Pettine, Mennenga won’t be back after Packers’ playoff loss

Green Bay defensive coordinator Mike Pettine won't return to the team next season and special teams coordinator Shawn Mennenga has been fired after the Packers' second straight NFC championship game loss last Sunday.

The Packers said in an announcement late Friday afternoon that Pettine would not be back next season. ESPN reported that Pettine's contract expired at the end of this season. The team also announced Mennenga had been dismissed.

Both departures were first reported by NFL Network.

Pettine had been the Packers’ defensive coordinator for three seasons — taking over one year before coach Matt LaFleur’s arrival.
