One of the biggest tasks for the new Green Bay Packers coaching staff is to turn around the special teams unit. That job now belongs to Shawn Mennenga. New Head Coach Matt LaFleur hired Mennega to replace former specials teams coordinator Ron Zook.
The Packers special teams unit ranked near the bottom of the league last year. Former Head Coach Mike McCarthy kept Ron Zook on staff longer than he should have. The special teams unit was horrendous throughout Zook’s tenure leading the unit.
The special teams unit is a good indicator of the depth that your team has.
