Luke Getsy’s success with Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams is intriguing, but he’s never coordinated an offense in the NFL.

The Packers assistant has a relationship with Eberflus, one that is apparently strong enough that the new head coach feels comfortable placing the development of Justin Fields into Getsy’s hands.

Still only 37, Getsy is getting a lot of attention in the NFL coaching world. He even interviewed with the Denver Broncos for their head coaching vacancy this year. Plus, why not weaken your top rival while making a big coaching hire?With Hackett taking the Broncos’ head coaching job, Getsy appeared to be the obvious choice to take over as the offensive coordinator in Green Bay.

That tells me that Getsy will bring strong rushing and play-action elements from Green Bay, but ultimately tailor a new offense around Justin Fields’ talents. RPOs have been a major part of the Packers' offense in recent years so I would expect plenty of those too.Getsy does not have NFL play calling experience and developing a young quarterback is much different than working with Aaron Rodgers. Then again, Getsy has been working with Jordan Love behind the scenes the last two years.
