Green Bay Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia has issued a stark ultimatum amid mounting criticism of his unit's blunders, pledging to step down if they fail to turn things around in the Week 6 showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 65-year-old coach, a Packers stalwart since 2022, took full responsibility for recent mishaps that have plagued the team's kick coverage and punt returns.

The declaration comes after a string of special teams errors, including a blocked field goal attempt and multiple penalties in the Packers' 40-40 tie against the Dallas Cowboys. With the Packers at 2-1-1, these lapses have drawn ire from fans and analysts alike, threatening to derail Green Bay's NFC lead.

"I LOVE Green Bay I LOVE THIS ORGANIZATION," Bisaccia said passionately in a Thursday press conference. "MY TEAM GUYS GIVE THEIR ALL EVERY SINGLE DAY. IF SOMEONE HAS TO TAKE THE CRITICISM IT SHOULD BE ME NOT THEM." His words shielded his players while putting his job on the line, echoing his no-nonsense style from 42 years in coaching.

Bisaccia, who helped the Buccaneers win Super Bowl XXXVII and served as Raiders interim head coach in 2021, has overseen a Packers special teams unit ranked 15th in DVOA last year but struggling in 2025 with explosive returns and coverage breakdowns. "If we don't fix this against the Bengals, I'll walk away," he added, underscoring the urgency.

Head coach Matt LaFleur backed his coordinator, praising Bisaccia's passion: "Rich's fire is what we need. He's all in, and so are we." As the Packers prepare for Cincinnati, Bisaccia's pledge has galvanized the locker room, turning pressure into motivation.

With a 2-1-1 record and Super Bowl aspirations, the Packers can't afford more special teams woes. Will Bisaccia's gamble pay off in Week 6, or will it mark the end of his Lambeau tenure?
