As I’ve done before, I am starting a rumor here that I’m hoping will spread to the Packers’ front office and lead to swift action. The rumor is this: Keith Butler (LB coach at Pittsburgh) will take over as the new defensive coordinator.
Keith Butler is someone I know virtually nothing about. However, I do know that he is the LB coach of the best LB unit in football and he has worked with Dick LeBeau. If we can’t just steal LeBeau with a $30 million, 3 year offer (which is what I’d offer him), the next best thing may be to tab his LB coach as our new defensive coordinator. I would consider hiring anyone who has MET Dick LeBeau.

The extreme clean out of existing defensive coaches is simply the new DC wants hi own people. Who has his own people available right now? Try Mike Nolan.
