Who Should Matt LaFleur Hire as Defensive Coordinator? | No Huddle Radio #254

January 23, 2026 by Packers Talk

With another Packers season in the books, attention quickly shifts to one of the most important offseason decisions Matt LaFleur will make: Who should be the next Defensive Coordinator in Green Bay? In this episode of No Huddle Radio, we take a deep dive into the candidates, philosophies, and risks surrounding the Packers’ search for a new leader on defense. 
–

The Packers’ defense once again failed to rise to the moment when it mattered most, putting added pressure on LaFleur to get this hire right. We examine what traits the next Defensive Coordinator must bring to the table—whether that’s aggressiveness, adaptability, player development, or simply the ability to make in-game adjustments that have been sorely lacking. From experienced NFL coordinators to rising assistants and potential outside-the-box hires, we break down who could realistically fit LaFleur’s vision and who should be at the top of the list. 
–

This conversation isn’t just about schemes or play-calling—it’s about trust, accountability, and whether LaFleur is willing to step outside his comfort zone to fix a defense that has consistently underperformed relative to its talent. Does Green Bay need a proven veteran voice, or is it time to gamble on a fresh defensive mind? And how much influence should LaFleur himself have over the defensive identity going forward?
