Mike Pettine poised to rebuild Packers defense in his tough-guy image

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Mike Pettine is here to rebuild -- both the Green Bay Packers defense and himself.

Two years after he was fired as Cleveland Browns head coach, the 51-year-old has returned to the game. He was introduced Wednesday as the new Packers defensive coordinator, a job he actually began two weeks ago.

Pettine had been out of coaching in any official capacity for two seasons, although he worked as a consultant for the Seattle Seahawks last year.
