Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Mike Pettine will not return to the team in 2021, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. 

Pettine’s contract expired after the end of the 2020 season.

The Packers hired Pettine to replace Dom Capers in 2018. Green Bay’s defenses have ranked 29th, 15th and 17th in Football Outsiders’ Total DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average) metric, respectively, from 2018-20.

Green Bay also ranked seventh-last in takeaways in the NFL last year with 18.
