Breaking news: The Packers DC candidate list was released after a successful interview

Currently, the Green Bay Packers have initiated interviews with four potential candidates to fill their defensive coordinator position: former head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, Brandon Staley; Buffalo Bills linebackers coach, Bobby Babich; Dallas Cowboys defensive line coach, Aden Durde; and Denver Broncos defensive backs coach, Christian Parker. The question arises as to which candidate you would prefer to see leading the defensive plays for the Green Bay Packers in 2024.

Let’s delve into a brief overview of each candidate:

Staley, having roots in the Vic Fangio coaching philosophy, shares similarities with Joe Barry’s defensive approach in Green Bay. Barry was previously Staley’s linebackers coach during Staley’s tenure as the defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams. Staley has already arranged interviews for both the Packers and the Miami Dolphins’ defensive coordinator positions.

Babich, hailing from a football family with his father being a former NFL defensive coordinator, has interviewed for roles with the Packers and the Dolphins, as well as the New York Giants’ defensive coordinator position. He is also considered a potential successor in Buffalo, particularly if the Bills decide to part ways with their current defensive coordinator, Leslie Frazier. Buffalo is renowned for its long-standing implementation of zone defense strategies.
