GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers have finalized their coaching staff while announcing the hires of new position coaches Bobby Babich, Daniel Bullocks, Noah Pauley and Sam Siefkes.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur announced the moves Thursday.

Babich is Green Bay’s new secondary coach/passing game coordinator after spending nine seasons on Buffalo’s staff, including the last two as defensive coordinator. Bullocks, the new cornerbacks coach, had been a San Francisco 49ers assistant from 2017-25.

Pauley, who will coach Green Bay’s receivers, spent the last 13 seasons in the college ranks. He coached Iowa State’s receivers the last three seasons. Siefkes, a former Arizona Cardinals linebackers coach who spent last year as Virginia Tech’s defensive coordinator, will coach Green Bay’s linebackers.

Green Bay’s new quarterbacks coach is Luke Getsy, a former Las Vegas Raiders and Chicago Bears offensive coordinator who spent last season as a Packers senior assistant. Getsy previously was Green Bay’s quarterbacks coach from 2019-21. He also has the title assistant head coach of offense.

The Packers also hired Scott Fuchs as a defensive analyst, T.C. McCartney as offensive quality control coach and Will Smart as a defensive quality control coach.

Green Bay promoted DeMarcus Covington to outside linebackers coach/assistant head coach of defense, Vince Oghobaase to defensive line coach, Rob Grosso to assistant wide receivers coach, Cory Harkey to assistant special teams coach and Jeff Koonz to assistant special teams coach.

Oghobaase was Green Bay’s assistant defensive line coach the last two years. Grosso had been an offensive quality control coach for Green Bay since 2023. Harkey was a special teams quality control coach and Koonz was a defensive assistant last season.
