Based on this article, it sounds like potential coaches are
WR coach: Shawn Jefferson or Karl DorrellIn the past I remember wanting Jefferson a possible WR coach, though that was mainly based on a Calvin Johnson comments, of course Johnson could of been a bit biased since Jefferson was coach for his first 6 years in the NFL. Dorrell has been coaching for a very long time both WRs and QBs, and Rodgers might remember him as head coach as UCLA when he was at Cal.
OL coach: Adam Stenavich or Rick Dennison (or Frank Pollack (Pollack isn't in article, but Zero2Cool said interview expected)
Stenavich is from Marshfield, Wisconsin and was a PS/training camp player for the Packers in 2006 and 2007... and as well as a PS player under LaFleur with the Texans, Stenavich is fairly new to coaching, only since 2012 and only in the NFL since 2017. Dennison on the other hand has been coaching in the NFL since 1995 after his NFL LB career ended, but coaching OL since 2001... also Dennison has long been a member of Gary Kubiak staff and some think he might join the Kubiak with the Vikings (also reportedly Kubiak wanted him back with the Broncos and Elway (and fans) said HECK NO for some reason). Pollack was on the Texans with Kubiak and there during LaFleur's time there as Assistant OL coach, Pollack was also Assistant OL coach when the Cowboys OL became so dominant, then becoming Cowboys OL coach and onto the Bengals last year.
LB coach: Kirk Olivadotti (also possible Chris Shula explained below in the "Not in this article part)
The Packers interviewed Olivadotti... he's been with the Redskins his entire NFL career, since 2000, with a 2011-2013 college break coaching with Georgia. Could be looking elsewhere because the Redskins owner was reportedly looking into changing the defensive coaches.
The holdovers from MM's staff being Defensive Coordinator: Mike Pettine
DL coach: Jerry Montgomery
RB coach: Ben Sirmans
TE coach Brian Angelichio
Not in this article, but the Packers are reportedly waiting on two playoff teams season to be done... the Rams and Patriots... the Rams because the Packers were reportedly wanting to interview assist
LB coach Chris Shula (yes grandson of Don Shula).
The Patriots because the Dolphins new head coach is thought to be the Patriots LB coach and they haven't been able to decide what to do with their
Special Teams Coordinator Darren Rizzi. The Dolphins management reportedly wants to keep Rizzi, but they're leaving the decision up to the coaches. Rizzi reportedly has 7 other teams interested in him (including the Vikings and Lions), and the Dolphins are letting him interview in case he doesn't get retained and his first interview was with the Packers which some think might be a sign that the Packers are the favorites to get him if Dolphins let him go.
