Bears hire Packers' Getsy as OC
The Chicago Bears hired former Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Luke Getsy as their offensive coordinator, the team announced Sunday.
Getsy will be part of a new regime in Chicago after the club hired Ryan Poles as its general manager and former Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus as its head coach.
Getsy has served as the Packers' quarterbacks coach since 2019. He also enjoyed an earlier stint with the club as an offensive quality control coach and a wide receivers coach from 2014-2017.
The 37-year-old will be tasked with the development of former first-round quarterback Justin Fields. Fields threw for seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions across 12 appearances during his rookie campaign.
Getsy will be the second Packers offensive assistant to depart the team after former offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett was named the head coach of the Denver Broncos. Green Bay will promote offensive line coach Adam Stenavich to fill Hackett's role, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero report.
