Packernet Podcast: Green Bay Packers

The Packers made their biggest coaching move of the offseason, parting ways with wide receivers coach Ryan Mahaffey and hiring Penn State's Noah Pauley as his replacement. This isn't just any hire—Pauley is a rising star who interviewed for the 49ers offensive coordinator job last year, developed multiple high draft picks including Jayden Higgins and Jalen Knoll, and perhaps most importantly, coached Christian Watson at North Dakota State from 2019-2022. As a Minnesota native who grew up a Packers fan, Pauley brings both elite credentials and genuine passion for the green and gold. In this episode, we break down why this coaching change signals the front office's willingness to make bold moves when necessary, explore the potential impact on Watson's development and Matthew Golden's playing time, and discuss whether this hire indicates deeper frustrations with receiver development. We also cover extensive NFL news including the Eagles' continued organizational chaos with AJ Brown trade speculation intensifyi
