Mike Pettine?
Are we going to hire a new defensive coach, or is fat mike going to seize that position too?
Packers are interviewing him tomorrow. http://packerswire.usatoday.com/2018...ening-tuesday/
Packers also talking to Fangio, maybe? : http://www.packersnews.com/story/spo...ob/1014063001/
Whitt interviewed Sunday. Perry and Moss today.
Piece says the Packers will talk to him via one source, another says likely but nothing setup yet. Given the contract expiring tonight, it might be bad form to have direct contact prior to midnight. Here's hoping they know his agent.
Gus Bradley and Steve Spagnuole also still available.

While the #Bears would like to keep DC Vic Fangio — and new coach Matt Nagy has made moves to do so — the #Packers loom and hope to set an interview. He is considered Green Bay's top choice. NFC North battle.

#Packers have spoken with #Giants DL coach Patrick Graham about a spot on Mike Pettine’s staff. He’s may be a candidate for LBs. He’s very highly regarded. Began in the #Patriots system.

Update: He is interviewing this morning.

Can confirm @lanceallan 's report that former #Giants asst. Frank Cignetti has been hired by #Packers coach Mike McCarthy as QBs coach.
That name makes it sound like he backed up Gifford at quarterback for the Giants in the 50s and played a mean deep safety.
I am vastly more excited about a Giants D coach than a Giants O coach. This seems to be fallout from McAdoo leaving.
Hope there's no move to bring McAdoo back. I liked that guy a lot less when I figured out who he was.
Evidently we hired Frank Gignetti as our new QB coach.
He not only has the stink of McAdoo's Giants offense, but also Jeff Fisher's Rams offense. Woof.

He was quarterbacks coach under Mike Nolan in San Francisco in 2007 and returned to the NFL for good in 2012, taking over as quarterbacks coach under Jeff Fisher. He was promoted to offensive coordinator in ’15, but then fired after 12 games with the Rams' offense ranked 31st.

One logical hire for Mike Pettine would be his former DC in Cleveland, Jim O’Neil, who was fired as 49ers DC after the 2016 season. He could teach the staff Pettine’s system.

#Packers assistant coach Joe Whitt Jr. will remain with the team in an elevated role of defensive passing game coordinator. It's a promotion for him and a logical move after not getting the D-coordinator job. Should help his career a lot.
