Luke Getsy begins his eighth season with the Packers and his first as senior assistant after being named to the position on Feb. 15, 2025.
In his third stint with the team, Getsy was originally hired by the Packers on Feb. 7, 2014, and served as an offensive quality control coach for two seasons (2014-15). He coached Green Bay's wide receivers for two seasons (2016-17) and then rejoined the team in January 2019 when he was named quarterbacks coach by Head Coach Matt LaFleur. He coached the quarterbacks for three seasons (2019-21), adding the title of passing game coordinator for the final two years.
Getsy returns to Green Bay after spending the past three seasons in the NFL as an offensive coordinator (Chicago, 2022-23; Las Vegas, 2024), helping the Bears rank No. 1 in the league in rushing offense (159.2 ypg) and No. 2 in yards per carry (4.96) in 2022-23. Chicago's 5,413 rushing yards in Getsy's two seasons running the offense were the Bears' most over a two-season span since 1985-86 (5,461).
In 2023, Getsy guided a Chicago offense that ranked No. 2 in the NFL in rushing offense (141.1 ypg) and time of possession (31:58) and tied for the league lead in runs of 10-plus yards (74). WR DJ Moore posted a career-high 1,364 receiving yards and a career-best eight TDs on 96 receptions (14.2 avg.) while TE Cole Kmet registered a career-best 73 catches for a career-high 719 yards (9.8 avg.) and six TDs.
In his first season running the Bears' offense in 2022, Getsy helped guide the team to a franchise-record 3,014 rushing yards and a league-best average of 177.3 rushing yards per game. The Bears led the league in yards per carry (5.40 avg.), the top single-season mark in franchise history, and tied a team record with seven 200-yard rushing games on the season. QB Justin Fields posted a career-high 1,143 rushing yards, the second most by a quarterback in NFL history behind only Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (1,206 in 2019).
In his two seasons as the Packers' passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach (2020-21), Getsy helped guide QB Aaron Rodgers to back-to-back NFL Most Valuable Player awards and first-team All-Pro honors from The Associated Press. Rodgers led the league in passer rating in both of those seasons, including a 121.5 rating in 2021 that ranks No. 2 in NFL history behind only his own 122.5 rating in 2011. Rodgers led the league with a franchise-record 48 passing TDs and set a team single-season mark with a 70.7 completion percentage in 2020. In 2021, WR Davante Adams set a single-season team record for receptions (123) and receiving yards (1,553). In 2020, Getsy helped guide an offense that led the league in scoring (31.8 ppg), set an NFL record for red-zone TD percentage (80.0 pct., No. 1 in the NFL since 1981) and posted the team's highest third-down percentage since 1970 (49.4 pct.).
In his first season leading the Packers' quarterback room in 2019, Getsy helped Rodgers earn his eighth career Pro Bowl selection after throwing for 4,002 yards and 26 TDs with four INTs, his second consecutive season with 4,000-plus passing yards, 25-plus passing TDs and four or fewer INTs, the only QB in NFL history to achieve those totals in a single season. Rodgers led the league in INT percentage (0.70), the second- best single-season mark in team history, and tied for the NFL lead with 12 zero-INT games.
In his lone season at Mississippi State in 2018, Getsy helped the Bulldogs rank No. 2 in the Southeastern Conference in rushing offense (223.6 ypg, No. 20 in the nation) and yards per carry (5.66, No. 12 in the nation). MSU rushed for 300-plus yards in four games on the season, the most in the SEC and tied for No. 13 in the FBS. Four different Bulldogs combined for an SEC-best 13 individual 100-yard rushing games, led by QB Nick Fitzgerald (seven). MSU was tied for No. 1 in the FBS in fumbles lost with only three on the season and was tied for No. 3 in the country with just nine total fumbles.
