The Green Bay Packers have officially confirmed that special teams coordinator and assistant head coach Rich Bisaccia is stepping down from his position, according to a statement released by the team and reporting from Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur addressed the departure in a statement, acknowledging the significant impact Bisaccia had on the organization over the last several seasons. "While we are disappointed to lose a person and coach as valuable as Rich, we respect his decision to step down from the Packers," LaFleur said. He further praised Bisaccia as a "tremendous resource" to the entire coaching staff.
Bisaccia joined the Packers in 2022 following a successful stint as the interim head coach for the Las Vegas Raiders. During his tenure in Green Bay, he was credited with stabilizing a special teams unit that had struggled in previous years. In addition to his coordinator duties, his role as assistant head coach made him a vital part of LaFleur's inner circle.
The team has not yet named an interim replacement or provided a timeline for hiring a new coordinator. The loss of such a veteran presence marks a significant change for the Packers' coaching staff as they look toward the upcoming season.
