Green Bay Packers Promote Offensive Lineman to Offensive Coordinator to Replace Nathaniel Hackett

After being knocked out of the title chase early, the Green Bay Packers are making some changes. The status of their veteran quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, is still unknown. There is still time before next season’s draft. But the Packers have started making changes on the sidelines. 

Green Bay has promoted their offensive line coach Adam Stenavich to offensive coordinator. It could be the sign of better things to come for the Packers. Stenavich has been phenomenal in his position before, but he has the potential to shine as an OC as well. 

Adam Stenavich’s history with the Packers

Stenavich joined Green Bay in 2019 as an offensive line coach. He served in that position for the 2019-20 season. Last year he also took on the role of run game coordinator. Under the guidance of Stenavich, the duo of a couple of Packers’ running backs made an impressive record.

Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon had 1,190 and 1,116 yards, respectively. They became the second duo in the history of the Packers to record more than 1,100 yards from scrimmage in a single season. The feat was first achieved by John Brockington and MacArthur Lane, with 1,270 and 1,106 all the way back in 1972.

The Packers have led the NFL in terms of possession in both of their previous seasons. They also tied with the Vikings and Seahawks with 13 turnovers in 2021. Green Bay also became the first team in the history of the league with 13 or fewer giveaways for three straight seasons. 

Green Bay moving to the next season

After being eliminated from the playoffs by the 49ers, the Packers have a lot of time to reflect on their mistakes. Changes to the squad are inevitable. Their star quarterback Aaron Rodgers has stated that he does not want to be a part of a rebuilding team. Rodgers will be entertaining offers from other teams this offseason. 

While Rodgers looks for options, Green Bay is focused on improving itself. They are making changes to the coaching staff, starting with the promotion of Adam Stenavich. The Packers had their eyes set on the Super Bowl this year, but they could not get it. The team will be motivated now more than ever to win the big one next season. What is your take on promoting Stenavich to the offensive coordinator?
