Bisaccia's new challenge: ending Packers' special-teams woes

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — New Green Bay Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia has shown he’s capable of doing the improbable.

He took over as Las Vegas interim head coach following Jon Gruden’s midseason exit last fall and steered the Raiders to their first playoff berth in five years. Now he’s back in an assistant coach’s role facing another major challenge, revamping a special teams unit that has ranked among the league’s worst for multiple seasons.

Bisaccia welcomes the responsibility.

“If you can get good people at a great place, then magic can happen,” Bisaccia said Tuesday.
