It’s where he rose through the ranks, spending eight NFL seasons building his résumé for a job offer that he couldn’t refuse.

It’s also where Aaron Rodgers is.

The path back to Green Bay has opened for Ben McAdoo, the franchise where he coached first tight ends then quarterbacks from 2006-13. The Packers fired offensive coordinator Edgar Bennett on Wednesday night and quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt.

The Packers are overhauling their structure after a 7-9 disappointment, with former GM Ted Thompson moving to an advisory role and several coaches on both sides of the ball being let go.

That could be McAdoo’s chance to reclaim a Green Bay job, where he worked alongside Rodgers for all but the star quarterback’s rookie season. McAdoo was promoted to QB coach in 2012, then left for the Giants’ offensive coordinator spot in 2014. He then took Tom Coughlin’s job in 2016 before this season’s utter collapse that cost him his job.

McAdoo is reportedly a target for the Broncos’ quarterback coach opening, but according to 9 News in Denver, he would prefer a coordinator position, not wanting to plunge all the way back down the NFL ladder.
