The Green Bay Packers finalized their coaching staff for the 2021 season on Monday, announcing four promotions and four new hires.
Here’s what to know about the Packers’ staff:
– The Packers replaced Mike Pettine with Joe Barry at defensive coordinator, but the defensive coaching staff is largely intact. In fact, all the major positional assistants under the coordinator are back. Almost always, new coordinators handpick a brand new staff, or at least get a chance to add some of their own assistants. Not this time. The Packers retained defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery, linebackers coach Kirk Olivadotti and outside linebackers coach Mike Smith, and defensive backs coach Jerry Gray – an internal candidate to replace Pettine – got a promotion to passing game coordinator.
