Rich Bisaccia has unexpectedly stepped down as special teams coordinator and assistant head coach of the Green Bay Packers. The reasons weren’t immediately clear.
"While we are disappointed to lose a person and coach as valuable as Rich, we respect his decision to step down from the Packers," Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur said, via Packers.com, in making the announcement.
By most accounts, Bisaccia was beloved by players and staff alike. Bisaccia, who was the highest-paid special teams coordinator in the NFL, came to Green Bay from the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022 with high hopes of turning around an underperforming Packers special teams unit.
