Mennenga Fired After Dismal Performance by Packers’ Special Teams
GREEN BAY, Wis. – To the surprise of no one, Shawn Mennenga is out as Green Bay Packers special teams coordinator.
The move was first reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, and coach Matt LaFleur’s decision came after wrapping up meetings with his coordinators earlier in the day.
After a promising finish to last season, jump-started by the December addition of returner Tyler Ervin, Mennenga’s unit started slowly and only got worse as this season progressed.
The Packers finished 29th in Rick Gosselin’s annual special-teams rankings this season. Last season, as LaFleur’s choice as coordinator, Green Bay ranked 26th.
