Those who wanted Rich Bisaccia fired got what they wanted. Sort of. I guess.<\/p>\n
By hook or by crook, Bisaccia is out in Green Bay. He\u2019s done. The man hired to fix the Packers\u2019 special teams but didn\u2019t will now go off to do whatever former special teams coaches do in retirement.<\/p>\n
Is that a good thing? Possibly. It\u2019s not like the Packers\u2019 special teams have been setting the world on fire, but they also haven\u2019t been horrible in the areas where the team actually tries to compete.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, shouldn\u2019t they try to compete in all areas of special teams?\u201d Sure, but you\u2019re preaching to the choir, and the Packers didn\u2019t show up to church today. There are clear organizational priorities affecting how the Packers perform on special teams, and those seem unlikely to change no matter who\u2019s running the show.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why it may not be that big of a deal that the Packers are getting into the special teams coordinator market a bit late. Whoever gets the job, be it a retread or a no-name up-and-coming youngster, is going to be limited by the same forces that prevented Bisaccia from putting his best players on the field to block on field goal protection or using an actual returner for kickoffs and punts.<\/p>\n
All that to say, whoever follows Bisaccia is probably going to put up pretty similar results \u2014 at best. Things could always get worse, and now that Bisaccia is the former special teams coordinator of the Green Bay packers, we\u2019re about to find out if they will.<\/p>\n
The player is Keisean Nixon, who has spent his entire career being coached by Bisaccia in some capacity.<\/p>\n
McKinney hauled in fewer picks last year, but nobody should be surprised by that.<\/p>\n
Quay Walker gets a mention here.<\/p>\n
