Green Bay Packers assistant head coach and special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia is stepping down from his role effective immediately, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The news comes as a significant blow to the organization as it begins preparations for the 2026 NFL season.
In an official statement released by the Packers on Wednesday, Bisaccia indicated that the decision followed a period of personal reflection. "After taking some time to reflect over the last few weeks, I have made the decision to step down as the assistant head coach and special teams coordinator of the Green Bay Packers," Bisaccia stated. He expressed his gratitude toward head coach Matt LaFleur, General Manager Brian Gutekunst, and the Green Bay front office for their support during his tenure.
Bisaccia joined the franchise in 2022 and was widely credited with revitalizing a special teams unit that had historically struggled. His veteran leadership and role as assistant head coach made him one of the most influential figures on LaFleur's staff. The team has not yet provided details regarding a search for his successor or potential internal candidates to fill the vacancy.
The move marks another major coaching change for the Packers this offseason. As the NFL calendar moves toward free agency, the team must now find a way to replace a key coordinator and locker room leader.
