According to the official website reporter, multiple sources confirmed that the Green Bay Packers will hire former Las Vegas Raiders interim head coach Richie-Pisacia as the team's new special service coach. This is the Packer's third Special Service head coach in three years.
This past season, the Packers have achieved the league's best record of 13 wins and 4 losses in the regular season, but the Performance of the Special Agents is at the bottom of the league. The playoff Packers lost at home to their old rivals, the 49ers, and the Secret Service had an unshirkable responsibility.
The Packers' shots and kicks were blocked by the 49ers in the game, the first in the league in the past 33 years. The latter directly helped the 49ers equalize, laying the groundwork for the final kill.
The packers' special service pains didn't end with Laffler's coaching tenure. Since the last head coach, McCarthy, took office in 2006, the Packers' Task Force efficiency has only been in the league's top ten in 2007, and has squeezed into the top half of the league four times. In contrast, the Special Agents under Pisacia ranked in the top 10 six times in the same period, ranking eleventh in the league last season.
After the Special Agents fell to the playoffs again, the Packers' management was bitter and chose the experienced coach Pisacia to take charge of the Special Agents, intending to reverse the poor performance. The 61-year-old has spent almost a coaching career with the Task Force, having worked as a Special Agent coach for Cowboys, Pirates, Lightning and Raiders.
After the Raiders abruptly dismissed Jon Gruden last season, Pisacia was tasked with taking over the coaching whip and leading the team to a record of 7 wins and 5 losses. The last Raiders beat the Los Angeles Lightning in the same district to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2016, and Pisacia was the first interim manager to lead a team to the playoffs since Brian Arians in 2012.
Bringing in Pisacia, the packers were just the first steps in rebuilding the Task Force. Fans are tired of the Secret Service fancy crash show, and Laffler recognizes the harsh reality. At the press conference, he said he would refer to other teams and let the starting players take on more task force tasks.
"Look at how many starters the 49ers are playing in the secret service, and I'm going to do league-wide research on this topic in the offseason. Is such an arrangement risky? Of course. "In the game, the 49ers who completed the block twice were the team's starting points, Jimmy Ward and Jordan Willis.
Let me count how many people there are on the field
Even after leading the Raiders to the playoffs, the Raiders did not stay in Pisacia, choosing Patriot Offensive Coordinator McDaniels instead. He also attended several rounds of interviews during the offseason, but was not given the opportunity to coach. When it came to the packers to regain their old ways, the burden on Pisacia's shoulders was not easy.
Of course, Pisacia is not a god, and don't expect to be able to reinvent the packers' task force as soon as he takes office. But at least the boss won't let the low-level mistakes of the 10 members of the special service team play repeatedly. Packers fans have low expectations of the Task Force, thank goodness as long as they don't make mistakes at critical moments
