Packers’ Matt LaFleur asked about his potential 2026 staff

Story byJustis MosquedaSun, January 11, 2026 at 11:45 PM UTC·4 min readGreen Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur still doesn’t want to talk about his contract situation in Green Bay, at least in front of the media. On both Saturday, after the team’s loss to the Chicago Bears, and Sunday, he said some version of “now is not the time to talk about this” when peppered by questions about whether he will be the team’s head coach in 2026. What he would dabble in, though, is hypotheticals about his 2026 staff. When asked if he will bring back all of his assistants next year, if he is back, he said that’s something the team is working through right now.

Key Highlights

  • His response: “All options are on the table.”This is notable, considering the way things have been done in Green Bay.
  • Most of the staff are from internal promotions.
  • Below is a breakdown of how many years the Packers’ coaches have held (at least) positional coaching jobs with another NFL team:Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich: 0 yearsPassing game coordinator Jason Vrable: 0 yearsQuarterbacks coach Sean Mannion: 0 yearsRunning backs coach Ben Sirmans: 4 years (a holdover who was originally a member of Mike McCarthy’s staff)Receivers coach Ryan Mahaffey: 0 yearsTight ends coach John Dunn: 2 yearsOffensive line coach Luke Butkus: 0 yearsDefensive Coordinator Jeff Hafley: 6 yearsDefensive line coach/run game coordinator DeMarcus Covington: 6 yearsPassing game coordinator Derrick Ansley: 6 yearsLinebackers coach Sean Duggan: 0 yearsDefensive backs coach Ryan Downard: 0 yearsSpecial teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia: 20 yearsThe Packers haven’t exactly built an experienced staff of grizzly vets, except for Bisaccia.
  • Bisaccia has held an on-field coaching gig with non-Green Bay programs for 20 years before his stint with the Packers.
  • The rest of Green Bay’s staff, 12 coaches combined, have 24 years on their resumes. If there were an internal promotion to defensive coordinator, it would probably come by way of Covington or Ansley, who have prior NFL experience as defensive coordinators.
