Future DC Thread

Some of the others:

Shane Bowen, Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator​

Bowen, 37, has called plays for Tennessee’s defense under former head coach Mike Vrabel since 2021. During that time, the Titans hold the following ranks:

• Points allowed per game: 10th
• Takeaways: 28th
• Defensive rush EPA per snap: first
• Defensive pass EPA per dropback: 22nd
• Opponent third-down conversion percentage: 17th

Al Harris, Dallas Cowboys defensive backs coach​

Dallas cornerback DaRon Bland was named a first-team All-Pro this season under Harris after setting the NFL record for most pick sixes in a season. Since Harris became the Cowboys’ defensive backs coach in 2020, they rank tied for second in the NFL with 69 interceptions over that span. Oh, and Harris is also a Packers Hall of Famer from his eight years with the team from 2003 to 2010, a span that included a second-team All-Pro nod and two Pro Bowl honors.

Leslie Frazier, free agent​

The former Minnesota Vikings head coach was the Buffalo Bills’ defensive coordinator from 2017 to 2022 before taking 2023 off from coaching. From 2017 to 2022, the Bills ranked third in the NFL in points allowed per game and second in takeaways. Frazier turns 65 in April.

Steve Belichick, New England Patriots outside linebackers coach​

New England’s defensive play caller could follow his dad, Bill Belichick, to wherever his next head-coaching opportunity is, or he could stay with the Patriots under new head coach Jerod Mayo. Still, Belichick is a name worth considering anytime there’s a defensive staff opening.

Mike Caldwell, free agent​

Caldwell, 52, spent the last two seasons as the Jacksonville Jaguars’ defensive coordinator before being fired after Jacksonville collapsed and missed the playoffs this season. Over the past two seasons, the Jaguars ranked tied for 11th in points allowed per game (with the Packers), fifth in takeaways and 11th in defensive total EPA per snap.

Jack Del Rio, free agent​

Del Rio, who turns 61 in April, was fired as the Commanders’ defensive coordinator this season after serving in that role since 2020 and was previously the head coach for the Raiders and Jaguars and the defensive coordinator for the Broncos.

I was laughing on X some people suggesting Bill Belichick could be Packers DC. Zero way Bill ever takes anything but a HC job again. But from this list nothing really says more then meh.

Lots of interviews. I have a hunch they've already zeroed in on two or three potential guys, but don't want to leave any stone un-turned.

Babich and Durdę are 4-3 guys. Parker comes from a Vance Joseph system, not sure about fronts but I think they play a lot of man coverage and blitzes.
