GREEN BAY — Luke Getsy is returning to his roots and helping the Green Bay Packers after getting fired as Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator earlier this season. Getsy had worked on the Packers staff from 2014-17 and again from 2019-21. He was the quarterbacks coach on Matt LaFleur’s staff when Aaron Rodgers won back-to-back MVP awards in 2020 and 2021. Now Getsy is helping out from a different perspective by monitoring the Packers defense. Getsy attended practice Friday as the playoff-bound Packers (11-5) prepare for their regular-season finale against the Chicago Bears (4-12). Getsy was Bears offensive coordinator from 2022-23 and filled the same role with the Raiders this season. “It’s good to have him back around,” LaFleur said Friday. “He’s known as the mayor around here, so he’s got a lot of long, lasting relationships with a lot of people in the building, and he’s just a positive guy to be around. So it’s been good.” The Raiders fired Getsy along with quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello and offensive line coach James Cregg on Nov. 3 after a 41-24 loss at Cincinnati. Although Getsy’s background is as an offensive coach, he actually has been monitoring the Packers defense and offering his perspective. LaFleur said Getsy has been helping the Packers out for weeks, though this is the first week he was actually in Green Bay. “It’s always great to get a different perspective, maybe something that you haven’t seen,” LaFleur said. “I mean, I’ve worked with him previously, so just got a lot of trust in the guy and really value his perspective.” This isn’t the first time this year LaFleur has reached out to a fired former colleague for assistance. Former New York Jets coach Robert Saleh was at a Packers practice in October, two weeks after getting fired from his old job. Saleh’s background primarily is on defense, but he has been studying the Packers offense and giving his feedback. Saleh and LaFleur are good friends who roomed together while working as graduate assistants at Central Michigan about two decades ago, then worked together as Houston Texans assistants from 2008-09.
