Green Bay, Wisconsin – The Green Bay Packers are weighing a significant decision within their coaching staff as the organization considers formally accepting the resignation of special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia, sources around the league indicate. In parallel, Green Bay has begun internal and external evaluations on possible replacements — with one familiar name quickly emerging as a strong candidate: Chris Banjo.

Bisaccia’s future has been under scrutiny since the Packers’ postseason exit, where special teams again became a focal point of criticism. While Bisaccia brought experience and credibility when he joined Green Bay, the unit continued to struggle in high-leverage moments, renewing internal conversations about direction, accountability, and long-term philosophy. League sources suggest the organization is now open to a transition if it believes a new voice can better align with Matt LaFleur’s evolving vision.

As Green Bay surveys the landscape, Banjo stands out as a compelling option — not only because of his current résumé, but because of his deep ties to the franchise.

Banjo, who currently serves on the special teams staff with the New York Jets, is widely regarded as one of the league’s rising special teams coaches. A former Packers safety and core special teams contributor from 2013 to 2017, Banjo understands both the culture and expectations inside the building at Lambeau Field. His familiarity with the organization is viewed internally as a potential advantage, especially if Green Bay prioritizes continuity alongside reform.

Around league circles and NFL offseason trackers — including ongoing discussions among analysts and fans — Banjo has quietly gained traction as a future special teams coordinator. While much of the speculation has lived within league forums and team-specific discussions, it reflects a broader belief that Banjo is nearing the next step in his coaching career.

One factor boosting his profile is his mentorship lineage. Banjo is considered an understudy of Mike Westhoff, the legendary special teams coach whose influence shaped multiple elite units across the NFL. Coaches familiar with Banjo’s work ethic and preparation describe him as detail-oriented, demanding, and modern in approach — traits Green Bay may seek after years of inconsistency in the third phase.

From a strategic standpoint, hiring Banjo would also fit a familiar Packers pattern: bringing back former players who understand the locker room, the city, and the expectations that come with the “G” on the helmet. For a roster entering a pivotal transition phase, leadership credibility matters as much as scheme.

No decision has been finalized, and the Packers are expected to proceed deliberately rather than react emotionally. But as the offseason unfolds, momentum appears to be building toward change. If Bisaccia’s resignation is accepted, Chris Banjo represents a blend of past and future — a former Packer with modern coaching chops — and a name to watch closely as Green Bay reshapes its special teams identity.
