In 2019, the Green Bay Packers hired Shawn Mennenga instead of Darren Rizzi. Last year, they promoted from within, giving Maurice Drayton the job.
It’s clear that each of Matt LaFleur’s two special teams coordinator hires have been failures. You’ve seen the results on the field — that’s not something that needs to be relitigated. What’s done is done, and the plan moving forward is what needs to change.
The Packers have seen too many games lost because of these units to continue pinching pennies on their coaching hires at that position. It’s time to finally pony up some cash to bring a coordinator with a proven track record into the organization to lead the Packers’ special teams; at this point, even mediocre special teams would be a welcome improvement over what this team has displayed recently.
