We finally got to hear from Jonathan Gannon!
The Packers hired their new defensive coordinator in late January after the departure of Jeff Hafley, but, for some reason, it took more than four months for the Packers to let him talk to the media.
Why? Who knows, and in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t really matter. It’s not like he was going to say anything particularly meaningful or insightful. In fact, you probably could have guessed pretty much the exact things he ended up saying. “We want to be
fast and physical.” Yeah, every defense does. “We want to take the ball away.” I’ve yet to see an NFL defense that didn’t. “We’re going to have a multiple front.” That’s life in the NFL in 2026; everyone plays that way.
This is not to take anything away from Gannon, and if you were excited to hear him speak, more power to you. Shoot, I was interested! I enjoyed listening to his thoughts, if only because this is the guy that’s going to be shaping what we hope is going to be a Super Bowl-caliber defense for the next few years, and hopefully longer. It pays to get to know that guy a bit.
But what were we really missing out on for the last four months? Not much. It’s just weird we had to wait this long.
