It's not official yet, because pen still needs to hit paper, but the Green Bay Packers are planning on making a massive addition to their defensive coaching staff. DeMarcus Covington was the defensive coordinator for the New England Patriots last season, but he hit the open market when Jerod Mayo was replaced by Mike Vrabel as the team's head coach.
Vrabel wanted to bring in his own guys, which is to be expected, but that left Covington looking for a job. The Packers, who recently fired defensive line coach Jason Rebrovich, were happy to jump on Covington's bad luck and turn it into good news for both them and his employment status.
