Packers' special-teams coordinator hunt narrows to veteran retreads

With Rich Bisaccia out, Green Bay’s search for a new special-teams coordinator faces a thin market: nine former NFL ST coordinators have already found new roles in 2025, and only two fresh faces exist (Byron Storer and Anthony Levine). Among the available 2024–25 candidates, Matthew Smiley has the strongest five-year DVOA track record (14.7), but he’s been out of the league since 2024; the rest range from middling to underwhelming. The Packers are likely stuck with veteran retreads late in the offseason, rather than finding a standout replacement.

Raiders Move Forward With Klint Kubiak as Front-Runner After Second Interview

Raiders are moving toward hiring Klint Kubiak, with a second interview scheduled and broad belief he’s the frontrunner; Davis Webb has withdrawn from contention, and radio host JT the Brick contends Kubiak may not need another interview, though the team plans a deeper discussion (potentially about Tom Brady’s role) before finalizing a deal, which cannot be completed until after the Super Bowl; risk remains he could return to Seattle before then.

Webb also interviewed with the Ravens and Bills, and the move could position him to become Broncos OC (succeeding Joe Lombardi), while the Raiders may explore other options such as Klint Kubiak.
