Mike Pettine - C - Free AgentESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Packers will interview ex-Browns coach Mike Pettine for their defensive-coordinator vacancy.

Pettine and Packers coach Mike McCarthy have never worked together, but both are Pennsylvania-raised and spent time at Pittsburgh in the early-'90s. Pettine has been out of the league since being fired as the Browns' head coach following the 2015 season. He ran solid defenses in Buffalo and New York as one of coach Rex Ryan's righthand men. Pettine has run 3-4 fronts in the past.

Out of football since 2015...LOL...

I think its a bold and necessary move for them as the organization is viewing it big picture: championships. Aaron Rodgers isn't getting any younger, so this is designed to bump them up a level sooner rather than later. Some risk for sure, but I'm guessing they feel the upside is greater now than before. A retooling more than rebuilding. We'll find out if it is successful or not soon enough.
