The Green Bay Packers Coach in 2019 Will Be … Brett Favre?

As Mason Crosby's 49-yard attempt in week 13 to tie the Cardinals and send the game to overtime sailed wide of the uprights, head coach Mike McCarthy probably had a feeling he was walking off his squad's home turf for the final time. Fired in what felt like minutes after the playoff-crushing 20-17 loss, fans and oddsmakers alike are pondering who the next Green Bay Packers coach will be.

There are some interesting candidates below ranging from former pro coaches to offensive coordinators to a stud in the Midwest preparing for the college football playoffs. Here are some of the more intriguing gentlemen rumored to be in the running.

Josh McDaniels: Currently the offensive coordinator in New England, McDaniels compiled an 11-17 record as the head coach in Denver from 2009-10 before his firing 11 games into his second season.

John DeFilippo: The Minnesota offensive coordinator recently received a vote of confidence from head man Mike Zimmer, which more often than not results in a firing soon thereafter.

Lincoln Riley: This might be the most exciting name on the list. Riley is 24-3 in two years at Oklahoma with back-to-back playoff appearances on his resume. He currently brings home a whopping $4.8 million per year; would Green Bay be willing to exceed it?

Brett Favre: Can't anything happen with the Packers without their famous gunslinger getting into the mix somehow?
