The New Orleans Saints manage to thwart attempts from LSU to hire away assistant head coach Ryan Nielsen to serve as their defensive coordinator last month.
Now they have a direct competitor taking a run at him as well.
According to multiple reports, the Green Bay Packers have interviewed Nielsen for their vacant defensive coordinator position. The Packers are searching for a replace for Mike Pettine, who was not retained by the team after the NFC Championship. Per Amie Just of NOLA.com, the interview with Nielsen was on Tuesday.
