the firing of Mike McDaniel earlier this offseason. The Dolphins also made a change at general manager, […]
One of the first coordinators to be hired this cycle was not a particularly hot name on the market. Everyone and their mother wants former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel to call offensive plays for their team next year, but that enthusiasm never built around Drew Petzing, who, like head coach Jonathan Gannon, was […]
This past weekend brought Green Bay Packers fans two major positive pieces of news. The first is that the waiting to find out about head coach Matt LaFleur’s future is over, as he signed his new contract extension on Saturday. The second, of course, is that the Chicago Bears lost on Sunday night, as the […]
One of my favorite stats to check after the regular season is over is which NFL teams won a bunch (or lost a bunch) of close games. Why? Because, to tell you the truth, no one has really figured out how to win close games consistently in this league. For the most part, your record […]
In the press conference leading up to the College Football Playoff National Championship, Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti was asked whether he would ever leave for an NFL job, despite Cignetti having a $15 million buyout (cost to poach) and $93 million in guarantees in his most recent extension. Obviously, Cignetti was never going to […]
The all-star game slate starts this week as the American Bowl began practices on Sunday. After two practices and a walkthrough, the American Bowl will be broadcast on Thursday, January 22nd, on NFL Network at 7 pm CT. The game will be coached by a mostly veteran staff, as Brian Billick’s Warhawks will be taking […]
Hidden in the reporting from the Athletic’s Dianna Russini and Matt Schneidman on the Green Bay Packers bringing back head coach Matt LaFleur is this quote: “In their recent meetings, [president and CEO Ed] Policy didn’t mandate LaFleur make changes with his staff, and a source said neither [general manager Brian] Gutekunst nor [executive vice […]
Green Bay Packers fans saw their team bomb out of the playoffs last Saturday, giving up 25 fourth-quarter points to the Chicago Bears in a brutal 31-27 loss. With that result, the Bears advanced to this weekend’s Divisional Playoffs, where they face a Los Angeles Rams team that is, in the eyes of many NFL […]
It has long been wondered if new Green Bay Packers president and CEO Ed Policy would change his stance on the organization’s structure. Before 2018, the year Brian Gutekunst replaced Ted Thompson as general manager, the head coach reported to the general manager, who in turn reported directly to the president and CEO. Many speculated […]
After a few days of drama, the deal is done to ensure that Matt LaFleur will remain the head coach of the Green Bay Packers. LaFleur and the franchise, led by President/CEO Ed Policy, have agreed to a contract extension that will keep him in that role for the foreseeable future. LaFleur’s previous contract was […]
Green Bay Packers fans will have to wait until Sunday of the NFL Divisional Playoffs to see if the Chicago Bears’ season comes to an end. Chicago hosts the Los Angeles Rams in the final game of Divisional weekend, with Saturday instead featuring both #1 seeds in action against their conferences’ #6 teams. First up […]
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley “has emerged as a frontrunner” for the Miami Dolphins’ head coaching vacancy. This shouldn’t be much of a surprise, considering that Hafley is one of the hottest names on the coaching market. As of now, he’s been requested to interview or has […]
Well, we’re out, but that doesn’t mean we’re not still interested, and if you’re a Green Bay Packer fan, I think you should have some clear rooting interests in the remaining teams. The Packers have been around for so very long that they’ve had some kind of big moment, for good or ill, against almost […]
A week ago,t he Packers were in the playoffs. Today, their attention is on the 2026 season. Who’s going to be a part of that 2026 team? Not everyone from 2025 can or will come back, and a few of the Packers’ biggest names are in the danger zone due to their high cap numbers […]
The NFC Wildcard game between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers evolved into a true coaching clinic, a legendary chess match orchestrated by Bears offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. His layered play-calling and masterful conditioning of the Packers’ defense ultimately led to the game-winning touchdown. Johnson’s first move was a calculated test of the […]
As it stands now, it sure seems like we’re in the middle of a staring contest between Green Bay Packers president/CEO Ed Policy and Matt LaFleur’s agent, Trace Armstrong of Athletes First. At this point, if Armstrong, one of the bigger agents on the coaching side of things in the industry, doesn’t have a number […]
Earlier this week, it was revealed that the Dallas Cowboys requested to interview Green Bay Packers defensive line coach and run game coordinator Demarcus Covington for their open defensive coordinator vacancy. On Friday, the New York Jets announced that they had finished interviewing Covington, along with seven other initial candidates for the job. The Jets […]
Since we’re still waiting for an answer about whether Matt LaFleur is or isn’t going to be the Green Bay Packers’ next head coach, let’s at least do something productive with our time. One of the biggest questions I get every draft cycle is where NFL draft offensive line prospects have lined up in the […]
I agree with many of my APC brethren that there is not a clear upgrade from Matt LaFleur out there at the moment, and that bringing him back is probably, objectively, the correct thing to do. However, I’m also getting pretty sick of the Green Bay Packers playing like losers. LaFleur is a great play […]
With the Packers’ 2025 season now in the books, it’s time to take a look around and see where Packers players ended up on the team’s all-time statistical leaderboards. A minor spoiler: most of the Packers’ offensive climbing had something to do with Tobin Rote. You’ll see what I mean below. Passing There was an […]
