Report: Rich Bisaccia could have surprising landing spot after leaving Raiders

Rich Bisaccia won plaudits for his work as interim coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, and finds himself in demand for assistant coaching jobs. One contender in particular might have an offer to his liking.

Bisaccia is a serious candidate to become the special teams coordinator of the Green Bay Packers, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The Packers reportedly may be willing to make a significant contract offer to bring Bisaccia into the fold.

#Packers coach Matt LaFleur has been in talks with Las Vegas Raiders special teams coach / interim coach Rich Bisaccia bout becoming the #Packers' special teams coach, according to two sources. Packers will have to pay a lot to get him and they may be willing to do it.

Bisaccia was considered as a potential head coach by at least one team in addition to the Raiders. His reputation has gone up thanks to his work in Las Vegas, where his players clearly loved him. He has been a special teams coach in the NFL since 2002, so the Packers aren’t likely to find a more experienced candidate.

Green Bay’s special teams were a massive issue all season and played a major role in the team’s playoff exit. Bisaccia would be a clear move aimed at addressing those problems.
