The Green Bay Packers will have one of the most desirable head coaching positions on the market, and they apparently have their eyes on a clear target.
Multiple reporters say that New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is their leading candidate for the job. Cheesehead TV’s Zach Jacobson reported that McDaniels is a “clear-cut leading candidate.”
Spoke to a source close to the #Packers’ organization tonight who told me that Josh McDaniels is currently the one clear-cut leading candidate to be the team’s next head coach and could have a deal in place as early as within the next two weeks.

The Packers reportedly have already requested interviews with Pats coordinators McDaniels and Brian Flores. Rob Demovsky also said McDaniels is high on the team’s list.

McDaniels had a previous unsuccessful stint as the Denver Broncos’ head coach before returning to the Patriots’ organization. He took the Indianapolis Colts job last season before changing his mind, leading Frank Reich to take the job. He reportedly will be “picky” about his next gig. Working with Aaron Rodgers would seem to be ideal.
