US EditionPackers Coaching Staff Change Continues as Key Coordinator Steps Down
Rich Bisaccia steps down after four seasons with the Packers to focus on family, ending a tenure marked by special teams' mixed results despite individual player successes.
- On Tuesday, the Packers announced Rich Bisaccia stepped down as assistant head coach and special teams coordinator after four seasons, stating, `After taking some time to reflect over the last few weeks, I have made the decision to step down.`
- Hired to fix longstanding problems, Bisaccia joined LaFleur's staff after going 7-6 as Las Vegas' interim head coach in 2021 and added the assistant head coach title in March 2023.
- Despite some bright spots, special teams featured Keisean Nixon's All-Pro returns and Daniel Whelan's league-leading punting but costly errors like the Dec. 20 onside kick and playoff misses by Brandon McManus.
- With coaching changes already under way, the Packers create an immediate vacancy as Bisaccia departs, and LaFleur said `While we are disappointed to lose a person and coach as valuable as Rich, we respect his decision to step down from the Packers`.
- Turnover in the special-teams room continued as the new coordinator will be the fourth under LaFleur and Byron Storer left earlier this offseason, highlighting unit instability.

Some blame Micah Parsons‘ injury, whilst others think about what may have been had tight end Tucker Kraft stayed healthy for the whole season. But no one can argue that injuries did…
