Packers Talk

Did the Green Bay Packers get it right with their latest defensive coordinator hire? In this episode of No Huddle Radio, we dive deep into head coach Matt LaFleur’s decision to bring in Jonathan Gannon to lead the Packers defense going forward — and whether this move truly puts the unit on the right track. After years of inconsistency, blown coverages, and postseason frustrations, the Packers are once again betting that a new voice, a new system, and a new philosophy can finally unlock the talent on this side of the ball.We break down Gannon’s defensive background, his schematic tendencies, and what his track record says about how aggressive — or conservative — this Packers defense might be in 2026 and beyond. Is Gannon the adaptable, modern defensive mind Green Bay needs, or is this another case of the Packers playing it safe instead of swinging big? We also discuss how much of this hire reflects on Matt LaFleur himself, and what it tells us about his vision for the team after recent playoff disappointments.
