Report: Packers Find Next Defensive Coordinator, Set to Hire Former Cardinals Coach
- On Sunday, coach Matt LaFleur hired Jonathan Gannon as the Green Bay Packers' defensive coordinator to replace Jeff Hafley, who left for the Miami Dolphins last week.
- Available following his Arizona exit, Gannon interviewed twice this week after being fired on Jan. 5 following a three-14 season, leaving Arizona with a fifteen-36 record.
- Previously, Gannon spent two seasons as the Philadelphia Eagles' defensive coordinator, his 2022 unit recorded 70 sacks and ranked second in total defense during their Super Bowl LVII run.
- He will be the fourth defensive coordinator under Matt LaFleur in eight seasons and inherits a defense featuring first-team All-Pro Micah Parsons and second-team All-Pro Xavier McKinney.
- Gannon's time in Arizona was marred by a sideline incident with Emari Demercado that led to a $100,000 fine; the Packers closed the hire swiftly, missing the chance to interview Jim Leonhard due to Sunday's AFC Championship Game amid interest from other teams.
