Aaron Rodgers Sounds Off On Current Packers Coach Interviewing For Head Coaching Job

Aaron Rodgers has had some high praise for coaches who have moved on from the Green Bay Packers.  Mike McCarthy and Nathaniel Hackett are two that come to mind in recent memory.  There is a coach on the Packers’ current staff who may be the next to move on to another prestigious position.  Special Teams Coordinator Rich Bisaccia is reportedly a finalist for the Head Coaching Position in Indianapolis.

Aaron Rodgers Endorses Rich Bisaccia As An NFL Head Coach

The Indianapolis Colts are in the middle of their head coaching search after a disappointing 4-12-1 record in 2022. As owner Jim Irsay and general manager Chris Ballard continue to trim down their list of finalists, a plethora of candidates outside of interim coach Jeff Saturday have begun to gain steam.  Rich Bisaccia has been named one of the finalists for the position.  Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had some glowing remarks about Bisaccia when he heard he was a finalist:

“If anyone ever called me as a reference, one name that has been floating around out there who I would give a ringing endorsement to is Rich Bisaccia,” Rodgers said on The Pat McAfee Show. “I’m a tremendous, tremendous fan of his. He is a prototypical leader who wants to be respected more than he’s liked. And I think that from a starting point creates an accountability in whatever room you’re controlling. Whether that’s the entire room, or a position room, or a phase of the game — like offense, defense, and special teams. And then you throw in there an incredible ability to control the room with his speech, very thoughtful individual, very sharp, and then the love that he brings as well I think is just such a perfect combo.”

Rich Bisaccia turned around one of the worst special teams in the league in 2022.  Highlighted by the All-Pro Keisean Nixon, the Packers’ special teams was no longer a liability for the team this past season.  In fact, they were a strength.  This all came after Rich Bisaccia was named the interim head coach for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021.  If the Packers lose Bisaccia this off-season, it will certainly be felt at 1265 Lombardi Avenue.
