Before becoming a true hero in the Packers’ unexpected run to the divisional round of the NFC playoffs, Love had a rollercoaster regular season. This might pave the way for a faster timeline for the team going ahead.
Recently, the Packers hired Boston College’s Jeff Hafley as their new defensive coordinator to replace Joe Barry; however, it seems that Green Bay’s search extended far beyond just the collegiate level.

He had options if the 31-year-old former linebacker hadn’t been promoted from inside linebackers coach,” Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 stated on X, the social media site that was once known as Twitter. “According to a league source, Orr was offered the position of defensive coordinator by the #Packers, but he chose to stay in Baltimore.”
The Packers’ defense was shaky throughout the postseason but was dominant during the team’s shocking blowout win over the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card round of the NFC playoffs, before performing admirably against the San Francisco 49ers for most of the game and then relinquishing some backbreaking drives toward the end of the contest en route to the loss.
