Packers Rumors: Joe Philbin Landing GB Head Coaching Job Would Be a 'Surprise'

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported on Saturday that "it would be a surprise" if Green Bay Packers interim coach Joe Philbin earned the team's full-time gig next season.

Philbin took over for ex-Packers head coach Mike McCarthy, who was relieved of his duties following a 4-7-1 start.

Green Bay has gone 2-1 under Philbin, who was also the Packers' offensive coordinator under McCarthy from 2007 to 2011.

The Packers won Super Bowl XLV with Philbin calling the offensive shots, and he parlayed his Green Bay success into a head-coaching gig with the Miami Dolphins.
