Mike Pettine is now in charge of the Green Bay Packers’ defense after Dom Capers was let go from the staff after nine seasons.
The Packers have been poor on the defensive side of the ball for seven straight seasons. Finally this past offseason, the team began shaking things up, firing longtime defensive coordinator Capers in addition to parting ways with three position coaches.
While the team’s reported top choice was Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, the Packers scooped up Pettine to lead their defense after it began looking more and more like Fangio would return to Chicago.
