The Green Bay Packers made headlines on Monday with two significant coaching announcements: they retained special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia and hired former Chicago Bears coach Luke Getsy as a senior assistant.
Despite these moves, Packers fans appeared unimpressed. “Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia’s deal,” longtime Packers writer Tom Silverstein shared on X.

In the playoffs, the Packers were defeated by NFC Champion Philadelphia, who triumphed with relative ease during the NFC Wild Card round. Under new quarterback Jordan Love, who replaced the legendary Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay has made the postseason for the last two years. Love secured his first playoff victory against the Dallas Cowboys last year before the team lost to their playoff rival, San Francisco.
Competing in a tough NFC North division, Green Bay finished third despite a respectable record, trailing Detroit and Minnesota. Additionally, rival Chicago has improved after firing Matt Eberflus and hiring Detroit offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as their new head coach, while assembling a solid coaching staff.
Fans remain skeptical about the decision to retain Bisaccia after a disappointing special teams performance this season, and many are eager to see how these coaching changes will play out. It remains to be seen if LaFleur and the Packers will come to regret these choices.
