ADAM SCHEFTER on Green Bay Packers DC Search, NFL Coaching Chaos & 18-Game Season Talk

Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to break down the Green Bay Packers’ defensive coordinator search following Jeff Hafley’s departure. Schefter gives insight on candidates like Jonathan Gannon, Christian Parker, and Durante Jones, plus discusses Matt LaFleur’s contract status and whether any NFL coach is ever truly safe.

The conversation also dives into the wild NFL coaching carousel, Brian Flores’ future in Minnesota, and the growing momentum toward an 18-game regular season — including what players should demand in return.

  3. 18 game season, what a waste. The product is already getting watered down. The injury numbers are also killing the product. Also why keep bad teams on TV longer? As someone who used to sit on the couch from the start to the end of a Sunday, adding more games isn't the way.

  8. DC shake up? There is no shake up in GB…..our sorry DC quit! No, I didn’t misspell that! I saw the Baltimore game, too bad Ed Policy obviously didn’t! We wil get a DC when Prince Lafleur decides, he will decide which of his friends he wants, then he will hire them, and there they will be until they QUIT! No accountability for anyone in GB! That’s all the changes folks…..nothing to see until draft time, if you really care.

  12. An 18 game season would need a 65 mam roster and 2 weekly breaks in the season! The NFL is all about chasing the $$$ vs putting a Quality Product on the field!

  14. If MLF starts the season 0/4 , they'd probably give him another extension. Just like Gutes could draft 7 long snappers that need 4 years to develop, and he'd probably get a raise

  16. Well with the way Gutes drafts, whomever he drafts in 2026 (no first) it'll be by 2029 that they show signs of development which would be a contract year. So how can we avoid signing more Rashan Gary's? Gutes, will pray sign LVN, before he drafted him, and his ego doesn't let him hold his accountable, and definitely not make his look bad.

  19. Its amazing that MLF is so disliked but JH some how wasn't blamed for the fraud he was! in the last 5 games, without Mica Parsons our D dropped like a anvil! so MLF needed to be fired? and JH leaves to coach another team? it makes no sense how packer fans think! players make coaches, healthy The GBP's are a Super Bowl Roster with a coach who just needs a break!

  20. If we are stuck with it, here is an 18 games idea:

    – 9 weeks with a bye
    – 1 league-wide week off
    – 9 weeks with a bye

    Rosters
    – 55 non-QBs
    – 3 QBs (every team has to carry 3 QBs)

  21. I don't want Lafleur hiring buddies. I want him to go after the best DC available right now. As far as assistants go. Get rid of Butkus hire James Campmen. We need an Offensive Line with a nasty demeanor

  23. Great opening line we “really liked Hafley down here”….yeh ok like you have a clue …gave up 25 points in the 4th quarter to a divisional opponent that you’ve already seen twice a year which to blew a lead , never won a game since Parsons went down, had no answer how to get after the quarterback and repeatedly never came through in the clutch and never closed out games defensively allowing opponents to repeatedly drive the length of the field to score… Hafley was such a guru …yeh ok

  27. Adam Schefter has mastered the art of saying and knowing nothing . I HEAR it's a multi year deal, I BELIEVE it could be 3 years or more. BASED on the money he might be making 15 million a year. Just a good grift he has going on. He talks forever without any real information.
