The Bears found their new offensive coordinator in Luke Getsy, and Chicago is hoping it’s a recipe for success for quarterback Justin Fields and the offense. - Getsy comes from Green Bay, where he served as the passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach and spent plenty of time with Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. - Rodgers had nothing but praise for Getsy and former offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who was recently hired by the Broncos as their new head coach. - “It’s fun coming to work,” Rodgers said, “and it’s because those guys have such a great presence in front of the room. So I think both Hack and Getsy can relate to the guys, they’re younger. …They can both lead and be in front of a room and captivate an audience.” - - Aaron Rodgers gives nice endorsement of #Packers off. coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and QB coach Luke Getsy. Would Rodgers follow Hack to the #Broncos if he got the job? #BroncosCountry @DenverChannel pic.twitter.com/5nbt6J0S4w - — Lionel Bienvenu (@lionelbienvenu) January 25, 2022 - - - There’s a belief that Rodgers could’ve played his last game with the Packers, where it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if he followed Hackett to Denver. Meanwhile, Getsy gets his opportunity to serve as offensive coordinator and a first-time play caller in the NFL. Simply put, there’s a lot of change on the way in Green Bay. - Getsy has spent his entire pro coaching career with the Packers, serving in a variety of roles on the offensive side of the ball. He joined the organization in 2014 as a quality control coach. From there, he’s coached the wide receivers and quarterbacks before being elevated to the passing game coordinator in 2020. - - List - - Bears assistant coach tracker: Who has joined Matt Eberflus' staff - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Bears Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Bears Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
