The Packers ignored their special teams problem until it was too late for the 2021 season. They began fixing it with the hiring of Rich Bisaccia.
Bisaccia, who finished last season as the Raiders’ interim head coach, goes way back with General Manager Brian Gutekunst. Bisaccia and Gutekunst’s father, John, coached together at South Carolina.
“We’re definitely going to have to do some different things to become better in that area, because it’s certainly something that’s kind of dragged on here longer than we wanted to,” Gutekunst said, via Wes Hodkiewicz of the team website.
