The veteran coach expressed that the decision was not made lightly but was necessary to address pressing personal matters. Bisaccia, who joined the Packers in 2022 and quickly made his mark, emphasized the importance of focusing on his personal life at this time.
Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur and General Manager Brian Gutekunst expressed their full support for Bisaccia, highlighting his contributions to the team and acknowledging the difficult nature of his decision. “Rich has been a key part of our coaching staff, and his impact on our special teams has been profound. We fully support him and wish him the best as he takes this time to focus on his personal life,” said LaFleur.
