Let\u2019s break down the new offensive, defensive and special teams staff.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list _1nfb3k4i feuejx0 ls9zuh1\">\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Offensive Coordinator: Adam Stenavich<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Passing game coordinator: Jason Vrable<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Quarterbacks coach\/assistant head coach &#8211; offense: Luke Getsy<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Running backs coach: Ben Sirmans<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Wide receivers coach: Noah Pauley<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Assistant wide receivers coach: Rob Grosso<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Tight ends coach: John Dunn<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Offensive line coach: Luke Butkus<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Assistant offensive line coach: Eddie Gordon<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Pass game specialist\/game management: Connor Lewis<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Offensive quality control: T.C. McCartney<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Offensive assistant (fellowship): Jeremiah Kolone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Former Packers quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Luke Getsy returned to the team in 2024 as a defensive consultant and then as a senior offensive assistant in 2025. He\u2019s not only been named the quarterbacks coach, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-news\/79302\/packers-promote-luke-getsy-to-quarterbacks-coach\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">which was previously reported<\/a>, but also got the assistant head coach tag, too. Getsy replaces Sean Mannion, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-coaching-staff\/78935\/packers-sean-mannion-named-philadelphia-eagles-offensive-coordinator\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">who was named the Philadelphia Eagles\u2019 offensive coordinator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Noah Pauley was poached from Penn State to be Green Bay\u2019s next receivers coach, and the Packers likely paid a decent buyout to acquire him, per sources in the college football world. Pauley was previously the receivers coach at North Dakota State, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-coaching-staff\/79112\/green-bay-packers-to-hire-christian-watsons-college-coach\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">overlapping with Christian Watson<\/a>, and Iowa State, before taking the Penn State job when Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell moved schools this offseason. Pauley will replace Ryan Mahaffey, who was allowed to leave to become the run game coordinator and tight ends coach on Mannion\u2019s staff. In the eyes of the NFL, there are only three tiers of coaches: head coaches, offensive and defensive coordinators and then assistants. Head coach Matt LaFleur could have blocked the Mahaffey-to-Eagles move, since, in the eyes of the NFL, it was considered a lateral assistant coach move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Otherwise, the Packers\u2019 offensive staff, as far as the on-field coaches go, remains. The team does not have a run game coordinator, but they haven\u2019t since the 2021 season, when Adam Stenavich, still the offensive line coach, had the title. Presumably, Stenavich fills some of the role of run-game coordinator as a non-play-calling offensive coordinator with an offensive line background.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">On the assistants to the assistants level, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-news\/80987\/packers-hire-another-offensive-assistant\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Packers brought in T.C. McCartney<\/a>, a former tight ends and quarterbacks coach at the NFL level, as a quality control coach.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list _1nfb3k4i feuejx0 ls9zuh1\">\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Defensive coordinator: Jonathan Gannon<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Defensive line coach: Vince Oghobaase<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Outside linebackers\/run game coordinator\/assistant head coach &#8211; defense: DeMarcus Covington<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Linebackers: Sam Siefkes<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Secondary\/pass game coordinator: Bobby Babich<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Cornerbacks: Daniel Bullocks<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Defensive quality control: Jamael Lett<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Defensive quality control: Will Smart<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Defensive analyst: Scott Fuchs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The only coaches who remain on the Packers\u2019 2026 defensive staff from last year are DeMarcus Covington, Vince Oghobaase and Jamael Lett. Both Covington and Oghobaase got promotions, as Covington moved from defensive line to outside linebackers (yet another sign that the team is moving to a 3-4 defense) and Oghobaase went from an assistant defensive line coach to the defensive line coach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Usually, teams only split outside linebacker and inside linebacker duties if they\u2019re a 3-4 team. 4-3 teams typically have a single linebackers coach handle the entire group. Green Bay hasn\u2019t outright said that they\u2019re going to be a 3-4 defense under new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, who has yet to have a press conference despite going into the second month of the job, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-news\/79719\/interesting-nuggets-from-brian-gutekunsts-combine-press-conferences\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">general manager Brian Gutekunst hinted at it several times at the combine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Oghobaase was brought to Green Bay from Boston College by Jeff Hafley, but he was not taken to Miami when Hafley, previously the defensive coordinator of the Packers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-coaching-staff\/78493\/dolphins-hire-packers-dc-jeff-hafley-to-be-their-next-head-coach\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">left for the Dolphins\u2019 head coaching opportunity<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-news\/78907\/packers-hire-wisconsin-native-as-new-linebackers-coach\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gannon hired linebackers coach Sam Siefkes<\/a>, who was recently the defensive coordinator of Virginia Tech, to coach his unit again. Siefkes was Gannon\u2019s first linebackers coach with the Arizona Cardinals, when Gannon was the head coach. Packers linebackers coach Sean Duggan left to become the defensive coordinator of Hafley\u2019s Dolphins this offseason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-news\/78846\/packers-hire-bobby-babich-former-bills-dc-to-coaching-staff\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bobby Babich will coach the secondary<\/a> and carry the title of pass game coordinator, replacing Derrick Ansley, who was allowed to leave for a lateral job as the defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys this offseason. Ansley and Covington were considered to be the Packers\u2019 top defensive assistants in 2025 by some in NFL coaching circles. Babich was the defensive coordinator for the Bills in 2024 and 2025 after previously serving as the team\u2019s linebackers coach from 2022 to 2023 and had worked in their secondary for the prior five seasons. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/2024\/1\/24\/24049761\/2024-nfl-defensive-coordinator-interview-tracker-updates-green-bay-packers-news-rumors\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Babich was also interviewed for the Packers\u2019 defensive coordinator vacancy in 2024<\/a>, which resulted in the hiring of Hafley.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-news\/79020\/packers-will-hire-former-49ers-dbs-coach-daniel-bullocks-per-report\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Daniel Bullocks<\/a>, who previously spent the 2017 to 2025 seasons with the San Francisco 49ers in various defensive back coaching roles, is Green Bay\u2019s new cornerbacks coach. On paper, this should allow Babich to spend more time with safeties, a position he\u2019s coached in the past, instead of cornerbacks, a position he hasn\u2019t. Bullocks replaces <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-news\/78784\/packers-lose-dbs-coach-ryan-downard-to-jeff-hafleys-dolphins\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ryan Downard<\/a>, who had been with the Packers since 2018 and was allowed to leave for a lateral role with Hafley\u2019s Dolphins this offseason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-coaching-staff\/79281\/packers-hire-a-college-football-pass-rush-specialist\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Will Smart was hired away from Vanderbilt<\/a>, where he was a pass-rush specialist, to become a defensive quality control coach.

Scott Fuchs, a long-time college offensive line coach, joined Green Bay as a defensive analyst, which is an interesting fit.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list _1nfb3k4i feuejx0 ls9zuh1\">\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Special teams coordinator: Cam Achord<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Assistant special teams coach: Cory Harkey<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">Assistant special teams coach: Jeff Koonz<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-coaching-staff\/79856\/packers-hire-cameron-achord-as-special-teams-coordinator\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cam Achord<\/a>, formerly a New England Patriots special teams coordinator, replaced Rich Bisaccia, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-news\/80013\/rich-bisaccia-moved-on-from-the-packers-before-his-clemson-offer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">who stepped down and then took the special teams coordinator job at Clemson<\/a>, this offseason. Cory Harkey, who was third in the pecking order in the Packers\u2019 special teams room last year, was promoted to an assistant role, which he shares with Jeff Koonz, who was previously a defensive assistant for the Packers after coaching special teams and defense at the college level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Months after other teams have made their official staff announcements for the 2026 season, the Green Bay Packers&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":667701,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[1318,229253,19629,1317,1315,1316,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-667700","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-green-bay-packers-coaching-staff","10":"tag-green-bay-packers-news","11":"tag-ncaa","12":"tag-ncaa-football","13":"tag-ncaafootball","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116258062184671964","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=667700"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667700\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/667701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=667700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=667700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=667700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
