Bisaccia steps down from roles with Packers

The Green Bay Packers will have to dip their toe back into the coaching pool after Rich

Bisaccia stepped down as assistant head coach/special teams coordinator.

 

The organization made the announcement Tuesday evening nearly 40 days after the Packers were eliminated by the Chicago Bears from the NFL Playoffs. 

 

Bisaccia led the special teams unit since he was hired in 2022. According to Packers.com, he helped the Packers rank No. 7 in the league over that span in field-position margin (plus-1.2), including top-10 finishes in 2023 (No. 8, plus-2.1) and 2024 (No. 5, plus-2.7). Punter Daniel Whelan and KR Keisean Nixon thrived under Bisaccia's leadership, but high-profile gaffes pushed fans against him.

 

Head coach Matt LaFleur praised Bisaccia in his statement, saying that "Rich was a tremendous resource to me and our entire coaching staff who had a profound impact on our players and our culture throughout the building. We can't thank him enough for his contributions to our team over the last four years." 

 

Bisaccia thanked the organization in his statement, but left the door open to return to coaching in the future.
