The Green Bay Packers know that they’re going to be a target for other teams as long as they’re successful. That goes for both their players and their coaches. When you have someone making an impact on your roster, sometimes the best way to keep them is to promote them.
That is exactly what Green Bay did.
Breaking: Packers Retain And Promote Big Time Coach (Report)
A report from NFL Network indicates the Green Bay Packers are “expected” to promote Sean Duggan as linebackers coach, filling the void left by Anthony Campanile’s departure for Jacksonville:
The decision is anything but a surprise.
When Hafley was defensive coordinator at Ohio State in 2019, Duggan was a graduate assistant. When Hafley became head coach at Boston College in 2020, he brought Duggan to be his linebackers coach. When Hafley became the Packers’ defensive coordinator in 2024, Duggan followed him as a defensive assistant.
“Coach Haf and I, we always sat next to each other on gameday in the press box,” Duggan said during his introductory news conference at Boston College in 2020. “Developed a relationship off the field, just talking ball.
“He’s one of the smartest coaches and one of the best people I’ve ever been around. Just getting to know him and picking his brain on certain things was an unbelievable opportunity for me at Ohio State. When he asked me to come back, it was like, ‘Pinch me.’ I jumped at the opportunity.”
There will be big shoes to fill for Duggan. During Campanile’s tenure as linebackers coach and defensive-run game coordinator, the Packers went from having one of the worst run defenses in the NFL to one of the best. Under LaFleur, the Packers ranked 32nd in rushing yards allowed per carry during the first five seasons. The Packers finished third in 2024.
It was clearly important for Green Bay to keep Duggan on staff. Adding Duggan to the defensive staff is the second big move. Former Patriots defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington has been named the defensive line coach.
