That’s one way to kindly tell everyone to GTFO.
I mean it does kinda feel like we’ve been watching the exact same defense for 25 straight years. Freshen it up.
Wasn’t expecting this but I think it’s time. Seems like we have guys from a number of regimes and it doesn’t seem like any of them get buzz for promotions. Based on MLF and Hafleys connections I’m curious to see who they hire to Revamp the defensive side of the ball. I think this is necessary if we want a total culture change.
I’m happy about this. Clean house totally on the defensive coaching staff. Get new voices in here with different ideas.
Quite the contrast from the report that “some or all” of the defensive staff could return.
Yeah, clean house on that side of the ball. I’ve seen the same shit through several regimes
Goodbye, good riddance
Nothing is PREVENTing them from leaving
Think that really means they got fired and just saving face?
He did say he’d be interviewing all D coaches
I am very okay with this. Can’t get worse than being on the bad end of every big game defensive situation for the past 15 years.

I don’t know who it was but I feel like our db coach was good. He was playing with a hurt Jaire, a seventh round rookie and a 6th round perennial practice squader as well as basically no safeties and did a pretty good job
I’m okay with this. The Packers have been stuck running the same outdated schemes and philosophies on defense for over a decade.
I have no issue with assistant coaches returning if it’s what our new DC thinks is best but forcing the old staff on him without allowing him the option of bringing in his own staff would be bad for everyone
We need change. We’ve had some coaches survive multiple coordinators and a HC change.
How Jerry Montgomery has stuck around for so long is beyond me
Yes. YES. I’m ready to live or die by any other means
Pretty sure this came out right after we fired Barry. All those talks about returning staff were just BS.
Jerry Montgomery is a very good coach.
