In a recent development, the Green Bay Packers have made significant changes to their coaching staff. Head Coach Matt LaFleur announced on Thursday that Chris Gizzi, the strength and conditioning coordinator, has been dismissed from his role. Gizzi, a former linebacker for the Packers in 2000-01, had been an integral part of the strength staff for a decade, serving as the coordinator for the last five seasons.
LaFleur expressed gratitude for Gizzi’s dedication and contributions to the team’s success, stating, “We appreciate Chris for his dedication and contributions to our success over his time with the Packers. We wish Chris and his family the best moving forward.”
This decision to part ways with Gizzi follows closely on the heels of the Packers’ dismissal of Joe Barry as defensive coordinator after three seasons. The team appears to be undergoing significant changes in its coaching personnel, signaling a desire for a fresh approach and potentially reshaping the dynamics within the organization.
