Packers hire Getsy as QBs coach

The Green Bay Packers have hired former staff member Luke Getsy as their quarterbacks coach, head coach Matt LaFleur announced Tuesday. Getsy will be a familiar face for Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Getsy was part of Mike McCarthy's coaching staff from 2014-17.

He spent 2018 as the offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach at Mississippi State. In college, he played quarterback at Akron. In his previous tenure in Green Bay, Getsy, 34, worked as a quality control coach the first two seasons, then as receivers coach from 2016-17.

Rodgers took over as Green Bay's starting quarterback in 2008, with McCarthy as head coach. One of Getsy's tasks will be to help Rodgers adjust to a a new offensive system. LaFleur was the offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans in 2018. He already hired former Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett to fill the same position in Green Bay.
