The Green Bay Packers’ search for a new special teams coordinator continues on, with new names added to the list of candidates every day. Thursday brought the news of yet another name, this one with a wealth of experience in that role at the NFL level.
But questions remain about the Packers’ overall organizational approach to special teams personnel. Does this team need to invest more in players who are more dedicated to special teams? Was that part of the reason for Rich Bisaccia’s late departure?
And if the answers to those questions are both yes, will the team actually dedicate more resources to that phase of the game?
The return game, in particular, has struggled in recent years since Keisean Nixon was moved off kickoffs. That phase was a bit rough last season, but punt returns were even worse — the Packers ranked dead last in average punt return yardage at just 5.6, compared to a 23rd-place ranking on kickoff returns.
This team has been searching for answers on special teams for well over a decade. Here’s hoping they find some in 2026.
