Brandon Staley is scheduled for an interview with the Green Bay Packers, according to reports by The Athletic’s Dianna Russini and Matt Schneidman.

The interview pertains to the vacant defensive coordinator position within the Packers’ coaching staff.

The Packers recently parted ways with their former defensive coordinator, Joe Barry, and are eager to fill the position promptly.

Staley’s most recent role was as the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, though he was released during the 2023 season due to the team’s consistent underperformance. Over nearly three full seasons, he achieved an overall record of 24-24.

Prior to his tenure with the Chargers, Staley served as the defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams in 2020 and held the position of outside linebackers coach with the Denver Broncos in 2019.

Despite his departure from the Chargers, Staley remains highly regarded for his defensive expertise, and his wealth of experience could prove invaluable to any team.

Many fans will be sour about this move due to how Brandon Staley’s tenure with the Chargers went as a head coach. However, it’s very important to remember that Staley has always been a defensive mind. This could be exactly the move to take Green Bay’s defense to the next level.
