It looks like Matt Eberflus is getting the guy to run his offense as ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted out that Packers’ quarterbacks coach and passing-game coordinator Luke Getsy is expected to be hired as the Bears’ new offensive coordinator.
Getsy has spent his entire NFL coaching career in Green Bay joining the Packers as an offensive quality control coach in 2014. He worked his way up to wide receivers coach before taking a year away from the team to be the offensive coordinator at Mississippi State University. He returned to Green Bay in 2019 as the quarterbacks coach and added the passing-game coordinator title to his job for the following two seasons.
The Packers have been a top ten passing offense in each of Getsy’s two years as passing-game coordinator, helping them to earn the top-seed in the NFC and setting up quarterback Aaron Rodgers for a potential fourth MVP award.
Getsy’s departure leaves holes for Green Bay at two offensive positions. The Packers have lost former-offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who took the position of head coach for the Broncos and now are expected to be without their quarterbacks coach and passing-game coordinator.
It’s expected that Eberflus will consider Getsy’s input in putting together the rest of the offensive staff. We wrote earlier about the Bears’ interest in Browns’ offensive line coach Bill Callahan and a few other expected hires for Chicago. Eberflus’ first NFL staff is starting to come together nicely.
Gonna be just a little different going from Rodgers to Justin Fields…..
Probably a lot better then going to Jordan Love.
Considering trading Fields was seen a potential chip for a new coach..he’ll probably be gone too..so whatever..
Haha yea sure whatever you say. Neither Poles nor Eberflus want to trade Fields
Yeah, that makes sense, give up on a QB with untapped potential whose 1 year of play was under a Coach who was in over his head and is costing you the #7 pick in this year’s draft.
Yeah, you are right, he will be gone.
That is just a moronic statement. If anything, this move seals the deal with Rodgers leaving either by trade or retirement. Why would he play for a front office he hates and deal with a new OC and Quarterbacks coach?
Justin Fields is not going anywhere. People need to stop thinking that he is. They will try to move higher priced players like Khalil Mack before Fields get moved.
Hope they move Tarik as well. Now that Herbert is there, I think he might be the odd man out
No way Mack gets moved now. Tampa-2 needs strong pass rush from four.
I don’t think they would have any takers for Cohen.
This is the best news Jimmy Graham has seen since there was a sale on Ensure meal supplement.
Love this signing! Should definitely help Fields out
