Packers are exposed to growing danger as insane coaching cycle threatens to pull away another coordinator

The 2026 coaching cycle has been intense, to say the least. In addition to 10 head coaching positions that became open, a total of at least 21 teams will change offensive coordinators ahead of next season. The Green Bay Packers have already lost defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley to the Miami Dolphins, and the insane market puts them at risk of also losing offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich.

Stenavich could go elsewhere for a play-calling opportunity

At the moment, eight teams are still looking for new offensive coordinators — New York Giants, New York Jets, and Seattle Seahawks have CEO or defensive-minded head coaches who will soon look for new play-callers.

The Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears, and Los Angeles Rams need new OCs, but they also have play-calling head coaches like the Packers.

The Arizona Cardinals with Mike LaFleur, and the Las Vegas Raiders with Klint Kubiak will hire OCs, but it’s unclear at this point whether the new head coaches will call plays or not.

So far, Adam Stenavich only interviewed for the Tennessee Titans’ offensive coordinator job, but was bypassed in favor of Brian Daboll. The biggest risk of losing Stenavich now comes from the Seahawks, who already interviewed him for the OC position last year before hiring Kubiak. In 2025, Steno also interviewed for the Chicago Bears head-coaching position.

Matt LaFleur has already given indications that he will allow Stenavich to consider OC opportunities elsewhere if it’s a real promotion, with the possibility of calling plays.

The Packers have already lost two offensive-minded assistants this year. Quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion became the Philadelphia Eagles play-calling offensive coordinator, while defensive analyst Nathaniel Hackett (who’s an offensive guy) followed Hafley to the Miami Dolphins as a quarterbacks coach.

Adam Stenavich has been on the Packers’ staff since LaFleur’s first year in 2019. Initially an offensive line coach, Steno was promoted to run game coordinator in 2021 and to offensive coordinator in 2022 — but LaFleur still calls the offensive plays.
