Rich Bisaccia is officially out in Green Bay — and the kicker? He had to fire himself because the Packers refused to do it. Ryan breaks down the statements from both Bisaccia and Matt LaFleur, reads between the lines on what really happened, and then dives headfirst into the full list of potential replacements. From NFL assistants to college standouts, no stone is left unturned. Why Bisaccia's departure exposes a troubling loyalty problem within the Packers' coaching staff, and what his own quotes reveal about how he felt about his performance The case for Devin Fitzsimmons (Seahawks), Joe Hastings (Colts), and other NFL assistants who could modernize Green Bay's special teams overnight A deep dive into college options including Jeff Banks (Texas), Marty Biagi (Notre Dame), Kenny Perry (Texas Tech), and more — plus whether the college-to-NFL jump even matters Why the Packers' backup special teams coach already got poached by the Browns before Bisaccia even left, and what that says about Green Bay's decision-making The special teams era of pain is over. Now the real question is whether the Packers have the guts to hire someone who can actually fix it.

Ken and Lima dive into one of the Browns biggest question marks surrounding a marquee player heading into the 2026 season
On this episode of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Lance Riesland joins Dan Labbe to break down the Browns' hiring of new defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg. Lance dives into what he's seen on film, explaining how Rutenberg's philosophy is similar to Jim Schwartz's with its aggressive front, but will feature more schematic differences. The guys also tackle the challenges Rutenberg faces as a first-time play-caller and discuss the decision to move on from Schwartz. They look at specific players, including what Martin Emerson Jr.'s role could be in a crowded cornerback room and the potential for Denzel Ward to travel with top receivers more often. Finally, they shift to the offense, exploring what new head coach Todd Monken will prioritize this offseason, from fixing a potentially depleted offensive line to maximizing the talent of receivers like Isaiah Bond.
