Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports that Packers interim HC Joe Philbin will interview for the full-time job either today or tomorrow before president Mark Murphy and GM Brian Gutekunst travel to meet with external candidates Josh McDaniels, Dan Campbell and Matt LaFleur.
The list of reported interviews for the Packers includes:
- Former Colts & Lions HC Jim Caldwell (Interviewed)
- Former Colts HC Chuck Pagano (Interviewed)
- Northwestern HC Pat Fitzgerald (Expected)
- Patriots OC Josh McDaniels (Scheduled)
- Patriots DC Brian Flores (Scheduled)
- Saints assistant HC/TEs coach Dan Campbell (Scheduled)
- Steelers OL Coach Mike Munchak (Requested)
- Titans OC Matt LaFluer (Scheduled)
- Interim HC Joe Philbin (Scheduled)
Philbin, 57, began his NFL coaching career with the Packers back in 2003 as their assistant offensive line coach and managed to work his way up to offensive coordinator before departing for the Dolphins’ head-coaching job in 2012.
After four seasons in Miami, the Dolphins fired Philbin and he later took a job with the Colts as their assistant head coach & offensive line coach. The Packers brought him back as their offensive coordinator last year and he was elevated to interim head coach after Mike McCarthy was fired.
During his three-plus years in Miami, Philbin led the Dolphins to a record of 24-28 (46.2 percent) and was never able to produce a winning record. The Packers went 2-2 during his four games as interim head coach.
