Packers hire Anthony Campanile as linebackers coach, plan to move to 4-3 base

The Green Bay Packers have made changes to their defensive coaching staff and are planning to switch to a 4-3 base defense for the upcoming season. Anthony Campanile has been hired as the new linebackers coach, replacing Kirk Olivadotti. Campanile, who previously coached for the Miami Dolphins, will also serve as the defensive run game coordinator. The hiring of Campanile indicates a connection between him and defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, as they both have ties to Rutgers and Boston College. Jason Rebrovich, the former outside linebackers coach, will now be the defensive line coach, further suggesting the switch to a 4-3 base. Vince Oghobaase, who previously worked with Hafley at Boston College and the San Francisco 49ers, is also joining the Packers' defensive staff. The team will need to add depth to the linebackers position before practices begin. The switch to a 4-3 defense is notable, with players like Rashan Gary, Preston Smith, and Lukas Van Ness likely being referred to as defensive ends instead of outside linebackers.
