The Green Bay Packers have confirmed that special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia will return for the 2025 season, despite ongoing challenges with the unit’s performance. Bisaccia, widely respected for his leadership and experience, joined the Packers in 2022 with high expectations of revitalizing a historically inconsistent special teams group. While progress has been made in some areas, critical lapses in key games have continued to raise concerns.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur expressed confidence in Bisaccia, emphasizing his value to the coaching staff. “Rich is one of the best leaders I’ve ever been around,” LaFleur stated. “He brings energy, accountability, and a wealth of knowledge to our team. While we’ve had some setbacks, I believe we’re heading in the right direction under his guidance.”

Under Bisaccia’s watch, the Packers’ special teams showed flashes of improvement, particularly with the emergence of returner Keisean Nixon as a dynamic playmaker. However, the unit has also been plagued by inconsistencies, including missed field goals, penalties, and coverage breakdowns. Critics have pointed out that these issues have cost the team valuable field position and momentum in critical moments.

Despite the struggles, Bisaccia’s ability to connect with players and foster a culture of accountability has earned him the trust of the organization. Known for his no-nonsense coaching style, Bisaccia has been tasked with developing younger talent and instilling discipline across the unit.

The Packers’ decision to retain Bisaccia signals their belief in his long-term impact and ability to turn the special teams into a strength. As Green Bay looks to build on its successes and address its shortcomings, Bisaccia’s leadership will be pivotal in ensuring the team’s overall competitiveness.
