There were times during the Green Bay Packers season that it felt like Matt LaFleur was on one of the best teams in the NFC. On a good day, it looked like the Packers might even be able to compete for the Super Bowl. Injuries played a major factor in the team's success, as there are no replacements for Tucker Craft and Micah Parsons.
Now the Packers are looking to evaluate how they can bounce back with a strong all-around effort in 2026, when Kraft and Parsons are expected to return to the field. Only now, the Packers must find a new special teams coordinator.
The team's assistant head coach/special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia is stepping down from his position, the coaches said Tuesday. Bisasia has been an active football coach every season since 1983, but is now taking a break on his coaching career.
Bisaccia's career includes becoming the interim head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021, leading them to a respectable 7-5 record and a postseason appearance following the sudden departure of Jon Gruden. He has also been an assistant head coach for five different NFL teams.
Now 65, the Yonkers, New York native is prioritizing his health rather than going through the hardships of another rollercoaster season. Perhaps this is the end of Bisasia's NFL career, or perhaps we'll hear from him in the future. Either way, the Packers need a new special teams coordinator for 2026.
