Overview

  • Head coach Matt LaFleur announced the move Tuesday, saying the team respects Bisaccia's decision after four seasons that began in 2022 and included an assistant head coach title from 2023.
  • Special teams errors loomed large in 2025, including a blocked potential game-tying field goal in Week 3, a returned blocked extra point in Week 4, a failed onside kick recovery in Week 16 and three missed kicks in the wild-card loss to the Bears.
  • LaFleur praised Bisaccia's leadership and cultural impact in the building, and Bisaccia's statement did not mention retirement.
  • The departure adds to staff turnover after defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley left for Miami; former Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon was hired to run the defense and assistant ST coach Byron Storer left for the Browns.
  • The Packers face a compressed hiring window and have started interviews, with reported candidates including Cameron Achord, Kyle Wilbur and Tom McMahon.