As wide receivers coach with the Packers in 2016-17, Getsy worked with Adams, who was the only player in the NFL with 70-plus receptions and 10-plus receiving TDs in both of those seasons and led the league in receiving TDs (22) over that span. Adams led the team with 74 catches for a team-high 885 yards (12.0 avg.) and 10 TDs in 2017 on his way to earning Pro Bowl recognition for the first time in his career.
In Getsy's first year as receivers coach in 2016, the Packers were one of two teams in the NFL (New Orleans) to have three wide receivers (Jordy Nelson, Adams and Randall Cobb) with 60-plus receptions and 600-plus receiving yards. After missing the 2015 season due to a knee injury, Nelson was named AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year after starting all 16 games and leading the team in all three receiving categories with 97 receptions for 1,257 yards (13.0 avg.) and 14 TDs. Nelson led the NFL in receiving TDs and Adams (12) was tied for No. 2 as they became only the second teammate duo in franchise history with 12-plus TD catches each in the same season (Nelson and Cobb, 2014). In 2015, Getsy was part of an offensive staff that helped the Packers register eight zero-turnover games, tied for the best mark (2009) in franchise history to that point (since 1933). In his first season in Green Bay in 2014, he was part of a staff that helped the Packers lead the league in scoring (30.4 ppg) and tie for No. 1 in the NFL in fewest giveaways (13).
Getsy spent the 2013 season coaching wide receivers at Western Michigan, tutoring WR Corey Davis as he earned second-team All-Mid-American Conference honors and was named Freshman of the Year in the conference after catching 67 passes for 941 yards (14.0 avg.) and six TDs. Davis also earned Freshman All-America honors from the Football Writers Association of America and College Football News. Getsy helped build the Broncos' 2014 recruiting class that was rated in the top 50 nationally and the best in MAC history by Rivals.com. He recruited LS Wyatt Pfeifer of Delaware, Ohio, to Western Michigan, the only MAC signee to be selected to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
As the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (2011-12), Getsy helped guide the Crimson Hawks to the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference title and a final ranking of No. 6 in Division II in 2012. The team ranked No. 10 nationally in rushing offense with an average of 259.3 yards per game, led by a pair of 1,000-yard rushers in Harvie Tuck (1,660) and De'Antwan Williams (1,325). Tuck was named the PSAC Offensive Player of the Year for the Western Division in 2012. In 2011, Tuck rushed for 1,007 yards (No. 3 in the conference) and QB Pat Smith posted a 155.0 passing efficiency rating (No. 4 in the conference) under Getsy's direction.
Getsy served as an offensive graduate assistant at the University of Pittsburgh in 2010. He was part of a staff that helped guide the Panthers to a share of the Big East title and an appearance in the BBVA Compass Bowl, where they beat Kentucky, 27-10. Pittsburgh's offense featured three players who were selected in the 2011 NFL Draft in WR Jon Baldwin (Kansas City), RB Dion Lewis (Philadelphia) and T Jason Pinkston (Cleveland).
In 2009, Getsy was the offensive coordinator at West Virginia Wesleyan College. He began his coaching career at his alma mater, the University of Akron, serving as a graduate assistant from 2007-08.
As a player at Akron, Getsy set 24 individual school records in his two seasons with the Zips after transferring from Pittsburgh. As a junior in 2005, he led the MAC with 3,455 passing yards, the second-best single-season mark in school history to that point behind only Charlie Frye's 3,549-yard total in 2003. Getsy led the Zips to the conference title that season and was named MVP of the MAC Championship Game after throwing for 413 yards in a 31-30 victory vs. Northern Illinois. He went on to throw for 455 yards, a Motor City Bowl record, along with four TDs, against Memphis in the Zips' first-ever Division I FBS bowl game.
As a senior, Getsy led the MAC with 2,665 passing yards on 199-of-380 passing and added 18 TDs. In just two seasons with the Zips, Getsy threw for 6,117 yards, the fourth most in school history, and 41 TDs with 23 INTs on 477- of-905 passing. He graduated with a degree in marketing management and sales management, earning MAC All- Academic honors in 2005 and 2006.
