GREEN BAY – Two key thoughts emerged from Head Coach Mike McCarthy’s initial discussion of the changes he made to his coaching staff for 2016.
The Packers’ top receivers wanted Luke Getsy to be their position coach, and McCarthy is interested in the different ideas his new hires will bring in the coming season.
McCarthy spoke on camera with Packers.com analyst Larry McCarren about the finalization of his coaching staff on Wednesday evening.
One of the most notable changes is the promotion of Getsy from offensive quality control coach to the wide receivers position.
The Packers didn’t have an exclusive receivers coach in 2015, as Alex Van Pelt handled both the quarterbacks and receivers, and the receivers faced a lot of criticism for their struggles against man-to-man press coverage.
