The Green Bay Packers have a new defensive line coach. His name is Vince Oghobaase, and he is a familiar face to defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, as both coaches worked together for four seasons at Boston College. Milwaukee Journal Sentinal’s Tom Silverstein reported the news.
Role and system
Vince Oghobaase will replace Jerry Montgomery as the Packers defensive line coach. Montgomery had been with the Packers since 2015, but was let go and got immediately hired by the New England Patriots.
“I’m naturally a jovial, energetic guy,” Oghobaase said in 2020, when he got hired by Boston College. “So whenever someone is excited about a team, it will permeate naturally. It’s very critical, being a younger staff and having a young football team. It’s important to have energy every day. It starts with the staff, in order to permeate through the whole organization.”
When he arrived at Boston College, Oghobaase talked about the system they intended to run — and maybe it’s also something that the Packers will execute moving forward.
