Matt LaFleur’s search for the Green Bay Packers’ next defensive coordinator might be down to two finalists.
According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, both Jim Leonhard, the Wisconsin defensive coordinator, and Ejiro Evero, the Los Angeles Rams safeties coach, appear to be the two finalists for the job, with Leonhard as the likely front runner.
LaFleur and the Packers are attempting to replace Mike Pettine, who was let go after three seasons in Green Bay as the defensive coordinator.
Leonhard played for Pettine in the NFL and has operated a highly successful form of the scheme in Madison.
