Defensive Coordinator Candidates Thread

Based on most of these interviews I don't think ML minds being dinked and dunked to death. Or maybe that's just how every defense plays now and it's all down to talent because the schemes all do roughly the same thing.
 
Daronte Jones will also interview today for the Packers DC job.

ML having a busy day with a lot of interviews lined up for the DC job.

Al Harris and Jim Leonhard who else can they interview to make the WI homers happy? Maybe Charles Woodson or Leroy Butler.

You don't think Harris and Leonhard have earned at least an interview?

Yes, they have ties to Wisconsin and the Pack but both of them are doing pretty good - better than defense coaches currently in Green Bay and in Green Bay last season.

And, if Charles Woodson wanted to get into coaching, I'd say, "He'll, yeah at cornerbacks, safety, or defending passing game."
 
Parker and Harris seem like the young up-and-coming types that might be worth a shot. Neither has been a defensive playcaller but certainly earned an interview. I wonder if the Packers, who consider themselves in a Super Bowl window, are willing to take that gamble. (though Parker is no longer an option)

I think they are probably looking for a guy who's kind of been-there-done-that. Morris, Gannon, and Leonhard would seem to be more of that type. It'll be interesting to see how it unfolds and if ML is willing to wait much beyond early next week to get this done.
 
My numbers one and two are Leonard and Gannon.

Leonard has an impressive track record with Wisconsin, and made a very successful transition to the NFL with the Broncos. I like his blitzing tactics he employs from various positions.

Gannon brings experience and success with the Eagles. What I especially like with him is his “HITS Principle”, a defensive philosophy that emphasizes Hustle, Intensity, Takeaways, and Smarts to create a nasty, turnover-hungry defense. Something the Packers defense has lacked recently.

Fingers crossed…
