Micah Parsons is not going to be the one to pick Jeff Hafley's replacement for the Green Bay Packers.

The decision as to who will be the team's next defensive coordinator will ultimately come down to head coach Matt LaFleur and one would imagine general manager Brian Gutekunst and team president Ed Policy may have a bit of a say as well.

As a player, this is a decision that is well out of Parsons' wheelhouse. As the Packers' star defensive player, though, and someone whom they devoted a ton of money and resources to, it would make sense if Parsons was at least happy with the decision the Packers made.

After all, having the stamp of approval from arguably the best defensive player of his generation, not named Myles Garret,t would be a great way for Green Bay's new defensive coordinator to start things out.

Interestingly enough, Parsons has said that he doesn't want to have a say in the matter. He does know what he'd like to see out of Green Bay's new defensive coordinator, though, and that's because he's been coached by some good ones in the past.

“I wouldn’t say I want a say,” Parsons said, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. “I would just say I’ve been around some good DCs. There’s been Dan (Quinn), ‘Zim’ (Mike Zimmer) and ‘Haf.’ I’ve been blessed in my career. I’d just say bring someone who cares about the players. I just want someone the players can relate to, that we want to risk it all for. We’re in battle together, whether you’re up in the booth and you’re leading the charge or whether you’re on the field leading the charge. We’re all together, so I just want to be in battle with someone who wants to go to battle with us.”

There's a whole list of candidates who could fit this bill, including two in-house options, but right now the biggest name to watch would be Raheem Morris, who was recently fired by the Atlanta Falcons.

He's failed in two head coaching stints, but he's won a Super Bowl as a defensive coordinator (with the Los Angeles Rams), and he is well-known for being a coach who players gravitate towards.

Before he was fired by the Falcons after compiling just a 16-18 record in two seasons, Morris had players in the Atlanta locker room stumping for him.

"I'm behind Rah," safety Jessie Bates said, according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN. "He hasn't changed throughout this whole year. He's the same guy every single day and we went to bat for him for a reason."

"I'm going to support Raheem no matter what," star running back Bijan Robinson had said. "So, I love him as a big brother, father figure, coach, everything, and just go from there."

Morris sounds exactly like the type of coach that a player like Parsons would love. Making matters more intriguing, Morris and LaFleur coached together in both Washington and Los Angeles.

Per Schneidman, LaFleur has said that Morris is "one of his closest friends” and “my guy.”

Throw into the fact that his experience as a head coach could be very valuable for LaFleur as an assistant, and everything would suggest that Morris would be a great fit for the Packers.
