Green Bay Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia has stepped down from his position after just one season with the team. Bisaccia, a veteran NFL coach, joined the Packers in 2025 but is now leaving the organization.

Why it matters

Bisaccia, 62, has over 40 years of coaching experience in the NFL, including stints as a special teams coordinator and interim head coach. He joined the Packers in 2025 after spending the previous season as the interim head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.
