Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia is stepping down from his post in a move that head coach Matt LaFleur said left the team feeling “disappointed.”
Bisaccia, 65, has held the role for four years after having served as the interim head coach for the Raiders in 2021.
He had also held the title of assistant head coach since March 2023.
In a statement released through the team, Bisaccia said that he had been reflecting over the past few weeks, which led to the decision to step down.
“I am incredibly grateful to Matt LaFleur, Brian Gutekunst, Ed Policy and Mark Murphy for their unwavering trust and support throughout my time in Green Bay,” he said. “I am also thankful to the players for their consistent work and relentless effort to improve every single day. I would like to thank everyone in the organization for their dedication and commitment. The people in this building make it a special place to work.
“I want to also thank our fans and the people throughout the Green Bay community for their passion and love for this team. Coaching for the Green Bay Packers was truly an honor, and I will always be grateful for my time here. I look forward to whatever is next for me and my family, and I wish nothing but the best for everyone in the organization.”
During his tenure, Bisaccia, who has coached at the college or pro level every year since 1983, helped the Packers rank seventh in field-position margin during his four years in Green Bay.
The Packers were also tied for second in the league with 42 kickoff returns of at least 30 yards from 2022 to ’25.
“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. “Rich was a tremendous resource to me and our entire coaching staff who had a profound impact on our players and our culture throughout the building. We can’t thank him enough for his contributions to our team over the last four years.”
It’s the latest coaching change for the Packers ahead of the 2026 season, after defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley took the head coaching job in Miami, and several assistants went with him.
