Packers bring back Philbin to run offense
The Packers have rehired Joe Philbin as offensive coordinator, hoping he can bring another Super Bowl championship to Green Bay.
The team announced the hire Wednesday along with Mike Pettine as defensive coordinator.
Philbin is a former Miami Dolphins head coach, but he also spent 2007-11 as Green Bay’s offensive coordinator. In that time, the Packers won the Super Bowl after the 2010 season and were third in the NFL in points per game (28.3), touchdowns (267), passing touchdowns (170) and net yards per game (372.8).
Pettine is a veteran defensive coordinator who also was head coach in Cleveland from 2014-15.
