The Green Bay Packers coaching staff continues to change. After they hired Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley to be the new defensive coordinator, they have now added another assistant on that side of the ball. The Packers are hiring former Miami Dolphins linebackers coach Anthony Campanile, per Tom Silverstein of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
‘Pretty big coup for #Packers coach Matt LaFleur and DC Jeff Hafley. They are expected to hire former #Dolphins LBs coach Anthony Campanile, a source said. The #Giants had interviewed Campanile for their DC job and the #Eagles wanted him as a linebackers coach, the source said.'
Campanile will be the Packers run game coordinator and LBs coach. Jason Rebrovich will transition to the defensive line coach in a series of changes. As Silverstein reports, these suggest that Packers coach Matt LaFleur is attempting to trot out a 4-3 scheme.

On the same day, reports came out that former Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry was heading to Miami to be the Dolphins' new LBs coach, so Campanile and Barry switched teams on the same day in a surprising turn of events.
The Packers are aiming to return to the playoffs after Jordan Love's impressive play earned them a trip this past season, and Matt LaFleur is doing what he can on the coaching front.
