In case you missed it, the Green Bay Packers hired a new defensive coordinator . And while the good news (for the time being) is that it was *NOT* Al Harris, it turns out that the Chicago Bears defensive backs coach could be on the radar of a former Packers head coach.

Day 7 of the Chicago Bears offseason. I’d rather be preparing for a NFC Championship Game battle against the Seattle Seahawks. Instead, I’ll spend a chunk of my day staring out the window thinking about what could have been. Sigh . The Green Bay Packers hired a new defensive coordinator.
