Report: Packers Interview Jim Caldwell, Chuck Pagano for Head Coaching Job

The search for Mike McCarthy's replacement has officially begun in Green Bay.

According to Pro Football Talk, the Packers interviewed former Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell for their head coaching vacancy on Wednesday. Former Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano was also interviewed for the position, as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

The Packers fired McCarthy just hours after the team's Week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, who came into that matchup with a 2–9 record. Green Bay will miss the playoffs for the second straight season and for the first time with a healthy Aaron Rodgers since 2008.
