Getsy first started out in coaching at the college ranks, most notably at schools such as Pitt, his alma mater of Akron, and Western Michigan. He moved to the pros in 2014 when he joined the Green Bay Packers as an offensive quality control coach. From there, he spent time as the team’s quality control and receivers coach and after a brief stint at Mississippi State, returned to the Packers, settling in as the quarterbacks coach in 2019.
As the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator under Matt LeFleur, Getsy worked closely with Aaron Rodgers, who wound up winning back-to-back MVPs the last two seasons. It’s odd to say, but Green Bay enjoyed a bit of a renaissance at the quarterback position, with Rodgers playing some of the best football of his career.
In 2021, the Packers passing offense was in the top 10 of the NFL during yet another NFL North title run and Rodgers was as efficient as he could be, leading the league in quarterback rating and QBR for the second year in a row. Getsy was also instrumental in getting running backs Aaron Jones, Jamaal Williams, and AJ Dillon involved in the passing game over the last few seasons. Now, Getsy will take those plans and work to implement them with the Bears offense in 2022.
