Why the Green Bay Packers Haven’t Hired a DC Yet — Rob Demovsky Explains on Wilde & Tausch

With Jesse Nelson filling in for Jason Wilde, Jesse and Packers Hall of Famer Mark Tauscher are joined by ESPN NFL Nation Packers reporter Rob Demovsky to break down where the Packers’ defensive coordinator search truly stands — and why it’s taking longer than some fans expected.

Demovsky explains why Jim Leonhard remains a major piece of this process, noting that Matt LaFleur is unlikely to make a final decision until he’s able to talk with Leonhard, who is currently on the Broncos’ staff. Rob also addresses the uncertainty around interview timing rules, why the length of the search may actually increase Leonhard’s chances, and why there’s no grudge despite reports he previously turned down the job.

The conversation also covers Jonathan Gannon’s interview, what LaFleur appears to value in a defensive coordinator — particularly candidates with defensive back backgrounds — and why former Packers corner Al Harris may be a more serious candidate than fans realize. Plus, Demovsky explains why the Packers’ next hire could still come from outside the obvious names, just like past “out-of-nowhere” coordinator decisions.

If you’re wondering why the Packers haven’t hired a DC yet — and who’s actually leading the race — this segment lays it out clearly.
