Keeping Pettine Should Be a No-Brainer for LaFleur

Three coordinators in three years is not an ideal outlook for the Green Bay Packers defense. Though Matt LaFleur revealed during his introductory press conference he hadn’t met with Mike Pettine directly, he is expected to remain on as the Packers defensive coordinator in 2019. As we learn more, it is becoming clear that one of the main reasons Mark Murphy and Brian Gutekunst were drawn to LaFleur was his willingness to retain Pettine and some of his staff.

Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN, Pettine has agreed to remain in Green Bay after originally being hired by former head coach Mike McCarthy last January.
