Packers unload two of their coordinators

Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Mike Pettine won’t return to the team next season and special teams coordinator Shawn Mennenga has been fired after the Packers’ second straight NFC title game loss last Sunday.

ESPN reported that Pettine’s contract expired at the end of this season. The moves come after the Packers gave up a 39-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady to Scotty Miller with 1 second left in the first half of a 31-26 NFC championship game loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

LIONS: Duce Staley, Mark Brunell, Mark DeLeone and Dom Capers have been added to new head coach Dan Campbell’s staff. Staley joins as running backs coach and assistant head coach. Brunell will be the team’s quarterbacks coach, and DeLeone will coach inside linebackers. Capers was hired as a senior defensive assistant.
