The Green Bay Packers announced the hire of Derrick Ansley as passing game coordinator (defense) on March 12, 2024.

Ansley joins the Packers after working for the Los Angeles Chargers for the past three seasons, first as secondary coach (2021-22) before being promoted to defensive coordinator (2023). He coached a secondary in 2022 that featured Pro Bowl safety Derwin James Jr., who earned second-team All-Pro honors from The Associated Press. Before joining the Chargers, Ansley spent two seasons (2019-20) as the defensive coordinator/defensive backs coach at the University of Tennessee. In his first season leading the Volunteers' defense, his group featured 11 first-time defensive starters, including five freshmen, and ranked in the top 25 nationally in total defense, passing defense and interceptions. Ansley's first NFL experience came in 2018 as the defensive backs coach for the Oakland Raiders, helping them increase their INT total from the year prior by nearly double digits (nine). In 2016-17, Ansley coached the defensive backs at the University of Alabama, helping the Crimson Tide rank No. 1 in the nation in total defense and scoring defense both years. He tutored DB Minkah Fitzpatrick to a pair of All-America seasons, including a unanimous selection following the 2017 season. It was Ansley's second stint at Alabama after working there as a defensive graduate assistant (2010-11). Between the two, Ansley was at the University of Tennessee coaching defensive backs (2012) and at the University of Kentucky as defensive backs coach (2013-14) and co-defensive coordinator/secondary coach (2015). He broke into the coaching ranks at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Ala., working with the defensive backs for five seasons (2005-09).
