The offensive staff is likely going to be all-new.
A chapter in the illustrious history of the Green Bay Packers was turned this week with the hiring of Matt LaFleur as the team’s 15th head coach.
With the handshakes and introductions now behind him, LaFleur can focus on his first task and it’s a big one: building a staff.
The first reported of an expected many departures were the decisions to not retain special teams coordinator Ron Zook or wide receivers coach David Raih.
Those are the first two of what is expected to be a sizable purge of the coaching staff, especially on the offensive side of the ball. While not official,there is a strong possibility Mike Pettine will be kept on as defensive coordinator though what changes on his staff will occur remains to be seen.
It’s going to be an interesting couple of weeks in Green Bay as LaFleur builds his staff and that should give fans an idea of what the team could look like as they embark on this new era of Packers football.
There’s more on LaFleur beginning to build the coaching staff plus why the Packers still feel good about their top two cornerbacks in today’s cheese curds.

The writing was on the wall all season for Zook as the penalties and miscues piled up and it was stunning to see Mike McCarthy get fired before Zook. Now with LaFleur in charge, he wasted no time sending Zook packing.
