Report: Former Browns HC Mike Pettine to Become Packers Defensive Coordinator

The Packers are set to hire Mike Pettine as their defensive coordinator, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Pettine, 51, was defensive coordinator of the Jets (2009-12) and Bills (2013) before he became the Browns' head coach prior to the 2014 season. He went 7-9 in his first year in Cleveland but was fired after a 3-13 season in 2015. He worked this season as a consultant for the Seahawks.

Pettine replaces Dom Capers, who was fired after spending nine seasons as Green Bay's defensive coordinator. He joins a new-look Packers staff, as head coach Mike McMcarthy has shaken things up after Green Bay missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008.
