Report: Packers lose key offensive coach to division rival

The Green Bay Packers have had a ton of loss since falling to the San Francisco 49ers last weekend.

Now, yet another key offensive coach is leaving. To add insult to injury, the hopeful candidate to replace Nathaniel Hackett — who took the head coaching job with Denver — is headed to the Pack’s division rival.

“Packers’ QB coach Luke Getsy is expected to leave Green Bay for the Bears’ offensive coordinator job, per league sources,” Adam Schefter tweeted on Saturday night. “Packers now will be losing Nathaniel Hackett and Getsy, leaving holes in their offensive coaching staff”

Chicago Bears made Green Bay Packers assistant top target

Earlier on Friday, it was reported Packers pass-game coordinator Luke Getsy could be a candidate to become Chicago’s offensive coordinator and play-caller, according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer. Getsy has been with the Packers since 2014 — with a stop at Mississippi State in 2018.

Later in the day, longtime Green Bay Packers writer Tom Silverstein reported the Bears had officially made an offer to Getsy.

On Thursday, the Bears became the second team to make an offseason hire by inking a deal with former Indianapolis Colts’ defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus to lead the organization.

With a defensive-minded head coach taking over a team with a young, talented first-round quarterback in Justin Fields as the hopeful future franchise passer, it appears the new Chicago Bears front man isn’t wasting time to address his development.
