persiandud Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 It's down to Jim Leonhard if he wants the job, and then Ejiro Evero What do we think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathstar Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I forgot this is the Packers and it’s likely the first choice turns the job down, leading to a narrative that Ball didn’t want to pay him, and the second choice takes the job but every time the defense gives up 30 the narrative will come back out that we could’ve had the first choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't sound right at all. If that was correct then it means he was offered the job whilst Phillips was still the coordinator. Phillips didn't leave until 2020. If the writer made a mistake and meant to say 2020 then that is interesting. It would mean McVay offered the job to Leonhard which was turned down and the job was given to Staley without much consideration for Evero. The very next year the coordinator position opened up again and McVay chose to hire Morris, again without much consideration for Evero. I guarantee McVay would've told LaFleur all about Leonhard. For the Packers it seems Leonhard is again further ahead of Evero. Evero may be incredibly knowledgeable but clearly there's something lacking about him. Leonhard must be a very impressive person to get job offers from both McVay and LaFleur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sources said Pettine was told to play man coverage instead of zone and another source said Pettine misunderstood LaFleur. Either way, LaFleur had a timeout left and could have stopped play before Brady threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Scotty Miller. LaFleur blamed himself in his season-ending news conference, but the impression after the game was that he was laying blame at Pettine’s feet and Leonhard may not feel good about that given his friendship with Pettine. QBs audible at the line of scrimmage all the time. Do defensive leaders not do the same? I just wonder why no one on the D realized they were in the wrong call and needed to change it. I know sometimes the personnel on the field may not be ideal but wouldn't you still realize you needed to drop someone else back to help King. What's the dynamic in this situation? The players expect King to just make the play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I watch the replay, I wonder if King was unsure. He seems to be looking to the inside while Miller slips by him to the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King *had to know* he was on an island. He *had to know* he couldnt let Miller get behind him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugger Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 If indeed Leonard was offered the job, did Jimmy turn it down? I'm beginning to believe MLF is waiting to interview assistants from both SB teams before making a firm decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL hates for teams to make announcements prior to the Super Bowl .. so the Packers will probably wait until Monday or Tuesday to announce anything.

I didn't think about that. If we offered Leonard the job I'll be happy about that. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrimiv Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) I won't pretend to be upset that Leonhard won't be the new DC I wonder how much his background/friendship with Pettine affected his decision. I have to think Leonhard went straight to the source for some insight into what to expect if he accepted the DC job in GB.
