There's a lot of info. in this Post in regards to the direction new DC Mike Pettine might go and rounding out his Defensive Coaching staff.
"Whitt will be coaching a different system that requires the cornerbacks to play press coverage a good portion of the time." - JSO article on Joe Whitt's promotion
This may be the best news of the entire offseason, since no Packer defensive back or linebacker on the roster seems to know how to play zone defense anyway.
I am afraid to go look up the QB coach's former offenses performance. I know two of them and I don't want to know the rest.
McCarthy hires too many former buddies. At least Pettine gets around that.
Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
#Packers are hiring former #Giants DL coach Patrick Graham. He may coach LBs. That’s what he coached with the #Patriots. Highly regarded young coach who got high recommendation from Ben McAdoo to Mike McCarthy.
If he coaches LBs, who is catching D line? They are both gone.

Brad Biggs @BradBiggs
Coordinator watch: #Bears waiting on Vic Fangio.
Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
This is really interesting. Would indicate the #Packers still had a chance at Fangio when they hired Pettine. He has not returned to the #Bears as some reported.

This Guy survived to today:
Winston Moss - Associate Head Coach/Linebackers
Mike McCarthy Fired this Guy ( Assistant Linebackers Coach Scott McCurley ) who looked after Coaching the ILBer's, or as I understood that to be true..
It's difficult to say, the way their doing things now; if they have a specific plan for a ILBers Coach.

Jim O'Neil, former DC for Pettine in Cleveland when MP was head coach, is going to the Raiders.
Have the Packers hired Whitt's replacement yet?
If not, and since Al Harris - dude sure knows the art of press coverage - is under contract with the Chiefs, McCarthy should hire moi to coach the corners. I was a shutdown corner in HS, and I shut down Darren Charles in a game. Plus, I play alotta Madden, so I know defense.

According to Jason Wilde of the Wisconsin State Journal, the Packers are not expected to retain associate head coach and linebackers coach Winston Moss after McCarthy passed him over for the open defensive coordinator job.
Fangio is staying with the Bears as DC. You had to figure the Packers knew this was likely and went with Pettine rather than stringing this out.
Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde
ESPN's @AdamSchefter reports that ex-#Packers QBs coach Alex Van Pelt lands in Cincinnati, where he'll work with @andydalton14. Guessing @AaronRodgers12 would give a strong recommendation.
Here's what we have as of Sunday 13 Jan. 2018@6:11 AM CST:
We have Mike Pettine and (Joe Philbin - Reportedly) as DC and OC:

Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy hired a New QB's Coach Frank Cignetti Jr, previously of the New York Giants.

The rest and noticeably missing is a new a new DL Coach after the release of Mike Trgovac:
Also missing (and *** based on the Defensive Coaching Structure for the 2017 Season ***) are the following:
*** ... Read more: http://www.packers.com/news-and-even...#ixzz544FcdyMn
** Defensive Coordinator
** Defensive Quality Control
** Assistant Linebackers
** Defensive Front Assistant
I think the corners could actually be a pleasant surprise next year if they're forced to press every play. I am so sick of playing 5 yards off and playing soft.
Randall is very physical and a former safety. For whatever reason, I think Rollins will be dramatically improved if he plays outside and bumps. King is hugely long and looks like he'd naturally be very phyiscal. House is a solid bump-and-run player.
Maybe it's just off-season optimism but add another high pick to this group and I think they're okay. I would not object at all to making a big splash and signing the top CB on the FA market. It'll be expensive but any player that we find that is a stud at the position will receive market rate after a few years anyway.
Rollins had some trouble outside previously due to speed. Maybe he can learn to bump and run.
Darren Perry to be interviewed by Texans. Not for DC.
If Perry leaves and Whitt gets the entire defensive backfield, we will get a clean test of why D communications back there so often looked troubled.
Have all of the assistant openings been filled?
There are some rumors out there saying that Whitt won't coach the corners anymore due to his promotion to "passing game coordinator."
I've shipped my resume out to McCarthy. Fingers crossed. Trust me, I know how to teach the press coverage, as I've spent hours watching films of Al Harris on youtube. Hire me and King will morph into a shutdown corner in no time.
What some folks refuse to believe is that in addition to Hatley, brasses like Schneider, Dorsey, McKenzie, the Young Wolf and probably even the German Shepard (Gutey) all consulted Sherman. Still, it was Sherman's show and his show was a carbon copy of Wolf's.
(PS: McKenzie, Scheider, Dorsey are all GM in the NFL today. You don't see them subscribing to that Draft and Develop bull manure.)
Belichickism would be called Wolfism today if Wolf would've just drafted Randy Fucking Moss instead of that bum Vonnie Holiday. Favre and Moss in their primes together in the Green and Gold, man, the Packers would've won a tons of Super Bowls.
not exactly. Sherman fell in love with players and maneuvered to get them, often overspending. Wolf recognized that draft picks fail at predictable rates, and was more careful with them. Sherman had more misses than hits, and moving up to get guys cost him numbers. Still, even in his two worst draft years he found some good players (Wells and Williams at the bottom of 2004, Nick Barnett and Hillenmeyer in 2003). Just far too few to maintain a roster. Wolf's second last season (2000) was probably the second best of his life - it carried the Packer through 2004. Shermy need a year like that in 2003 or 2004 to remain competitive.
Randy Moss was 1998's Aaron Rodgers.
